Thank you for following along and the encouragement.  The cows are straight out of the box and will need some chalk and detailing to look more realistic. This is going to be one of those builds where the detailing will take longer than the structure build itself.

Great progress on this build John!  You really know how to juggle multiple builds at the same time.  As usual your stone work is fantastic.  You probably have mentioned it before, but what is that neat looking fixture you're using on the J. Wilikers walls in the picture below?  It looks like a real fancy fixture to hold pieces at a 90 degree angle.

Thank you for following along and the kind words. I like having two or three builds going at once - it's just the way I like to do it.  The layout table is simply a series of T slots with a variety of clamping fixtures sold by Rockler. It works real nice for the assembly of structures. I have been using it now for a couple years so if you look back through this build thread you will see it in action.  I also posted pictures of the various clamps and fixtures.

John I see your off and running two at a time.


Your usual high standards on both.


Always great to follow along with your builds.

Thank you for following along and the encouragement.  I typically have three going at once - I haven't posted an update, lately, but I'm also working on the installation of the Brick Roundhouse - wiring and details that I want to install in place on the layout instead of on the workbench.
