FOS The Wacther Apartments

This came up really nicely, Bob.

Its packed with interest like the smattering of TV aerials sticking out of the roof.  I think the florist's wire is a definite improvement to the clothes line.  I wonder whether adding some white glue to the clothes and crinkling them up a bit might help take some of the flatness away?  I also wondered whether laminating two items of clothing together and adding a thin lead weight between might provide enough weight to create a realistic sag on line made from embroidery thread?  Just really thinking about thigs to try when making my own clothes line.  It does sound like a lot of work...

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark!  Interesting ideas for the cloths line.  Maybe cloths made out of the heavy foil found on the top of a wine bottle would provide enough weight to make the embroidery thread sag and they could be bent a little so they aren't so flat.  I'm not sure where I'll be using this one but all four sides have features of interest so if it's not visible from all angles something will have to be hidden from view.

Wow , that is one awesome building , and of course thank you for the great build thread.

Thank you Jan and you're welcome!  This one was a lot of fun to build in spite of some minor challenges here and there.  It sure has a lot of really interesting features.

Thank you Craig!     I agree, Doug really created an interesting structure.  So many neat details to look at regardless of the angle you view it from.  I sure hope I can find some place to use it some day.

Love the way this kit is turning out.  Didn't realize some of the finer points of the kits design.  May have to get one of these some day.  Keep up the good work.

Thank you your Honor!  I'll see what I can do about getting a few night shots and adding them to the thread.   

P.S. - I hope the recovery is coming along smoothly and we'll get to connect in person soon.

Much appreciated Karl!  The wash line was a bit of a challenge but in the end it was worth it.  Great kit from Doug.
