Bob,
Another great build and Thank You again for all the photos you shared in this process.
The lighting job is amazing. Will have to run some Oreo cookies thru the chocolate machine while all the photos are being studied.
Either it's living in Minnesota too long but this build gives me the chills...

Thanks Tommy.  Much appreciated.  I certainly don't miss the Pennsylvania winters.  I can't even begin to imagine what the Minnesota winters are like.   ;D

Bob,
       What a fantastic job, (of course) as usual.  This is an awesome job, love the lights!  Tom will love this and many who visit will take lots of pictures.  Thanks for sharing.  Thanx Thom...

Thanks Thom!  Very much appreciate the kind words coming from someone who's spent so much time around the FSM.  That sets the bar pretty high.    ;)

Bob,

Holy Moly, what a beautiful build. I'm speechless, this is absolutely fantastic.  I'm curious though, do the Oreos come with the build?

Now, I really do owe you lunch forever. Thank you so very much for this build.

Tom ;D

Sorry, the Oreo's don't require cold storage.   ;D ;D

You are certainly more than welcome.  Now I need to figure out a way to sneak it down your way and drop it off.   ;)


Bob,


No need to sneak, I'll be here this Saturday morning. Lunch on me.

Oreos are kosher. 

Learned that from a Jewish friend when I was in the Army National Guard.  She kept kosher,  even in the field, and always had a bag of Oreos.  I said, "Can I convert?"  She replied, "You gotta get circumcised before you get any of THESE cookies."    ;D

I like the "depth" that the different colors present when you look at the building straight on. Great work

Thanks John!  I just matched, as closely as possible, the colors of the pilot model.  I wasn't sure about the different shades of white at first but the way it turned out I like it.

I just saw the build in person Bob and it's fabulous.  I can't believe how thin and smooth you got the stucco on the walls.

That had t be interesting how she kept kosher.  You're just lucky that she wasn't a mohel.

Thank you for the kind comment Curt!  :D 

For this one I mixed the Durham's water putty with the paint and stippled it on the wall.  I figured why mix the water putty with water, stipple it on, let it dry and then paint it?  Why not kill two birds with one stone?  It was a relatively thin craft store acrylic.  Some come out of the bottle like toothpaste and need to be thinned with water.  Not this one.  It had a nice flow to it.  I just dipped my brush in the paint and then the water putty and mixed the to together directly on the wall as I stippled it on.  When it got too thick I'd just mix in more paint.  Not thick enough more water putty.  After a bit I found a nice consistency that seemed to work well and had at it.   :D
