This is my fourth attempt at a build thread, the fifth installment of a series of six to be converted from a much smaller scale.
I recently assembled the 1:160 scale conversion of the Planter's Inn Savannah (and Oliver Sturgis House).
Built by Oliver Sturgis, there were two, "twin Houses" at the location of John Wesley's American Parish In Savannah Georgia, after one of the two was destroyed by fire the, "John Wesley Hotel" was built in it's place, the original hotel was revitalized in the 1970's and became the Planter's Inn.
The tag line goes like this:
The Planters Inn Savannah and the Oliver Sturges House are at the site of John Wesley’s American Parish in the Historic Landmark District, a 200-year-old, original boutique hotel with many features and amenities, perfect for vacation, weekends, or business.
60 rooms of amenities and services for both leisure and business, a romantic getaway on Reynolds Square, an easy stroll to River Street.
Upscale, comfortable access to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, museums, shopping , nightlife and dining.
The House of Oliver Sturges occupies the site of John Wesley’s American Parish, the founder of Methodism in America, it is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The River front thrives with shops and entertainment, as witnessed by the Historic Cotton Exchange since 1887, over two million bales were shipped through Savannah.
having only about 70 parts I was VERY reluctant to convert this one as it was way beyond my comfort zone, being much larger than what I'm used to measuring aproximately 15" (38cm) long, 8" (20.3cm) high and 5" (12.7cm) wide at the widest point, four times the size of my average and I've never converted anything so big as to require an internal support structure(s).
Unlike the smaller models with, "edge on edge glueing", this one actually has a number of glue tabs.
If you have the patience and skill set to bring it to completion, you may find it quite rewarding.
I am far better at drawing these than I am at actually assembling them, having all thumbs, no attempt has been made to correct or alter it, "straight outta th' box" what you see is what you get.
I'm sure many of the members of this forum have expert skills and could do a much better build.
An auto correct application was used for the photographs so parts may appear lighter than they really are.
Any mismatched coloration is due to my printer fading on one side.
