Carolina Craftsman Kits - Aunt Ruth's House

[ReadingBob]

I just got to see this building up close on Bills' Pennsey layout. Great job Bob, I love the detail, especially the porches and crawl space lattice covering.
 
Very nice kit from el Groovey and great build by Butts!
 
By the way, I also saw the first wood structure build by Bill. He did a very nice job with the structure and added some great weathering also.
 
So Bill, now that you have Irfanview and can size the photos, how about sharing a few pictures of your first build with the rest of the gang? Hop in, the waters fine.....! 

Thanks Greg!  We had a great time visiting Bill and Kris's place with you and Pegi Saturday.  Groovy has some really nice structures.  I'm glad this one found a good home.

Bob,

It was a very nice gesture to give Aunt Ruth's House to Kris and Bill for their Pennsy layout! I'm not sure; however, that her relatives appreciate you giving it away! Ha!

Let me say this about this build and all the others you have done and unselfishly given and built for others!

I'M JUST DAMN HAPPY YOU LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

Thanks Tom.  I'm very happy to have stumbled across a bunch of great folks down here that share the same interests I do.  I find it's more fun to build them when they can be displayed on a nice layout.

Hi Bob:

Great build. very nicely done.

Karl

Thanks Karl!  Very much appreciated.

I'm back to work painting the castings for Fox Run Milling.  That'll take some time.  I can blame that on George though.  I always sit there and stare at the detail in each casting for a while before I start painting it.  They're amazing.

I recently purchased a jewelers magnifying glass (20x) and I spent an hour or so looking at George's castings. As you said, the castings are amazing. And, he makes the molds by hand and that requires some real skill. I also found out that one of my Ebay purchases from years ago doesn't have original FSM castings.  The difference was very obvious at 20x.
