After posting my first laser kit around I had someone reach out to me asking if I could make a kit for the depot in Fort Dodge, IA.
This is a massive depot. The HO scale model would be more than 60" long. It would be a challenge to make this kit and there would have to be a bunch of 3D printed parts I believe.
On the other hand, it's an amazing building. With some selective compression I think I can get it down to a more reasonable size.
The postcard doesn't do it justice. It's red brick with stone accents. I'm hoping for more photos soon.
It's also not going to be a cheap kit. I haven't even started pricing out the materials but they won't be cheap. Then there is the design work.
So I guess my question is: Would anybody else here be interested in a copy of this kit if I make it? I'd expect it to cost more than $200 probably.
Thoughts? Am I crazy for even thinking about doing this?
