Earlier this year I attended one of Doug Foscale's workshops, which focused on building his Ideal Hosiery kit. Picked up some great tips while building the kit in his new workshop. Time didn't permit finishing the whole build during the workshop, so I finished it up at home (finally). Here are a few pics of the finished product. I'll probably tweak it some more once I plant it on the layout with detail parts, some more weathering around the bottom of the building, etc.
Mark,
The structure looks great. Love the sign and weathering. Very well done.
Tom ;D
Well done. Love the sign and colors.

Mark,
Super job all around. :D It's going to look great when it's planted on a layout.
Tom, John & Bob, thanks for the compliments!
Nice Work :)
Very nice job. Weathering and the roofs look really good. Great job....

Great looking building. If I lived closer I'd love to attend some of his clinics.

Mark, that is one beautiful build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks everybody for the compliments! Doug's kits are always a fun build. I'm currently working on his Oyster Hill kit (like for the past 2 months!). I'll post some progress photos of that next.
Nice job, Mark. Did this one a couple of years ago when I was a club member. Took it with me.
Mark
Very nice work - it looks great.
Dave/John, thanks for the kind words.
Dave, like your build of the kit! how did you get your large sign to sit so nicely on the wall?
Sanded the vback to thin it...white glue...burnish into the clapboards with a fingernail.
Mark,
Nice work !
Tommy
Thanks Tommy!
Dave, thanks for the info. I'll need to try that the next time I build something. I can see where the thinned paper, along with the glue, will really help to sock down the sign into the wall.
Cool structure! Great job on the sign
