Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I really appreciate it.

I built O'Neills a few years ago it's also a really great kit. Lots of fun and loaded with details.

I'm a huge fan of SierraWest kits. I think Brett is making some of the best kits out there right now. The castings, the fitment of all the parts and the overall research and design of the kit really make a great model when everything is done. Minimal frustration too even when working with very small complicated sub-assemblies.

Thanks for sharing, Steve.  Fantastic modeling.  I also like the style that you have modeled, looks well used and weathered, but not decrepit, just like a working foundry would be.  Also just enough, but not too much clutter, so workers are able to get around without falling flat on their face every second step.  Your craftsmanship is stunning, and I will bookmark this thread for when I get around to build my copy (too much real work and not enough modeling).

How about a few well placed figures to bring it to life?

I think all the superlatives that I would add have been used.  I'm gobsmacked!

Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback. I'll definitely be adding some figures and vehicles once I install it on the layout.

Beautiful work Steve!  It really has the look & feel of an old foundry that's still in use.  Thanks for sharing the pics!

Hello Steve, you did your usual great job with the kit. Those Sierra West kits are on another level from all the others. This one will look great when it is placed on your layout with all of the other excellent structures you have built.   Jeff
