Jim,

Great service by Monroe Models and the signs look very good.

Tom, thanks.

The picture of the signs makes the posts look very rough, they look better in person.

They are a very soft metal, they wanted to bend very easily when I was cleaning them up, so decided to not go further and try and sand them a bit smoother.

Jim, I really think the signs look fantastic in the picture.  Detailing on the lowboys is nice, too.
Fun build to follow along with--thanks for posting.

Thanks all, appreciate the comments.

Got a bit more done, roof painted it's basic color, windows and doors installed.

Going to try to scribe just a few expansion joints in the building base, then attach it to main base. Weather them a little, along with the roof.

Need to decide what I will base the whole scene on.
