My first post as I just found this great forum. Everything I was looking for in one spot.
My name is Mike and I model mostly HO but want to dabble in ON30, just don't have the room!  I have a Woodland Scenics River Pass layout that I changed slightly to my taste. It's about 40% done but is enough to stare at and run. I really enjoy building the current craftsmna kits that are available and my absolute favorite is Fine Scale Miniatures kit. I get one for Christmas each year then build it throughout the year. My latest is George's new Westside Auto. It's a great kit with alot of new lessons. The "stucco" on the main building was quite an experience but one I can now do with some confidence. I am to the point of mounting the buildings and moving forward with ground work. I have expanded the diorama abit by adding a small wrecking yard on the far side. Just have to find the proper small building for it.

Hi Briggs:

Looks like you are off to a great start. what you have done so far is very nicely done.

If you want you can see Frank Bernard's and my build on page 5 under kit building. Look at the final photos on both.

Welcome to the forum, Mike. FSM kits are great. Stucco is a tad tricky. You did a good job on your build.
