Hi Candy:

Its coming along quite nicely. Keep the photos coming.

I attached the turret to the walls yesterday. I was very careful to make sure the walls were held vertical and plumb as there was very little support on that end of the structure.

Candy, here's the original msg with Raymo's thought, which he posted on 9/12 in the Baggage Car. It just took off from there.

"...Good Morning forumite's. At the Narrow Gauge Convention, I had conversations with Jimmy and Jaime about doing a "Build Thread Challenge" to try and get some build threads on the forum for people to use for reference. Jaime's only concern would it would fall flat like his Tyco building challenge a couple years ago. Here's what I'm thinking, Build anything, just do a build thread, that's the challenge. No judging, no prizes, just helping other people providing them with a reference for their builds. It can be anything from a Bar Mills Basic to a Fine Scale kit. We would start Oct. 1st and the challenge would go to the end of January. My first thought was New Years but my thinking is December is a blur for most of us with the holidays so modeling takes a step back. Let me know if you think it will work, Raymo..."

There is also a thread in the Forum Contest section.

I guess I'm in the challenge

Well I hope to have time to work on my theater tomorrow ( Friday ). I'll have more pictures to show.

The build is looking good Candy.

Stay cool and run steam.......

[Candy]

Well the turret is done. I don't like doing roofing paper. I think I did a fair job on the turret so now on to the other roofs.

Great job so far Candy, you're building a nice place to entertain us.

I'm trying a new sign. Not sure if I like it

[Janbouli]

I like the photo Candy , but I don't think it works as a sign as well as the other on , maybe because of the gray background.

[jimmillho]

I agree with Jan.  The background color is too dark to go with the Building colors.

Jim

[Candy]

Yes, I don't think it works either.  Something more colorful, I think

[S&S RR]

Brighter and more yummy.  Maybe too Marilyn 

That should get their attention!

[jimmillho]

Much better for a Burlesque Theater, but it is a little too much classic Marilyn
