Hello All,
Today I opened and sorted through the different parts of the kit. I fixed a broken resin wall, and started detailing the wood walls.

You have a lot of work in front of you Curt.

Curt that looks like a fun build and certainly enough pieces parts to keep you busy for awhile. Take your time and have fun with the build. I'll be following this one and will be interested to see where you place it on your layout.
HO scale?

Its a long while since I've seen a build of this one. Looking forward to see what you do with it, Curt.
Cheers, Mark.
Howdy Curt,
While there are a lot of parts in the kit, it is much better than a 2"X4" and a razor blade you find in some kits. I'm sure you'll have a blast. BTW, I can recommend a good therapist after you paint all those detail parts.
Have fun,
mike
Curt, congratulations on the new kit.
You already know how great the SierraWest kits are since you just finished one.
Have fun with this one and I'll be happy to follow along.
I love the smell of resin parts in the morning. :) Looks like a fun kit.

I dunno, the old Magnuson kits stunk pretty badly!
On that cracked corner, consider turning that into a 'feature'. Use a thicker CA so the parts don't mesh quite perfectly, and then weather it as if the foundation shifted and caused the crack.

Curt, I think you have a year of detail finishing on this kit. I'll be following along.
This should be fun. Can't wait.
Curt, my good man, and great builder, especially of SW kits.
Glad to see you rolling out the red carpet for this one! Of all
of the Sierra West kits, this is my favorite design that Brett did.
I will be watching as you proceed. Good luck and turn this into
something special.
