HI Jan:
I'll be watching this one. Built it some time back. If I remember you can move the water tank towards the end on the building and build one leg support on the outside of the building. I suggest this for more interest. Correct me if I have forgotten and am wrong.
Karl
Looks like a neat kit.....I'll be watching. :)
I'm looking forward to watching the build.

Yep! That's an interesting idea, Karl.
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Hey all.
I started to work on the interior bracing and added the first colour on the walls. I was looking for those greyish old tones on the wood....

Hi:
Looks coll. You gonna do laundry after the glue dries with all those clothespins.

HI Marty:
I'm not building this one. Pollux Is.

I took this kit up to the cottage a few weeks ago to light up and build for the National Train Show. My booth was next to Bar Mills so I thought it would be nice to have at the show. However, I am the polar opposite of Karl when it comes to construction speed. If I were to set up a camera on my work bench and do one of those time lapse things you would probably see age spots appear on my hands and watch my knuckles swell. :P

Yep! thanks for your comments chaps!!
An update :)
The walls are painted. Maybe they need some weathering once glued, I think, the peeling effect is so tenuous.....not?

Pollux,
Your build is coming along very nicely; I really like the look you achieved on the walls. The faded and failing paint looks very convincing. Can you give us a little insight as to what you did to the walls to achieve these results.
Much appreciated,
--Paul
looking very nice
