This will be my challenge build, a new kit just released by Jeff of the John Shea Co.. The prototype for this kit was in the center of Methuen Mass. and I found photos on the web taken a few years back and gave them to Jeff at the EXPO. Here's the photos off the web..
And here's the box and what's in the box
I won't get to deep into starting this till Jimmy's kit is done, but I have a few ideas of modifying this kit so I might play around with it while tonight.
Dan,
Looks like another winner by Jeff. I'll be following along.
Tom ;D
Mmmm.... :o I'm in!
I'm watching :o
Wouldn't miss it Dan..... :)
I'm going to sit behind Greg and follow along on this build Dan. I'll try to keep him in line but I have to warn you, it's not easy. ::)
Sometimes this whole group can be like herding cats! ;D

I will be following along and doing by best to keep Bob and Greg in-line. It looks like a great kit. I can't believe it took Jeff so long to get this kit out if he's had the pictures since the EXPO. He must be slowing down in his old age.
Thanks for all of the replies and Thanks to all the participants of the build challenge.

John, I think I had it 2 weeks after the EXPO, definitely before Thanksgiving. I was going to build it right away until Jimmy started welling up and crying at Marlborough Show about some dying kids wish to see a build thread on the Franklin Electric building so Jimmy could use it for the kit directions... True story.. Not really..

Holy cow! That is one scary guy. Not Donato but the guy in the picture.
I'm gonna start locking the doors around here.

Tom,
I have started locking my doors once I joined this group
Can not be too safe
Mike sigmon
I feel the need to post something to this thread hopefully to move from this page so I don't have to see Donato's friend anymore.
I chose these two colors to paint the buildings and trim. Like Tom and his build, I like the Pacemaker Red for the trim and windows.
This will be the biggest modification to the building, the rear wall on the right is the original. The one on the left has the changes I've made, I swapped the upper window and door, and added a set of double doors to the lower left. Instead of the taller windows, I'm going to use the same 4 over 4 windows on the lower floor as they are on the 2nd level.
Still on page 2? Damn...
Dan,
Let me see if I can help you out
Great job on this building so far
Like the colors
and the modifications you are making ..
Keep up the great work,
I'll be following along
Cheers
