Figures 12 to 14: The Kansas City Union Station was a mammoth undertaking. Nick cast most of the wall features in resin after making molds of styrene masters. He devised a technique where he could cast an entire corner section in one piece by putting a large block of Styrofoam in the mold cavity to leave a hollow interior. The result is an incredible building with no cracks or seams on the corners. Figure 15: A master and the mold made from it. Figures 16 to 19 (next page): If you think it looks good on the outside, it has a fully detailed interior, too! Figure 13 – Nick Muff photo Page 54 • Issue 11-08 • Aug 2011 • Nick Muff’s KCS, page 8
