Hmm, but can you wiggle your nose?

Personally, I was always partial to the one on the right. She dressed (undressed) better.

Karl,
The colors by spraying came out very good.  I can not help but notice by spraying you are not having to use inside bracing.  How did you tone down the stone footings of the building.  I use A/I & it still does not look right.  Your double doors look like they fit good (no gap). I like the way you applied The Grove Sign.  I did mine per the instructions and the framing does not look right.  I think I will take the framing off & use some 3m tape and apply it to the structure to give it that painted on look.  Keep up the great work.  As always I learn alot from you and some of the other members.

Hi Mike:

Glad you like the colors. The walls are braced inside per the instructions. I just do it after corner trim and freeze boards are applied. I did not do anything to the stone footings. They are paper and I thought they looked fine as they are. I wanted my sign to look painted on. Used 3M tape.  The double doors were a little wide so I had to sand them a little for a good fit. Also I did not cut the wood framing in half. I applied it to the doors as one piece. I think I got everything.

Looking good Karl!  Did you apply a wash to the windows & doors after you spray painted them?  They look really great.

Hi Map:

Yours is the comment I was looking for. Yes windows & doors have an A & I was and I was wondering if they looked ok. I guess they are. Glad you liked them.

Thanks

Hi All:

I hope to finsish the main roofs today. There will be a surprise on the peaks. It is something another modeler taught me years ago and will be a suggestion for Doug to use of future kits. I will send him detailed photos.

Mike - I agree with you about the laser cut windows.  I much prefer to use Tichy because they are easier for me(senior citizen with unsteady fingers).  I will leave them for the more skilled.
Have a great day everyone.  Jim
