Thanks Tom and Larry.

I dunno Jerry.
Me thinks this is a laser cut kit...
Looking forward to more even if you're cheating.

LOL!  My wife and I got hitched on the Bridge of the Enterprise at the Star Trek Casino when it was running.  Second choice was Elvis at the Chapel o' Love!

Make it so!

Curt,

Your build is looking good. That front wall is nice with the added knots and coloring.
I saw a note by Brett that mentioned the decals in older kits like Blue Sky and the Backwoods Work Train
are so old that they shouldn't be used. I received a tip from modeler Carl Alessi on the old Railroad Line Forms,
that he said to buy some lettering decals from I think Woodland Scenics. I think the one's I purchased were Roman ones.
I will have to look for my packet.

Tom,

Your threads leave nothing out. With all of the excellent pictures explaining each step as you go forward,
it's like a college course in model construction. And not to forget I am impressed with your skills.
The tower is looking great and a nice addition to an already nice siding on your layout. It fits in
perfectly in that location. Paint and roofing coloring blend in well with the other structures.

Hey ... Jerry.. do you remember me??.. It's like I just awoke from a long winters' nap!
Your thread is the first one I read from start to finish, I had to come on board for some well-needed inspiration.
And what a joy it is to see your fabulous framing work again! There' not one piece of fuzzy wood sticking out, nor
one framing stud or fire break out of sync with the rest. And the coloring is spot on!
Are the kits going to be in HO and O scale??  Can't wait to get one...

Rich

The roof and rafter tails came up nicely, Tom.

Cheers, Mark.
