Hi Bob:

looking good so far. I have one of those around somewhere. It's a lot of work. Lots of pieces to assemble.

Have fun:

Karl

Thanks for checking in Karl.  I figured you'd have built this one.   :D

Good start, Bob. I thought I built this kit just few days ago but it turns out I did it back in 2011. You may want to check the height of all wall sections. It may not be the same and it is much easier to adjust early on.
I am in the process of moving and few days ago I found two trays. I couldn't remember what was the reason I got them for in the first place. After checking your thread I am guessing I bought them for holding all the detail parts  :).

Bob, I'm following like a star-struck puppy.  I plan on learning a whole bunch from the master.

Hey Donato.....go a little easier on the "Master" stuff. If Bob's head gets to big, he won't be able to get in the door to Tom's shed to deliver all those great builds.  ;D ;D ;D

Okay, for those wondering what the joke is (including Tom  ;) ) when were at Tom's place on Saturday Greg picked up the vest Tom hangs on one of the chairs in is train room and tried it on.  Being retired law enforcement you can guess what type of vest it is.  When Greg tried on the vest I inquired as to whether anyone had a pistol handy so we could try it out to see if worked.  Several people jumped a the chance to offer me one.   ;D  ;D  ;D

Thanks for bringing that up that story again Bob.....I'm still having nightmares about all the people who offered you shotguns, buffalo rifles, AK47's, bazookas, shoulder fired ground to ground missiles and even an Abrams tank.  :o

Don't feel too bad Greg.  The Judge didn't offer anything.  However that may have been because he was too busy laughing.   ;D

Greg,

We're always willing to help. Next time you come over please feel to slip on the body armour. It's Kevlar reinforced on the back just in case we turn you around! 8) 8) 8)
