O scale wall of my own design

Another O scale wall of my own design, made purposely large enough to accommodate the signage. All the signs are from real signs; Lill was a coal company in Chicago. An O scale 3" relief kit, including interior details and signs. Urethane and 3D printed parts. Email me if interested.
