Build Challenge 2016: Bar Mills Dock House at Cundy Harbor

[ReadingBob]

Bob,

Excellent build, excellent tutorial, excellent narration, excellent work! Did I mention this was excellent/

Last one on Cundy Harbor, right? After your break, I have 150+ unbuilt kits for you to pick through.


Just saying and all that comes with it.


Tom

Thanks Tom!  Last one and it's almost finished.  A few more shutters to install and a couple of details on the roof and it'll be wrapped up.

Hi Bob, sorry I just this, was on travel for work.
There are fixed parts for this, not sure why you don't have them unless this was one of the very first kits sold...contact Art and they'll send you out the correct parts. Sorry for the boo boo's

No worries Jim.  I worked around the issues.  Good to let others know that they've been addressed though.  I think it's coming out pretty well.  I'm building the Cundy Harbor set for John (Cuse) who was really only interested in the Dock House and Boat House.  The Midcoast Whale Oil Company may just end up sitting on a shelf but the kit was on my workbench so I figured I might as well build it.

Hi Bob:

Looks great so far. I will be following along.

Thanks Karl.  As always, your comments are appreciated.

Bob,

It looks great! I will use your thread as a reference when building mine.

I use Goo Gone to clean the scissors and for removing the sticky glue residue that store labels leave.

As for the carboard like material that Bar Mills is using, I think it is the Taskboard. It has some applications, like sidewalks or perhaps the stucco, but I am really not sure as to why Bar Mills is using it in applications where mat board would be a better choice. The worst is the brick. While building Cundy Cannery, I applied diluted white glue and primed and still had the little bricks falling off every time I touched them. The next time I encounter it I intend to try Minwax Wood Hardener.

Thanks Vilius and Ed!  Here's a few pictures of the finished Midcoast Whale Oil Company. 







This one is the one John didn't plan on using but I built it anyway.

If John (cuse) can't use it, I can put a magnifying glass in front of it for my layout, just saying

Thanks for all the kind comments!  I really appreciate them.

These are off my workbench and in John's possession.  I'm almost finished another build that I haven't started a thread on yet but will soon.
