Title: Alvin hat company kit
Post by: Steve25m on March 10, 2019, 07:26:43 AM
I saw it and  it's different looks just drew me in, so I could not resist it, what can I say, and like most of us I still have like 12 other kits sitting around that I need to get to!

This Bar mills kit is very nice and the building has a lot of different character to it due to its design and the ruff cut clap board on it.

I am looking forwards to getting around to building it soon!

Fun building. Kinda reminds me of the old Fallburgh station kit.

Hey Tom:

I test built that for Barmills when it first came out. It's a great kit.

I built that kit a year or so ago.  The rough sawn siding is nice, but it didn't fit within my urban area, so I set it aside for a different project and went with diamond shingles.  I was going for that 'silvery weathered shingle' look, but didn't quite get there.   Like other Bar Mills kits, it goes together well.
