FOS REA Building, kit bash and scratch build.

Tom,

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.

Tom,

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

Good job.

Hello 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.

I echo Jeff's comments as well...I learn much from the SBS build threads but don't always comment as much as I should...regardless, this has been s great thread to follow

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.

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!

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.

Grasshopper.....there is a certificate hanging on the wall behind me, issued in the 70's, that says I'm a licensed builder in our sunny (most of the time) state.

Greg,

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

You are also a great level friend.

Tom
