 Here's my 2nd kit build to share with the forum.
Since it was done a while back, it's done in Floquil Solvent based paints.
5 PFM 1.5 volt bulbs were added with Campbell Lampshades over the doorways.
The roof sections are removable . Behind the fright house is the rear of the # 70 Flagstop Station that was posted yesterday.

As per your request here is the big version of your picture from the gallery.  All I did was display the picture in the gallery.  Copied the code in the BB code box and pasted it below.

Jeff,
Thanks for the positive remarks.
All the castings did receive a very light wash of Floquil Solvent Grimmy Black thinned with Dio-Sol.
That was done in the garage, not in the basement.
John just helped me out by enlarging the photo tonight that I posted.

Welcome to the forum, Tom.  Great warehouse build.   And you say this is only your 2nd kit build?  You have a bright future in craftsman builds.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the positive comments on the 2 builds !
Both FSM structures were build 30 years ago and have held up well after being moved 1000 miles twice.
More photos coming soon to share with the Forum.

Tom, I like the balance of the details and the colours.

Martin,
Thank You for the comment !
The photos are all taken with a very old digital camera and sometimes I have to take 10 different pics to get 2 good ones.

Hi Tom:

Like that one too. Lots of nice detail. What would we do without all those FSM castings.

Karl,
THANKS for that positive remark !
What would we do without George's castings. Amazing what $36.95 would buy back then.
