I have never heard of the F&SM Tribute Kit. Is that a commercially available product?

Howdy All,
Just a small update today. The cold weather, along with the prior injury slowed me down, but I am getting back up to speed. Yesterday I worked on replicating some of the pipe castings, and I have been working on the windows, and wall details. Still have some more to do on the details, and weathering. Thanks for taking a look...

It's good to see you back in action.

John,
Thanks.....by the way, the station kit #235 was good except for one missing coal shovel on your end, and you have an extra roof bracket.

For those that are wondering - Loren and I are comparing the casting inventory from some of the FSM kits we bought off from eBay.  We just discovered that I was missing 9 machine tool casting from my G. Wiliker's kit. Loren was missing some castings from his Tannery kit.  I have never had anything missing from the kits I bought directly from George.

John, That is because George was not a thief.

Nice Loren. I really like the wall color.

John,
Thanks...it was difficult to find a blue that was not overpowering. I really never cared for the blue, but I wanted to be true to Georges build.

I finally seem to have made some progress. I managed to get the main building walls put together. I still have weathering to do, and the roof, and some details. I also got the dye tanks together for the most part, just need to weather the roof, and put some weathering around the interior. Thanks for taking a look...

Very nice modeling Loren. Are those individual bands you put on the tanks?

[fsmcollector67]

Curt,
Thanks for the compliment. The bands are good old brown thread, with some rust applied...I could have done the bands a little better (guess I am getting lazy).

Loren,

It looks perfect and I can't seem to find anything more to add to the other wonderful comments on you build.

It looks just wonderful. Oh, I love the tanks.
