I was about to say these were two of my favorite FSM kits to build but then I realized they've all been my favorites.

The tower is looking good John!

Thank you for the kind words. I know what you mean about the FSM kits - it is very hard to pick a favorite.

Yesterday, I glued the roof card together and install more windows on this project. Next step, shingles and trim paint for the roof. I need to do a lighting test with the LED's to see how visible the interior detail will be with the roof on.

More progress on this build, today. A few progress pictures of the shingle and roof installation. I glued strip wood blocks to the underside of the roof to locate it on the main structure so it can be removed to show of the interior detail.

Some touchup painting, weathering on the roof, three more windows, and the cap for the chimney and this one will be ready to be mounted to the base and installed on the layout.

I will be adding some outside details once the structure is located on the layout.

Splendid John, and I really like the way the darker windows turned out , I'm always afraid of painting them a dark color but I'll have to try it sometime soon .

Nice color combination.
