Hi Karl.....I like the stucco exterior finish. It makes a nice change from all the wood and brick exterior treatments that come with most kits.

Hi Greg:

Yeah I like how the stucco came out also. It's nice and to scale. It's the first time I've used George's Stucco method. 1 tsp. Water putty, 1/4 tsp. Elmers Glue And 1/4 tsp of water. I used 1/2 tsp of water for a more creamy mix.

Really nice Frank.  You too Karl.  Both builds look terrific.  Thanks for sharing!

Is the staircase a casting? I really like this kit offering, reminds me of the old FSM kits. I am waiting patiently for mine to come, will be my first stucco try....
