Hi All:

Will be starting this kit this afternoon. Looks pretty cool. Here's a few photos. I love Doug's background kits. I have all of them built up.

Great!   :D  I really like this one.  It's on my wish list for X-Mas (although I may have to cross it off if I pick up at the EXPO).   ;)

Hi All:

Tried to make this one A little more F&SM looking. Added some stuff to the kit.

I added the soda sign on the side wall, and some Pa[per Creek corrugated siding as weathering detail. I'M including the sign if anyone wants to use it. Also lifted boards and did heavier dry-brushing.

Who?........What?........When did the paint dry?  The last thing I saw the package wasn't even opened.  Did this come pre built.........OH wait, this was a Karl "Quick Kit".

Fantastic Build Karl as usual.  I almost missed it.

Looks great Karl.  It takes me this much time just to read the instructions of a kit and you already have it built!
