Morning all,

Congrats Bob on the one day left. Why you are one day away from "Every Day is Saturday except Sunday". Yes, Greg can certainly give you some penny pinching lessons.

Pam and I are going to visit a friend who has been in assisted living for the past year. Very sad as he wants to go home but the doctors say no.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

Late afternoon all,

I've been here to sneak around but forgot to say howdy all. So, howdy all!

I've also been very busy doing nothing.

Good luck Jim on the procedure.

Hope all is well with ya'll.

Morning Craig and all drifting in, 

Craig, wonderful tower. I'm very much looking a this one. I have a couple of questions, I'll email you.

Breakfast is served. We have scrambled eggs, dippy eggs, link sausage, sliced ham, bacon and fruit bowls. All drinks are on the end.

The judge is coming over this morning and all in the area are welcome to stop by and enjoy some great friendship and BSing that goes with it.

Yesterday I sprayed all the Budd passenger trucks silver to match the Budd cars. Wasn't much but it was a little.

Have a safe and healthy day.

Greg,

I bet the builder's license states, "Issued to Grasshopper DeMayo".

You are also a great level friend.

Quote from: nycjeff on April 14, 2024, 07:59:54 AMHello Tom, I'm really enjoying your version of the REA complex here and on the other forum. I'm sorry to hear you say that you won't be doing anymore detailed build threads in the future. I always learn something new while following along on your adventures.


Jeff,

I think when I posted that, I was a bit burned out from modeling and posting to two forums.

I've reconsidered the detailing and posting of my builds but I'll have a better handle on the next build. First, I need to finish this build and thread. It is the gift that keeps me going. There has to be an end in site.

Wow, you are very passionate modeller with so much detail. I would not be able to be so patient.

Good job.


Marty,

Long time no see. I am passionate about modeling. However, it can also wear me down as it takes much longer to complete a build. Patience I have with modeling, other things not so much!  8)  8)

As usual, I enjoy the way you present each step, and explain clearly why and how you completed this particular part of the build.  I find adding an interior can be a challenge, especially hiding the bracing necessary to keep everything square, plumb, and level.  Oh, wait, I must have missed the photo where you checked the walls for plumb.
Jerry,

I appreciate the comment. The interior was a challenge as you mentioned but painting the interior bracing the color of the interior wall made it not look so obvious.

Late morning all,

Jan, very happy to  hear the doctors got the heart rate under control. After all, you are building an "N" scale empire.

I'm now finished with the months worth of hard work in the yard.

Time to rest and work on the A&D RR.
