Thanks so very much Curt.  The interior should arrive this week.  Once that's in, it will allow me to fix the sidewalk, and add a few exterior details.  Mark

Thanks Jerry.  I'll post some final pictures after I finish the interior, and attach the sidewalks and a few details.

Thanks Jeff.  I'm moving on to SRMW's Millet Creamery.  I'm in the mood for a bigger build.  Mark

What a coincidence, Modeler's Workbench on YouTube, posted his build of this kit today.  Didn't watch it all, but he did find this kit challenging, and it's not for a first timer.  He had some of the same issues I did. He used the same paint that I used for the corner pieces.  He also made some mistakes along the way, so it's very informative of what to avoid doing.  I don't mean that in a bad way, we all make mistakes. Anyway, it's a nice reference if purchasing and building the kit.  Mark

Hello Mark, you did a wonderful job with this kit and thanks for the narrative. If I get this kit your tips will help a lot.

Mark,

Beautiful model and the weathering in very realistic.

I also agree with Greg in that lighting will really bring it to the next level. Well, looks like it is at the top level now. ;D

Mark,

Excellent build, and another one I missed lately.

Once again, many thanks to Jeff, Greg, Tom and Rich.  I know, I know, it should be lighted.  Maybe I'll add some.  I just received the interior pieces I intend to install.  Have to prime and paint them.  The structure is still loose from the flooring/sidewalk base and available for detailing inside and out. 

I've moved on to South River Model Works Millet Creamery.  I don't have the instructions, but after looking it over, I really don't need them.  I have plenty of photo references, all the sheets/cards, and they carry enough info to get me through the build.  The kit is made mostly of hydrocal castings, covering four buildings.  Very few wood portions.  I've built up the four buildings and have coated them with clear flat before staining them.  I'll finish the main building first then work my way out.  This will be my sixth SRMW kit build.

Thanks again gentlemen, and happy modeling.  Mark
