Tom,

I really like how this is turning out. Looks great. I love the weathering on the brick structure.

Here's some progress photos of the SRMW Blackstone Mill kit, kept the craft paint bottles busy and glazed the windows too...more to come soon...
Gregory..had to cut holes in the SRMW OV Hooker and SRMW Tucker & Cook roofs to let more moisture in the attic spaces...then will install the chimneys...

Some great progress there, Tom.

When is the last time we saw a craftsman kit with that much masonry?  I sure do miss the SRM offerings!

Nice job on the tiles.

Cheers, Mark.

Hey Tom:

Looks really great. I'll bet that roof took some time. Looks just great though.

Thanks Mark.
Only seen 4 SRMW builds in Minnesota so wanted to work on 16 of them under one roof.
Just like George used the Magnuson and Train of Texas brick walls, they have there place in modeling the New England area.
Roofs take time, using templates and applying the slate tile on the dormers roofs while on the workbench speeds things up....forgot one sill ...need to paint it...

Karl,
Thanks for following along.
The slate tiles do take time and the effect is neat. Double sided transfer tape was used on both builds.

Tommy I just had time to read up on this thread. What a wonderful adventure! I love the quality of modeling, the details and the modeling tips. Thank you for taking the time to share.
