Good Morning Tom,

I have been working on the porch railings the past few days. Yes, I said a few days. Those little puppies are not easy or fun. The good news is that I am almost done with them. Just a few minor features to add to the building and it will be done. Phew. Of course, I mean the building will be done, NOT the scenery that surrounds it. That's another couple of days - right. I am entering the building as a structure only, no scenery. We will see how this turns out. Thanks for the heads up on how to make the roofing tar. It really worked well and looks great.

Jeff,

Thanks for your kind words. The attached photo is the model 99% complete. WHEW. A couple of other minor details and a little more weathering and this puppy is done. Thanks again for all your help.

Dustin,

Thank you for your kind words. Still a lot of minor issues to be corrected and installed. I just don't where they are coming from, but they will be finished real soon.

Thanks Donato. This building has been a challenge, but it gets closer to being finished every day. Here is another of the rear view of structure.

Frank, it just keeps getting better with every detail that you add.

What an incredible structure.  Great work, Frank.  Good luck at the contest, but I think you've made your own luck with this one and will do well.

Mark,

Thank you for your kind words. Here is another pic of the front entry of the building. you will see only one screen door, as per the actual building. The screen material is 140 x 140 lines per inch. Actually silk screen material that is tinted. I continue to add small details that I see in the photographs that Dan Raymond sent me. I will continue to post pics of added details as they are completed.

Good Morning Jeff,

Glad you enjoy the build. As I mentioned to Mark, I continue to add details, both existing and what I want in the scene. The building goes into the contest room in little over a week. The paperwork is well underway. While the model might look good, you really have to concentrate on the written description of what, how, etc.. you did to build the model. After the regional convention, I can then work on the actual scene that the model will reside. The base is done, well almost. It's pink, period. So it is basically a clean slate to work with. I really enjoy the scenic part of the build as well.

Here is another pic of the back of the building. I have added a circus poster and garbage cans to the structure. I will probably find more "stuff" to add over the next week.

Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy your weekend.
