FSM Garage # 130 - in memory of my brother.

Karl,
THANKS for another compliment today.
Karl , YOU are one of the best structure builders on the forums and I enjoy all your builds !
Been away from the forum for a while, my spouse decided that I should paint the clapboard house depot olive with boxcar red trim. And while I'm working outside this month, stain the cedar wood on the 3 peaks a light brown color and paint the garage door depot buff too. She took the Floquil paint chart to the hardware store to match the paint colors.

Mark,
THANKS for the positive comment on the garage.
Looking forward to more updates on your Fault Line - the layout build too. Your scenery and structures are neat.

Did you get a gallon of driftwood while at the paint of store?

Cool build on a classic FSM kit. I believe this one came without a roof.

Jaime,
Now that's an excellent response from a great manager. This garage kit came without a roof, but my house needs the shingles replaced by year end. Maybe I can send Sandy out for the Driftwood stain, if I change over to cedar shingles on my home roof ?

Bob,
THANK YOU very much for your comment. Let's keep the air on high to build something and stay inside to play with the trains. It was even 92 to 98 degrees and really muggy outdoors in NE Minnesota today ! Check back again, more photos of other builds coming soon.

Hope you enjoyed many fond memories of your brother during the construction.

Thanks for that comment and I do miss him a lot....
The airplane photos of the annual fly in at Oshkosh Wisconsin posted by Dr. Jeff in the last month bring back a lot of memories of my brother. He attended that show every year. Jerry had a bright yellow home built piper cub that he built on and off over a 7 year period and that project was started in his garage ! Jerry finished his project and flew it out of the Joliet, Illinois airport.

Hi Tom:

Great job on Jerry's and also a great tribute. I always liked that kit. It's simple with lots of great detail.
