Next up, I began adding the strips after creating a 'well' for the water where the roofs meet.  I did have some issues fitting the angled portion of the cardboard roof, which I addressed with a little trimming.

Unfortunately, my limited time cut into my taking pictures.  The next image shows the nearly finished roof, with chimneys and various vents attached.  I also decided to attach the livery stable, since I found the dimensions of my intended diorama expanding out of control. I used the foundation provided with the kit on the livery, but will be leaving them off the Callahan Machining building.

Here's another view from the end where the gas station will be placed, underneath the 'Rope' sign.

This is how the building appears today.  I added some weathering, plus the awning on the apartments section.  I highly recommend this kit.  I'm sure the visual will be very satisfying for anyone on the fence regarding to build or sell.  It's been a lot of fun.

This shot overlooks the stable, plenty of bird poop.

Here's a shot of the back.  I'm probably going to spice it up a bit, but it will be mostly in hiding since it will be very close the Harrison and Rochelle Enamel Works.

Wow, really nice results on that part of the kit, Mark. Those angles are a bit of a challenge and you pulled it off nicely.  I like your weathering and detailing.
