FSM #130 - Ezra Coopers Garage

[GPdemayo]

Appreciate you looking in Karl.....I guess Tom's right, I seem to have 2 "Greg Speeds", one for running locos and one for building structures.

I remember I used to be able to build a real house in about the same time it has been taking me to put these kits together. I guess a bit more organization is needed or maybe a bit of retirement time.

Hey Greg:

Always enjoy structure build by all.

Yepper,  this is the opposite end of the "Greg Speed" spectrum. Moving right along Greg my friend.

I should know, I haven't done any modeling or layout work for close to six weeks.


I hope to change that this afternoon.

Hey  Tom.....I think "Greg Speed" is out the window and I'm in reverse. I haven't gone in the hobby room to work on this in the last 2 weeks.....

Greg,

No problem my friend. You are doing a fantastic job on the garage. The added details will really make it a winner.

It's been a couple of months since I have done any work on the garage, but with the new Forum Challenge coming up in a couple of days, I thought it might be a good idea to get this one finished before starting a kit for the challenge. So with a couple of free minutes yesterday I got a little bit completed on the build.
 
After looking at the newly installed posts, I thought that they might need some protection from the cars that will being pulling in and out of the garage for repairs. Some post guards would help take the brunt of any collision and spare the post from damage. Some 6x6 material was cut to 3' lengths with a 60 deg. bevel on the top.
 
Exhibit #1 - (ECG-081)

 
They were glued to the front and rear side of each column and are awaiting painting.
 
Exhibit #2 - (ECG-082)

 
Exhibit #3 - (ECG-083)

 
It's a start, but I am planning to get this one finished and onto the next build as soon as possible.
 
That's all for today.....y'all have a Happy New Year!
