Hi All:

Signs are scanned in and 2 copies printed. That way I get to keep them and if I make a Boo-Boo it doesn't matter.

Aren't you glad that 'scent generators' never took off in the hobby?  I'm afraid what a waterfront would smell like!   Looks like a good kit and fun build.

There are some ocean front smells that might be worhhy of reproducing but most that I can think would really limit the time I could be in my own RR room.

Fun kit Karl

Thanx

Thanks for posting this build.  I ordered mine yesterday.  These kits fit my pocketbook better than FSM.  Full Steam was out of the bike shop; so I will order that later

The build is looking good Karl.  I think the FSM kit will look good in those colors. As always thanks for sharing your builds.

Hi All:

Here are some progress photos. Roofs and rafter tails are added. I added trim under the roofs to get my outside rafter. Not in the kit. Platform is added over the 2nd story door. Also added the wall billboard. Added fancy castings from my old billboard kits. Hope you like it. Opps need to add roof peak trim.
