More molds and more shingles today.  Dormers are a lot of work. :P  Just a progress picture for tonight.

John,

The building looks awesome, the shingles, dormers and stonework.  I also have used Wild West shingles and I also like them very much.

John,


I'm pretty much speechless, just "WOW!".  I love how every part compliments the next; colors, shingles, beautiful modeling.

Thank you for the inspiring words.  I'm looking forward to seeing this build on the layout. I'm getting ready to restock my Wild West Shingle supply and I have my eye on his new stamp mill.

Thank you for the kind words. Wayne Olson spent a couple hours with me one Saturday a couple months ago picking out shingles and paint colors for this build. It gives it a little different look.

Over the weekend, I finished the detailing on the Main Structure of Threadwells (the detailing that is left to do will be done with the structure glued to the baseboard) and decided to do one more test fit of both builds on the diorama base. Here are  a couple status photographs.

Great scene, John. The whole thing fits together so nicely -- building architecture, terrain, colors. Looking forward to seeing it all in person sometime.
