Drilled a hole in the wall for the opposite end. Used ACC here, and a few dabs of wood glue where the end of the sign butts-up against the wall.

Almost ready for their tomato bisque and a Cuban sandwich.

By the way, when I find a sign I like on the interwebs I'll print several versions of different sizes...saves a lot of back-and-forth to the printer to get the size right.

Thanks much, Tom. I'm hoping I'm (slowly) learning from you masters.

Very nice work. I like the color of the wall and the «tavern sign»
But, excuses my arrogance, there is a little detail that bothers me. It seems that the windows is mounted in the wrong side. Let me explain, it seems that the lower part of the window is outside the chassis while in the case of a window guillotine, it should be inside.

Good eye, Eric! After I realized my -oops- on the first few I figured I'd better keep them consistent. 🤮

Dave, Very nice. The coloring and contrast is excellent. Man, Eric has some good peepers.

This was sn enjoyable build, and Kenny has put out another great kit. I'll be building a couple more since friends in Michigan want one. I'll be more careful with the corner seams, not get so sloppy with the tar, and put the windows in right from the start. 🤣
