The Yost Six?

This is another one of those projects I've had in the back of my mind for a long, long time, but haven't made any progress on. A couple of weeks ago I decided to at least make a start by building the shell. I thought if I had the shell staring at me it would silently nag me into finishing it sometime in the new year when I was looking for a construction project to fiddle with.

And while I was making a start I was thinking that this model would be the Yost tribute theatre I've been hoping to make. The Walthers kit I had earmarked for this seemed much too large and staid. The Imperial Six seems very Toronto to me, and Yost and his Saturday Night at the Movies tv show was a very Toronto thing, so I'm thinking the Imperial Six is going to be the Yost memorial model. The Yost Six maybe? The name needs work.

Construction is much the same as used for Coles on Yonge

There's no detail on the back wall as that's going to be the canvas for an Imperial Six related decal much in the same way one was used on the back wall of A&A's for a ghost sign.

Let the nagging begin!

  1. I dunno, I've had projects nagging me for nigh on twenty years now. Perhaps you'll have more success with the strategy! (wink)

    1. Well, I might have another 20 in me, but I figure I better try any means to get going on these things :-)
