Excellent.  I'm looking forward to reading about your solution to the misaligned clapboard siding.   

I'm also looking forward to seeing your solution. Prototypical clapboard siding is started at the bottom and added board on board to the top. Any difference in the width of the board would be made up on the top.

John,

Thanks for  checking in. As I mentioned to Bob the solution I came up with is to use paint and not actually do anything to the siding to realign them.

Looking good!  I like your color sample board.  Great way to compare colors, and you can save it for future use to use for comparing contrasting trim or two-color walls as you're doing now.

Mark,

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. I've used the color comparisons on sidings in the past and it does give you a better idea of how the colors match or not.

Hi ACL:

Built this when it was issued. It's a really cool kit with lots of detail. Enjoy your build. I'll be following along.

Yeah, and now that Tom's finally retired maybe we can nudge him in the right direction and get him working on this one again.

I do intend on finishing this build thread but I've been busy working on the railroad. No pun intended.

Yes, I will finish this thread and build but I have just a few other things I need to get to first.

It's really sad to say this kit has been on the back burner for the past two years. I started it just prior to the decision to completely redo the entire layout. I still plan to finish it but I need to finish the bench and track work on the new layout first.

Sorry, just bumping this for now.

Karl,

Thanks for checking in. I loved the start of this kit but decided to change the layout during the build. It's on the back burner and I probably won't be able to get back to it for a least 6+ months. Do you have any pictures of your build.

HI Tom:

Opps I forgot to check with Frank. I will though.
