Howdy All,
Back here in my favorite Forum. Jumped over to Kit building for one, but back Home again. So I thought I would have some fun with all of you fellow Modelers. I had a few extra hours yesterday, and some left over clapboard, and decided to do a scratch build copy of a kit. I have this kit in my collection, and was able to measure the pieces.
  So lets see how long it will take one of you to identify the Mystery building. Some hints are that it was released in the 80's, and Frankly it was a kit that I had purchased when I was 12 yrs old, but sadly traded to another kid for some baseball cards. All these years later I have another one....
  Let the Guessing begin.........

Bob C,
Glad to have you aboard, might take me a little while, as I have to get some small windows, which I forgot I used on the last build....but the structure itself I will be able to put together.

Hah! I changed the name after Jeff guessed it. Would not have been to hard if I had named the Thread Crocker Bro.......
Thanks for following along...

Hello All,
So, Due to the holiday I was not able to get bracing wood, as the hobby shop was closed. I decided to make some doors instead. The doors all use the Folkart driftwood stain, that I mentioned in the FOS carter supply build. You paint it on, and wipe it off. The freight doors came out okay, the four panel is nice. The extreme close ups do not do them justice due to the fuzz. I did not want to rub them down, and take finish off. You cannot see the fuzz by the eye anyways. The last photo is of what I am going with for the walls. This is a Craftsmart gel stain, called barnwood gray. just as the other you brush on, let sit for 30 sec, and wipe off. this has two coats applied, with a very light ink wash in between. Thanks for stopping by....

Hey All,
Nothing too exciting today, worked on getting the siding grained last night. Thought I would be smart, and start with a new wire wheel, what a mistake. took off a lot of wood, so had to revert back to the one that I had previously used for hand graining. Also, have been working on scratching a cyclone.....thanks for taking a look..
