I'll be building this FOS kit here very soon. Any followers ?
I'm there! Ahhhh here? I'll be following!

I will be following along.

What Eric said!!
I'm in... :)
I'm here.

Definitely will follow along, have 2 FOS kits I plan to build, and a couple others on my 'to buy' list, but not built one of Doug's kits yet.
Hope the kit arrives soon for you, 17 days seems sort of long.

Hi Candy:
Built that when it came out. It's one of my favorite FOS kits. Enjoy your build. I probably have a photo of my build somewhere.
Karl
I'll be watching..... :)
This was a birthday present but I picked it out. ;)
I can't wait to see what you do with this.

Karl
Thanks Karl. I don't know if the ugly ones will sell tickets :-\ Here is my sign. Picture blocked as not appropriate for this forum.
Is a nice sign Candy ;)
The signs that get me are the ones that claim -
Live Nude Girls!
Like they are going to show dead nude girls. I've seen my share and they ain't purty! :'( :'( Another curse from my Crime Scene Technician days. Just another reason I studied hard for the Lieutenant's exam.

Oh Candy, I forgot to mention I'm following your Hokum's House build.

Thanks Tom ;D
Started bracing the walls today. I made one mistake but it was easily corrected. Next I must paint the trim. Pictures coming soon.
Hi Candy:
Can't wait to see some photos.

Worked on wall stuff today. Put on my first sign. Came out okay. I give myself a C+
Nice work ;)
your off to a good start.
Jim
HELP !
It says, " While you're at it, add the loft doors."
What loft doors ?
I've taken a quick gander thru the kit. Not exactly a lot of pictures to help with the instructions. There is a pair of doors and a single door on the bottom of wall W12. I think these are the doors he's referring to. I see a pair of doors and two single doors on the parts sheet along with the two sets of triple doors. The other single door goes on W10. I don't remember if Bob B. did a build on this, perhaps he can help as well.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff. If it's a loft how could there be a door without a fire escape ? I'm confused
But it must mean the doors at the bottom of W12 What else is there. The small door must be a stage door.
ReadingBOB ! Help
Candy, this may be of help. A thread Karl S. did on RRLine with some pics of his version of this kit:
FOS Scale - Hokum's Burlesque
http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24072 (http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24072)

I don't think he meant to say "loft doors". At this point I'd just add the front entrance doors to the front wall and then the doors to the side wall and rear wall. That should leave you one extra which goes on the roof top access shed. Hope this helps! I had a thread on this one on the old forum but I'm certain it's long since been turned into electronic dust. :'(
Hi Mike:

I didn't use yellow paint, as they had suggested, because I didn't want it to look like a Chinese restaurant. I use a wash of alcohol and ink then I painted the walls with DecoArt Buttermilk. The walls look old and faded. Just what I wanted.

What is this Challenge all about ?
Candy, here's the original msg with Raymo's thought, which he posted on 9/12 in the Baggage Car. It just took off from there.
"...Good Morning forumite's. At the Narrow Gauge Convention, I had conversations with Jimmy and Jaime about doing a "Build Thread Challenge" to try and get some build threads on the forum for people to use for reference. Jaime's only concern would it would fall flat like his Tyco building challenge a couple years ago. Here's what I'm thinking, Build anything, just do a build thread, that's the challenge. No judging, no prizes, just helping other people providing them with a reference for their builds. It can be anything from a Bar Mills Basic to a Fine Scale kit. We would start Oct. 1st and the challenge would go to the end of January. My first thought was New Years but my thinking is December is a blur for most of us with the holidays so modeling takes a step back. Let me know if you think it will work, Raymo..."

I attached the turret to the walls yesterday. I was very careful to make sure the walls were held vertical and plumb as there was very little support on that end of the structure.

I like the photo Candy , but I don't think it works as a sign as well as the other on , maybe because of the gray background.
I agree with Jan. The background color is too dark to go with the Building colors.

Yes, I don't think it works either. Something more colorful, I think

It says to mount the sign onto the scrap clipboard. I have no idea what he is talking about. I have the sign cut out but what is the scrap clipboard ? Anyone know?
Candy.... Looking great so far. I built this kit a few years ago. Had a really fun time too. I will see if I have some pics on my computer and share with you. As for the clipboard..... He may mean to mount the sign on a piece of cardboard that you may have lying around. I can't remember back that far as to what I did. Sorry....
Brad
Or it could be clapboard, which would be a scrap piece of wall siding.
Candy,
I am sure Doug meant to say "chipboard" and that is the "cardboard" that you used for the roof. You should have some extra pieces in the kit, if not any piece of thin cardboard will work.
Your build is looking great.
Jim
Thanks everyone. After I finished the roof I threw the rest of it away. Guess I should have kept it. will find something I can use.

Agreed. Find a tablet (a pad of paper type tablet, not the iPad type of tablet ;D ) and take the cardboard off the back and use that.
Cereal box.
I found out that I didn't throw the roofing cardboard away after all but there isn't a piece of scrap that is big enough. But I found an idea piece of cardboard so the sign will be done tonight.
I found a large piece of photo mat material and it was perfect for my sign. Sign is done and looks good.
I still have not heard back from FOS about the missing parts. I think I can get around it. I will try.

Roof shed is done and on the roof. Had a little trouble with it but got it done. I aged the thing with AI and that's all it needed. The picture showed a trash can next to the door but I didn't add it. How was anyone going to empty a trash can on the roof ???
