Bench Time #84: Jake & Dave from Crescent Creek Models

This week we were pumped to have Dave Meek & Jake Johnson from Crescent Creek Models to tell us all about the new Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn O Scale kit that they've just released.  As you both know from their previous appearances on our show, both Jake & Dave have impressive modeling backgrounds and have built a career around their art and craftsmanship. So it is only fitting that they've turned to manufacturing some kits for the model railroading and craftsman model building communities. In this episode we have Dave and Jake give us a little historical background on the Carolwood Barn from Disney, how it became such an iconic Disney structure, and they give us some interesting stories on why it was built and how it was even moved at one point.  They also cover the fun and interesting details on the processes they had to go through to make this into a kit. Very entertaining and we all got a couple good stories and some laughs out of it.  This kit for now is only available in "O" scale, but don't rule out anything in the future with these two... We suspect they've got a lot more up their sleeves. You can order your own Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn O Scale Kit Here, and also stay up-to-date with Crescent Creek Models on their website and facebook page.
