I really liked the show and tell with the popsicle sticks. The kahki to me is surprising as my eyes see a lot of grey in it. The structure is going to look incredible built and in that location. I look forward to seeing your progress as you proceed.

Thanks for stopping by the thread - I'm trying to remember to take pictures along the way with these builds and the color choices are always tough for me. I go through a lot of popsicle sticks. ;)

Hey, I really like those trees.

Hi Jim


Thanks for stopping by the thread. I think the new trees are really going to complement the ones I already have.

Thanks Greg - as soon as I finish these two builds I'm going to finish this section of the layout.  It's about 8 x 12 feet - I want to have a section that is finished.  At least as finished as any layout ever is.

I made some progress on painting the castings for my two FSM builds. Primer is on all the castings and I'm starting to mount the ones that need detail painting on popsicle sticks. I will take some pictures when there is more to show.

I  spend most of the day doing assembly work on the Mackenzie Milling build.

Here is one of the details George has on this build the clapboard siding has blown off exposing the underlayment.

I then brought in the survey crew and started the process of deciding the final location for the mill on the layout.

After viewing the model from many different angles. I decided it needed to line up with the railing rather than the Brambell's build behind.

During this process I decided that the build was too high so I decided to lower it by 3/4 of an inch.  So the top layer of the benchwork was removed.
