Hi All:

made a little progress. 1 1/2 of the rood is shingled and the roof shed walls are assembled.

What a fantastic build Karl! I am amazed at how fast you work. Swakhammer's is sitting on my bench but I've got some projects ahead of it. I appreciate your postings as I will refer to them when I start my build!

Karl,

Just now read through this thread for the 1st time, very impressive work. I've seen more of your work on here and the RR-Line forum. Your color selections always come out looking great.

This may be heresy here, but I am not a big fan of most of the FSM kits. I do, however, think George is a fantastic engineer in how he desighns the kits, and a brilliant artist.

My impression is that you are right up there with him.

Hi Jim:

Thanks for the compliment. Very much appreciated.

George and I are very good friends. We talk almost every day. We have been talking and I have visited the F&SM many times and its always a treat. Going this year for the 2nd time in July. George has taught me most of what I know about model building including colors, what combinations and how to use them.  I still ask questions. You can always learn something new.

Anyway as I said thanks for you compliments and comments.

Hi All:

Have been doing a little work. Assemble the walls for building C on the left end. Now I have to shingle all the roofs and add lots of rafter tails and details.

Looking good Karl. This is one of my favorite structures. I was torn between this and Cartwrights Machine Shop for my layout.

Hi All:

Stone Building and Building B Are finished. Not glued down yet but are about in the right place on the base.  I may glue them down shortly.

Here's a few photos.

Would anyone else pay to see Karl and George Sellios in a race to see who could build a kit the fastest?
