I was the lucky recipient of this fantastic build.  And yes, I was more than surprised when Loren presented it to me.  It will find a nice home on my layout!

Hi Loren:

Very well done.  Colors are great and I like the roof shingles.

9 Fingers Loren,

Advice on the scratch building the FSM signal tower that appears to copy (again) one that George did a million times with that crap poor weathering and glazed over windows because you're too lazy to build an interior with wrong colored bricks, crooked cut wood pieces that only could amount to be used in a campfire and don't get me started on that ridiculous roof.

Would be monumental advice not to listen to in any way for the reason your modeling skills are second to none.  Scratch building talent is something we all strive for, but you've obviously have mastered and made look easy.  George would be proud to know his influence still inspires to graduate with honors, modeling students who actually get it.

9 FL,  what a treat to see, can't wait to see this installed in a completed scene whether on a diorama or a layout.  Thanks for sharing Mandinga!  Thanx Thom...

Karl,
Thanks so much. The shingles are WildWest models that I had left over from a previous project.
