Frank,

Fantastic modeling! Second to none.

Tom,

Thank you for your kind words. Progress is being made, slowly but surely. Lots of little details that really take an inordinate amount of time to complete. Taking a brief break from the structure and doing some work on the layout. I'll be back on the building tomorrow. Stay tuned. Thanks buddy.

Tom and others,

Here is my daily update of East End Market. All the brick foundation is installed. The garage door is being laser cut. The door functioned as a big door for supplies. No vehicle could drive into the opening. It probably served as a door for the meat market business. A loading dock will be constructed in front of the door and will continue around to the side door. Windows were added to the garage end of the structure. The upper porch roof was added and a roof for the center structure was cut, installed and ready for rolled roofing. I also painted the base. Next will be the roof over the building on the left.

Tomorrow will be a NMRA PSR convention meeting and my work on this structure will be a lot less.  Enjoy the pic. more later.

Frank, its really looking great. It is definitely a building with lots of character. You are doing an excellent job.

Frank, the foundation looks great. Have you figured how you'll do the concrete part?

Ken,
Thanks for following along. Glad you are enjoying the build. Pretty intense. Lots of little details which is fun to figure out how to build. The front porch and front entry are going to be a real challenge because of all the small detail. that will probably one of the last things I do. don't want to break anything. more pics to follow. thanks again for your kind words.

Good Morning Dustin,

thank for stopping by and glad you are enjoying the build. Yes, the building has a lot of character and there is so much more to add.Once you see the front porches, you will see what I mean. Lots of lacy detail. I'm a little nervous about this area. Stay tuned, more pics later.

Good Morning Raymo,

I hope you mean the small concrete basement ? on the back of the building. I found this part in my parts box. It appears that it came from a SRMW kit and I did not use it. I think that there is also a concrete area around the garage door? I put a brick foundation under most of the garage. Is that correct? Let me know. That would be easy to change. Really appreciate all your help.

Good Evening All,

Progress today included the front roof and the roof peak over the main front entry. While that may seem rather simple, the underside of the roof has scribed lumber and corner edges on all the ends. Getting the main front entry peak is always a challenge. I have experimented with the aluminum material taht will be the top roofing material. northeastern makes a very nice heavy duty raised seam material.

The roof over the center section was cut and will be installed I finish the upper end of the left side structure. All the balconies have been installed. The footing on the garage initially was made of brick, but Raymo let me know that it is really concrete. So-o-o, that was changed. There is also a little funny step on the outside of the first side door. that was added and will be finished upon installation of the garage door.

I have decided to use Monster Modelworks lasercut brick for the chimneys.  I've had to order additional material because I thought I had enough, but no such luck.

Progress is continually being made, maybe as fast as I would like. Enjoy the pic.

Frank's gonna send me his drawings of this building, and I will put together a bit of a simpler version kit of it.....if anyone is interested, please PM me and let me know.....it will include everything to get the build complete, but NO instructions, bracing templates, signage....cost for this version will be about $150.   If there is enough interest, I'll put them into production....

If you do this, think about making sure that someone could build just the main portion, deleting one or both (left side) additions.  That would make for a building that would fit much more easily into a smaller space.
