Howdy All,
Been awhile since I have posted anything here. About a month ago finished up the Millett Creamery build for a friend here on the Forum. The pics are so, so, as I was in a rush to take them, so the loading dock is really not as crooked in the pics as shown. The first couple pics are in progress shots, and the rest are of the finished build. I replaced the main building Campbell Shingles, with Wild West scale Gray shingles. That's about it, Thanks for taking a look.....

Beautiful build, Loren.

I love the close up of the cracking plaster with the bricks showing through underneath.  Great attention to detail.  I'm a big fan of Bob's kits.  I'm sure your friend will be most happy!

Cheers, Mark.

Nice build, not a kit from SRMW that you see in finished form very often.  Thanks for sharing.

Great job on this build. One of Bob's finest. I probably have at least 12 favorite "Bob" kits. ;)

I have to thank Loren for the fantastic build he did on this kit.  The pictures don't do it justice.  I love the weathering he did on it.  My railroad is loosely based on the Rutland RR, and S.C. Millett had built several creameries on it.  Although the prototype for this one was in Ellenburg N.Y, I had to have this kit on my railroad.

The weathering on this SRMW kit is fantastic.  It truly represents an older building suffering the ravages of time without being overly weathered.

I remember building this one once, but not weathering it this nicely.
