Karl,
I'll be watching, too.  I always enjoy your builds, though usually I just "lurk".

I'll be following along too!  I didn't get the kit at the EXPO (hey, I have to leave something for my wife to buy me for my Birthday or X-Mas  :) ) but I really like it.

Hi John:

I forgot to mention the gravel roof was added by me. Also there are castings to be painted and added to the diorama I add the structure to.

Hi Guys:

Added the base for my diorama. I wanted to do something a little different than Doug's Model. He had a street in from of the loading dock for I believe truck pull up. I added track to mine instead. Also added some side walks in front of the door and along the side. Let me know how you think it looks.

Karl,
I like the differences.  Makes a whole new structure.

Post by: martin.ojaste on April 12, 2016, 01:33:35 AM
Karl, I like the track idea. Did you consider a gravel/sand driveway to the dock by the front door?
Title: Re: Carter Supply FOS Scale Models
Post by: Zephyrus52246 on April 12, 2016, 07:39:42 AM
Nice looking structure, Karl.  The dock can be used for trucks from the sides and the rail from the front, good placement.

Hi Martin:

Glad you like the track. Yes the ground between the track and plaform will be a gravel drive way. Thanks for your comment.

Karl

Hi Jeff:

Thanks that's kinda what I had in mind. Also suggested by Martin. Sounds like we all think alike. Thanks for your comment.

OK ... got it......

I live off of the home page which only shows the most active boards on the right hand side.  I had not gone to the forum tab in a long time.  Home page gets me through all of the most recent posts and what is going on right now.

thanx
