Hello all,

I started this build on the other side! I'm moving it over here to finish this summer. I've invited those following me over there to join me here. I believe most of those folks are already here.

I need to refomat the photos for this forum thread prior to getting started.

Tom

This must be something new on the forum.

I'M ANSWERING MY OWN POST!

Well, ya'll, this summer was  four years ago. I'm back on it now but need to review the plans and what I've done in the past.

I'd like to finish this unfinished kit by this summer, four years late. I'm keeping all fingers crossed.

My how time flies.

Donato,

Which way did I go? Which way am I going? I couldn't find the "where am I" or the "You are here" direction.

I was rereading the instructions for DeGraw's and getting the feel of where I left off. Progress folks, progress.

I thought I'd share some old facts about the kit.

Doug was inspired to do this kit from a poultry market in Brooklyn. According to Doug, this was his first scratch building.

This is kit #80, a Limited Run of 350 and released in 2006 at the cost of $125.00. So, now ya'll know the history.


This is where I left off. All the walls are painted. I'll add the signs and then nail holes. I'll weather the walls after the signs are added.




I made copies of the signs to use on the walls. I keep original signs in a file. No need to use the original sign when they are going to be all weathered and such.

Original on the left and copies on the right.

Hi Tom:

Wow somebody else who save the original signs. I see you are using the paint scheme I used when I built the first kit for Doug.

Karl,

Yes, I like saving the original signs if possible. Some just don't make sense to save but I do it about 90% of the time.

I really like the colors you used and they just look like they belong on such a structure.

Thanks for chicking, er, checking in.

Tom
