Methinks we've got a little Purina Chows action coming. These teasers from you and Doug are cruel! :'(

I agree - it's cruel and the suspense is creating a crisis of expectations so we need more pictures really soon!!

Really cool.

There are so many choices now for great craftsman kits it's hard to pick a favorite.

Ok ok, here is a iPhone shot.


It is slowly coming together.
I should say, some of the roof details are not glued in place yet.

I hope to get more done this weekend, if it rains.

Wow - that was fast!  It looks great Hal. Looking forward to the release. I think it will look great in my yard area - I still need to name the yard.

How much space should I reserve for it ? Can you give us a rough footprint size.

Post by: halrey on May 24, 2014, 09:10:18 AM
John, the building is "L" shaped the long leg is 16.5" x 4.5" and the short leg is 11.5" x 4.5.
At the original location, the back sides of the building were water front.
