The Official F&SM Layout Thread! / 2021 Open Houses
June 21, 2021, 06:30:45 PM
George has asked me to make the following clarification based on an unauthorized post here earlier today.


There is NO F&SM open house this Saturday or at any other time in June. He is planning open houses for July and August and, when he decides on Covid-related mitigation, will announce the dates and details very soon.

The Official F&SM Layout Thread! / 2020 FSM Pilgrimage
February 08, 2020, 02:39:14 PM

George has marked his calendar for June 27th, 2020 for this year's friends and fellow modelers F&SM Pilgrimage. For those unfamiliar, it gives us an opportunity to gather together in Peebiddy at the layout for a few hours of awe-inspiring inspiration, and then a lunch gathering in the area. For those of us traveling from afar we usually book the same hotel and catch a nice dinner that evening. We had about 20 people last year and it was a wonderful time.


He hopes to have the new Stromboli area ready for unveiling for us, with a couple of new tall buildings. We always try to set the date well ahead of time to give people a chance to mark their calendars and make arrangements. If you think you're interested, even tentatively, it's a good idea to message me just so that we can keep a list for updates and not leave anyone out. C'mon...June!

Ready to jump into the Winter Build Challenge. Started monkeying with a kitbash mockup just before Christmas. I hope to bash FOS's Wiley Waterproofing (renamed in Tom's honor) and Carter Supply.

Kit Building / Takoma Shops - Carolina Craftsman Kits

An outbuilding from a much larger kit I'm still working on...pix to follow. This is actually supposed to be the office for a brick/coal/cement dealer. I went rogue as I loved the Muddy Paws sign and wanted to use it. Sorry, Jeff...it'll be right in the instructions!

Kit Building / Murdock Fasteners by FOS
June 27, 2018, 09:22:19 PM
So I'm struggling to finish these AMB/Laserkit Depots for an area modeler. I don't care for those kits and keep procrastinating. This weekend I thought if I could simultaneously do a build one for myself it would keep my nose to the proverbial grindstone. I'll need a number of backgroundets for my town of Foley, so this little guy would, I figured, would fill the bill.

Just a few simple walls. Sanded the nubbin's off the edges and did my nailhole routine. I got lazy and didn't space them properly (window/door openings, for example. Just spaced two feet apart. It'll be a  background structure, after all.

Kit Building / Architectural Details
June 27, 2018, 08:09:06 AM
Anyone know how George did the detail found up at the tops of these buildings? I'm always peeping the craft stores for useful doo-dads but these have eluded me for some time. I'm thinking too small to be doll house parts...maybe he created masters and made molds? Scavenged from old kits? Thanks!
