TWO MEETING STREET INN (Charleston, South Carolina)

[FRD]

With ample allure, it’s no surprise
that Two Meeting Street captures
the admiration of all who visit the
Historic Charleston Battery and
White Point Gardens.

Exemplary in its exquisite hospitality
and premier location, Two Meeting
Street Inn offers luxury
accommodations and a rich Bed and
Breakfast legacy.

A romantic location unrivaled in Historic Charleston, an escape to the most
recognized Inn at Two Meeting Street.

An elegant Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the beautiful, South of Broad
neighborhood.

Unique in its appeal, Two Meeting Street’s architecture and location make it the
focal point of photographers and artists from around the world.

What can I say?, this is the Inn that I’ve been waiting for!, of the series, this one is at the, “top of the list” in, “aesthetic appeal” and is probably the most popular of the series.


This is the last of the series to be recovered, a few short months ago we thought all of these inns were, “lost and gone forever”, thinking that we would never see them again, I would like to thank those who helped in the recovery effort.

I would also like to personally thank the owners of the Two Meeting Street Inn who graciously provided the needed oversight required to bring this endeavor to completion and in doing so, embraced the card modeling community. (thanks Julie!)

We were warmly welcomed and accommodated that holiday season from the moment we stepped off of Meeting Street, it was like a step back into a simpler time ensconced in earlier values.

Here are a few images of the Inn where you are more than welcomed.

Here are a few images of the cover sheets, as with most of my models, note that there are no, “instruction” other than full color, “part identification diagrams” an, “introduction” shared, “techniques” for the novice or first time cardmodeler.

[FRD]

Parts are numbered in their order of application.

Here are a few of the diagrams.

As with most of my models, the detail is, “infinite” and can be viewed best with a magnifying glass, “the closer you look, the more you will see” and this little replica is no exception.

Most notably, if I’m not mistaken, this little Inn has no less than nine, “stained glass windows” although it will take magnification to locate them all, look close enough and you will see that the pieces of glass composing the stained glass windows are in place, the detail is almost, “infinite”.

Here area few images of the footprint, the roof, random parts and tile details illustrating my typical window shadowing techniques.

I currently don’t have the ability to print or do a, “build thread” but fortunately, our good friend, “Texman” has!, while Ray claims to be, “all fingers” and that he had not assembled anything remotely like it before, he did a remarkably good build back in 2014 when this model was first developed. (thanks Ray!)

His build thread can be seen here->

This Inn has 80 parts on four part sheets, to be printed on, “letter size” (8.5” x 11”) cardstock of your preference, it is, “N Scale” comparable at 1/160 scale, there are ten pages in total.

Due in part to its small size and complexity, there are no, “glue tabs”, it is strictly, “edge on edge” glueing.
