Nice work

Helpful hint w/ AMB kits

They use self stick trims, over time the start to pull away or separate.

I did tons of these models and love them so I added a little glue to keep them in place.

Keep up the great work

Thanks Mr. S.   I've gone to cutting off the tabs on AMB (and the Blair Line I'm currently doing) and using real 1/16 trim instead of the stick-on.  Figured they wouldn't hold up over time.

Dave:

Nice weathered model and the added door and steps on the ground floor look good.

I agree about the stick on trim, I cut my own from basswood.

I didn't want to go to the trouble of making new windows from scratch, so I added glue to the stick on windows, hope that works over time.
