Bar Mills F&SM Tribute Kit Challenge Build

Is it just me or are there pictures missing from this thread ?
T.C.

It may be your browser, every once in a while I cannot see the pictures in one or more threads unless I switch browsers.  Then, a day or two later, everything works fine.

Mike,

This is coming along nicely, I'm enjoying following along.  Thanks for taking the time to post.

I switched over to Firefox and it doesn't show the missing pictures either ?
I really enjoy Mikes build threads but I cant reconfigure my computer and take a chance of messing it up trying to view the pictures in this thread.
FYI, I have had no problem viewing anything on this site until now, not blaming anyone just thought maybe others had the same problem and there was a fix for it ?
Thanks T.C.

Thanks for your well-wishes. Sorry for the confusion T.C.  There were a couple of photos missing but it is because I deleted them. During my computer meltdown I tried to post some photos with my phone with minimal success. I have resized and reposted since and you aren't missing anything. Actually there is one classic missing and I can't find it anywhere. I'm sure it will turn up someday.


I have the walls together and the roof panels on. Many details to add (rafter tails, vents, stacks, roof trim, etc.)
but everything fits, is square, and perfectly flat, and I am proud of the corners.

Looks fantastic, Mike. That stonework really provides a nice accent to the whole structure.

Cheers,

Beautiful modeling.

Hey Mike:

WOW!!!! Looking just beautiful. Like the colors and light weathering.

Yep!!

Looks great, Mike.

The colours have worked out very nicely, and, as said, the foundation adds a nice bit of interest.

Cheers, Mark.

It's not your computer or browser or the forum. Mike had the pictures tied to a source on his computer, which he lost do to a computer problem.  We all see ? marks where some of the pictures used to be on the first few pages of this thread. The comments that you see are from when the pictures were available.

The build looks great - I'm glad you got your computer working again.

Great Mike! I'm (quietly) enjoying the thread. Beautiful wall coloring and weathering, as always. I'm always learning something...also, kudos to Bar Mills for elevating their larger kits. Always love their offerings and they seem to be raising their own bar lately.

Great build Mike , lots of great detailing tips including the checklists? I have several machinist squares but none that are flat sitting, glad I seen your Zona, just ordered a couple.

Photos will help as I have started building this kit..... Thanks Mike
