I have found out that this thing is still on and I am still here. Hi, all!

Update on me:

Moved back to NJ in late 2016

Rejoined the Burlington County Model Railroad Club (www.bcmrc.org) then, took over coordination of the local 'Green Sheets' (SE PA/Lehigh Valley/Southern NJ list of clubs open for the holidays), served as secretary and president of the club, but really have not been active as I should.

The modeling mojo just has not been with me for a long while. Life being lifey, parents in their mid to late 80's that I help around the house with (dad has had multiple trips to the hospital/physical rehab) and just stuff in general. 

That said, hope everyone has been well. I'll try to visit more often.

An update....


I am still alive.


The kit survives up in Rhode Island.


I am only $25,000 away from calling it mine again.


Nothing legally binding, just in-law binding.


I'm going to try to visit here more often in an attempt to get the modeling mojo running again...

Greetings from the wilds of Southern NJ, home of Deblasolene.


I've been back here since late 2016, and been somewhat busy.


Not so busy that I haven't taken time to model, and I came across this thread....

Still in a holding pattern, the weather and lack of transportation to supplies is making it hard. I will post again when I have something to report.

Not much to report. It's diorama time (the kit has a sidewalk), but I did get some signs on the building and I found some Krystal Klear that had not solidified so I fixed the windows also.

Yes, but my hair is less pointy......

-Hated Gallery Glass

I've found that the gallery glass does best when trying to represent stained glass or something like it.

You mean it's intended use? Why would we want to do that? 

This week:

-Flashed the roof and finished shingling

-Eave trim

-Hated Gallery Glass

And for those of you keeping score, I am a few days late.


This week, I:
- fixed a problem with shingling


- added 1 LED besides the bulb


- attached the roofs and dormers

Weekly update, a day early.


-People added and pictures posted.


-LED project is on hold as I have to wait for new tips for my cordless soldering iron. I have got the knack of soldering the magnet wire down pat, but attaching it to the LED's I need to practice more. I've burned up 3 of the non-Microlumina ones so far.


I'll see you all next year.....waitaminute........

SO, as promised, here's the weekly update:


-Still only 3 people interested in this kit.


-Bottles, boxes and interior detailing complete.


To come this week as time permits:


-Adding people


Lighting using Microlumina products and some not Microlumina products.

We're at 3, folks. Halfway there!

Tom and others:


There is a limited time offer on the table right now. The kit was retired in late 2013 as sales had peaked, but the run of 500 was not completed.


If Shawn. the owner, can get 5 (preferably 10) kits 'ordered', he will un-retire it AND sell it for $99.00, which is $35.00 off the original price.


This offer is only available for forum members-not limited to the kitforums members who are signed in there now, so that means Tom and others who have had problems logging in can order this as well. It will not be found on the Minuteman web site.


If you want to commit to one, let me know and I will pass it on to Shawn.

As I had initiated the build thread 6 years ago, and it got eradicated, I felt it was time to resurrect it. SO, for those of you who have been c&*kblocked over at kitforums for whatever reason, here's the link.

In this thread I will just make a weekly synopsis of what has happened.
