John,
I really like the way the church turned out.  Thanks again for all of the pictures and dialogue during the build.  I've used Gatorboard a few times and really like it.  Gator Dave at the Expo always has a few pieces soaking in a jar of water during the event and the stuff never swells or disintegrates, so it must be pretty tough.

Thanks for following along and the kind words. I have seen Gator Dave's demo and agree that it is great for base board applications. I have had no issues with warping and it is becoming my go to material.

John,

I think your church will add a great deal to a mountain scene on your layout with the aspen trees in the background.  Very nice.

Thanks for following the thread and for the kind words.  I'm looking forward to getting the the aspen trees in and locating this church on the layout.  As soon as I get the track work running on the upper level of my layout my attention will be on completing this scene.

Here are a couple shots of my build staged on my layout in a similar setting to where I plan to use it.  I'm not ready to finish the scenery yet in the final area.   I will add pictures to my build thread when the church is finally located on the mountain side and the final detailing is completed.
