John,
Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
Tom ;D
Hi Jon:
Thanks for the great pictures.
Karl
I want everyone to understand that the pictures on this thread are from George Sellios' FSM web site and are the work of Tara Sellios. See http://www.finescaleminiatures.com (http://www.finescaleminiatures.com/)
The purpose of including them here is to get a thread started on "what's new on the F&SM". I hope that others will use this thread to post new pictures of the F&SM as George makes changes to his "almost completed layout". I have never seen one of those. ;)
I discussed posting them here with George - in fact he mentioned them as the latest - what's new on the F&SM. George is in the middle of his kit production time of year and is not working on the layout right now.
John,
I knew you were taking them off the FSM site but was just thanking you for sharing them here. I'm seen them on the FSM site as well. Thanks again.
Tom ;D

No issues - I just read a few of the comments above and wanted to make sure proper credit was given for the source of the pictures.
Make sure you take a look at the build thread for this years Fine Scale Miniatures kit on this forum.

I confirmed with George that he has shown a cardboard markup to some of his guests that he is playing with for a potential new kit. I repeat no commitment but playing with the idea. Wow - just like being retired. I got the following detail - it's not a structure currently on the F&SM.
I had a nice long talk with George and he has decided that he is going to do another kit. He is real excited about it - he will just say it's something different and new and the cardboard markup has been well received at his open houses. He is currently working on the directions when he is not filling orders for his current kit. The sales are going well for the new kit - on pace to be another sell out.
On the retirement issue, George asked me how I liked retirement and I told him I love it. I said I get up every day and do something a love to do.
George's response was " well you know John I feel the same way about building my kits". It sounds to me like George has found what he wants to do in retirement. At least for now.

George took a break from designing his new kit to build this flour mill version of the Hazen Boyd kit for the F&SM. George wants to know which version you like better?
The new kit design is coming along - George is currently working on some new castings for his new creation.
George Released his new kit JS18 today. It is called Westside Auto. See his website for details.

I've got a secret!
Make sure you come to the next open house during the Amherst Society show in W. Springfield, Ma. Friday Jan. 29th 2016. George has been busy building like a madd man! Everything is in the shadows... (shadow boxes, that is)! Thanx Thom...

Looks great - looking forward to my next visit.
Some of us need to be at the Big E that afternoon for setup, so maybe I'll get a chance during the Expo.
I just got off the phone with George Sellios and he asked me to let everyone know that he plans to retire from kit manufacturing at the completion of the I.M. Dunn kit. He wants to spend more time in retirement working on his layout. I can't wait to see what he does with the extra space that was reserved for kit manufacturing. I want to wish George and Cathy a very happy, long, and healthy retirement.
