Thank you John,  when are you planing on starting you upcoming harbor?  I know your modeling skills are up there with the best of them, and I'm sure it will be awesome with your talent.

I have two more areas on the layout to finish before I will get to it. So - who knows a year or so???  I never know how long an area will take until it's done. Retirement means no time pressure - been there done that.  I was just out on the West Coast taking some prototype pictures so it's already in the design stage.

  I'll be looking forward to that  John.   Did you get any prototype pictures?  If so, can you post them somewhere.  They would be interesting.

Good afternoon all,
      Well it rained all day here today and I pretty much stayed at the work bench, working on the third dock and it's almost done.  I just stuck it in place to check for fit, and it fits pretty good. so now I'll pull it out again to finish it up back at the work bench. Still needs the outer pilings and the edge boards and of course a lot of detail.


I'll have to look for a kit to bulid, to put on the land form behind this dock.
  Have a good one

Looking really great, Sam!

I've been really enjoying watching your progress on this thread.  Just thinking a little on your spot for another kit - perhaps you could take advantage of the two different building platform heights and kit-bash something 'into' the slope?  There are plenty of kits to draw inspiration from - many South River Modelworks kits, some Foscale ones and Master Creations Coachworks come to mind.  Just an idea - I'm sure whatever you choose to place there will look great.

Cheers, Mark.

Thank you Mark,
       I have a few kits in mind, but so far I'm leaning more to Bar Mills   Tylic tool Co.  The foot print seems to be a good fit, but I'm still looking for more options.

If I go with this one I'll have to change the name to something like;   Tylick's Sardine Co.  or something to that affect. I'd like to keep Mike Tylick's name on it some how.

Good morning all,
  well I started Tylicks Tool Co.  I'm a messy builder so I'll have to see how this comes out before I decide if I'll use it on the dock yet. I'll post a picture of it when done.

I can't wait to get to Springfield. I need so much stuff so I can get going on the new harbor.
  Have a great day

Good morning all
   well I finished the Bar Mills kit. I didn't put any signs on it yet because I'm not sure if I will use it on the new harbor yet. I have to find the right signs for it to transform it into a water front stricture.   I'm just getting ready to go to Springfield.

Looking at this structure from Bar Mills , I do have to say that a lot of the parts are the same as in the Mooneys I'm building at the moment. Loading docks , doors , chimneys, have to watch out not to place Bar Mills kits too close to each other if you have more then one.

Very nice Sam...I'm looking forward to seeing the harbor scene on the EXPO tour. I really like the coloring & weathering and it's a great kit.

Nice job on the Tylick's structure.
