WoW! Jerry, this was worth the wait!
Nice coloring and I like the bottom boards too.

Rich

Marty,

Incredible shop and modeling.
Would like to see the how-to!

Rich

Philip,

As others before me have said, very nice work on the walls, and roof structure.
I think Roger may have used too many trusses too, but am wondering with 22, he might
have considered that many due to people lifting off the roof to see the interior details.
I think at least eight with the gable ends included would work just fine. I also believe whatever
number you decide to use would be sufficient for stability.

Rich

Good news Dave. Hope you recover soon.

Rich

WoW ! Phillip. Your framing wants me to make something, soon!
Excellent work.

Rich

Philip,

I agree with the other folks here, about the framing, it's excellent!
My wife makes hand made cards, and has used parchment paper. Glue doesn't stick to it.
And I don't think your wood would slide around on its surface. Try it to see what
you think. I have yet to try it myself, so go lightly with it if you do.
A great mock-up would have been to use the paper plans, glued together.. 
rather than taking the time to construct all of that nice wood framing. ha!

Rich

This is a joy to view with all of the incorporated structures and well-constructed scenery.
I am lost for words after viewing all of your progressive photos and it's marvelous atmosphere
is an inspiration for me. I once stated that I would attempt a scratchbuild of the main structure
and it is still on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

Work on the dining table.
Use a cutting may to protect it.
You're only using glue.

Marty,

Have you seen his dining table?? With a white rug below it? 
Diane would never allow that to happen, just sayin... heck,
I could get into trouble easier than Jerry, just by thinking it.

Rich

Marty,

Ingenious using a switch machine to raise and lower the spout.
Why didn't I think of that? Probably because I don't have any switch machines.

Rich

Wow ! Curt.  Is this one of those "several nighter", kits? LOL

Rich

Tom,

As always, your builds are full of real time solutions. It has always been
a joy to follow your threads. I looked a few pages back and saw cutting, fitting,
odd angles, all of which required engineering, and you accomplished each one perfectly.

Rich

Dave,

Good luck with the rehab and I'm glad you made it through the surgery.
Still in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

Rich

Phillip,
Just Google "Brass Black", that's what I use, works great!

Rich

Hey there Phillip, It ... looks swell ! 

Rich

Great work, Boss!
