Off to a great start. I have seen this kit many times in ad's, this is the first time I have seen it built.

Antique white and other off-white colors look much better than stark white... I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish this.

The white is a bit more yellowish in real , just a tiny bit.
Glad to have you following.
I'll be following along ....

Jan,
Great build and the interior is wonderful. Lots of nice details to bring it all to life. I love it!
Tom ;D
Thanks Tom , N-scale kits should have more of these details like interiors.
Nice looking build, especially the interior pieces.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff.
A little more done today.
Installing roof panels.

Hi Jan:
Looks great so far. keep up the good work.
Karl
Wish I knew how to take the photo with the light as it is in real, not even close to as bright as in the photo.
Great Building, I have the kit and I will be glad to be able to use your work as a reference when I build it. Thanks Janbouli
Thank you and you're very welcome Jan
Jan, how do you like the molded shingles from Branchline. Just like to get your idea on them. I am not to fond of them and changed a few kits to regular shingles.

Not really fond of them either, I used them on the Dubois store because of all the angles in the roof , haven't painted or weathered it yet though.
