Hi Frank:

Nope not yet. Been doing research and scrounging parts for the extra add ons. Waiting for chain from George. We've been on the phone and he's been doing measurements on the add on stuff for me. My side wall with tall door was in two pieces. The Door Spacer at the bottom of the wall helped greatly in its repair. On my way to Michaels to buy more stuff.

Here's some photos of the icing platform on my layout.
Hope they are of some help.

I followed the kit instructions when it came to painting.

It's a fun build.

If you look closely I tried to replicate the figures and details as per the photos that came with the kit.

Cheers
Bagman
