  • This week, I return to the Little Mining Town of Rainbow Ridge to build Pat Casey's Last Chance Saloon! My version of Rainbow Ridge is an homage to the original town that once stood near the load area for Disneyland's long gone Mine Train thru Nature's Wonderland attraction. Some of the structures still survive in the Big Thunder queue, but this one has sadly passed into Yesterland. The kicker here is that I'm using the same plans and parts that I used to build the Dead Eye Saloon in Gruesome Gulch a few weeks back. This is a build with lots of unique details!
    Thanks for watching, amigos!

    nice model Dave, really super and getting a 2 for 1 with the gruesome gulch saloon, extra nice. My Dad used to use that phrase, about cat skinning too ;) till next time--see ya!

    Hi David
    That's a neat little building, as is its darker cousin the dead eye saloon. Amazing what a difference a change of theme can make to a structure.
    I like the little details on the front to make the dentist as well that makes rainbow ridge seem more populated than it probably is.
    I like the way the lack of depth is hidden by the inner wall.
    regards John

    My home was built in the 1860s. The front doors had what I would describe as diamond paper windows. I never could figure out if that was original or something added later for privacy. Well, unfortunately the glass had to be replaced a few years ago so they will soon also be lost to the sands of time.

    The Golden Horseshoe Saloon at Disneyland also uses the same concept of a partition wall just inside the entry. Nice detail indeed...keep up the good work.

    Now your old west saloon looks kind of like a Bob Evan's restaurant @14:32!

    Really good stuff, Dave! I really like you jumping around to different parts of the layout. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

    Dave:
    I was listening to your podcast.
    You comment about the model railroad hobby press only covering prototype model railroading.
    I suspect that this is because people are not writing about this kind of modeling.
    Railroad model craftsmen, the NMRA magazine as well as model railroad hobbyist (and I suspect Model Railroader) are always looking for material.
    Having been an editor of a newsletter, I can tell you that finding material to print is by far the hardest part.
    I know that it is asking you to take on more work, but contact them.
    Your work would help expand the hobby.
    Also:
    I know you are “not a joiner”, but I know that the local NMRA people would would love what you are doing.
    Please give them a chance.

      I have a few projects going in that regard so probably laster this spring or early summer.

    Such nice work. I assume that you have a laser cutter and cut those pieces yourself?

    I could have saved you some time and sent you one of the teeth from when my kids were little. 😀

    If it wasn't for a laser printer (Would love to have one but I'd need to shop around and see what fits my workspace and meets my cost/needs first) how viable would custom scratch-built structures be utilizing craft sticks and coffee stir sticks? I know they can be quite large and crooked but a small belt sander might be able to help with things. Some people have built some great structures out of stir sticks before. Have you ever worked with that craft medium and can give some insight if possible?

    • @ThunderMesaStudio
      @ThunderMesaStudio  Před rokem

      I use stir sticks all the time for things like retaining walls, fences, piers and boardwalks. They tend to be a little too rough and thick for finer detailed parts.

    Great structure as always. What are the links to the Matterhorn site and the other you mentioned besides Gorillas Don't Blog?

    Nice videos, great layout, unfortunately poor microphone sound quality, almost sounds like a telephone sound of the past.
