FOS' DeGraw's Poultry Market & Gordo's Fried Chicken

[ACL1504]

Outstanding build of a very interesting structure!     Great thread too!  Lot's of interesting tips. 

I can just see the clouds of feathers flying when a certain engineer who shall remain nameless zips by doing his best Casey Jones imitation.   

Bob,

Thank you for the generous comment on the build. Yes, it is a very interesting structure and that is one reason it appealed to me. Doug always comes up with very unusual structures.

Greg has had his turn at the throttle in Tahope. He was behaving until I had to clear my throat when he got a little antsy at the throttle.

You don't mean Greg do you Bob?

Yepper, he does in deed. We all know Greg's need for speed.

Tommy,

Thank you and yes, this is a very neat kit from FOS. I'm now in the mood for some good ole southern fried chicken.

Tom,

As usual, beautiful modeling!  The scene with the escaping chickens is spot on, and draws attention to the wonderful work on the screened doors as well as the faded signage on the structure.  Your build of the shed with its correct bracing, rafters, etc. really makes that building stand out.  IMO, implausible construction detracts from some otherwise outstanding models, and it is IMO all too common.  One of the things that really makes your builds stand out is your attention to these details.

You've got that right.....I'm staying out of Tahope......going that slow gives me the shakes something awful.....

Great addition to Tahope Tom.....great work. 

I assumed all the white stuff near the double doors was feathers and thought the detail looks great. I got to thinking after we talked.....is the white stuff really feathers or is it the other white stuff that chickens leave behind? 

Also could I get an order of fried breasts with a side of cold slaw?

Jerry,

Thank you for the very kind and generous compliment on the build. This is a great kit and unusual looking structure. According to Doug, the prototype looked pretty much as the model.

I try to add the correct construction to the models as is in the 1:1 world if at all possible. I agree that these details do make the models look better. I'm not sure why others don't do the same. Each to his/her own I guess.
