Roof looks good, Karl.  Nice aging with the white/gray.

Great looking roofing, Karl...one thought.. per the instruction sheet the skylites sit down directly on the roof material...prototypically, the skylights would probably sit on an 8" +/- curb...keep the pix and narrative coming

Great build.  Sure brings back the memories, paint color and all.  This was the first FSM kit I ever built and it had just the right amount of challenges for me.  Sure learned a lot from George.

Hey Terry:

Thanks for the compliment. Not sure about the curb thing on the skylights. I followed the instructions. Maybe you could give me A little more info on the curb thing.

Thanks Karl.

Karl...it's a picky little thing I now wish I hadn't posted...I tend to get anal about these models and being true to real life...maybe it's my Architectural/construction background...I'll pencil sketch what I'm referring to and upload it.....

Hey
Terry:

thanks that would be appreciated.

Karl...the attached crude sketch represents a section cut thru the roof/skylite....the skylite sits on top of an 8-12" curb which in real life creates a more watertight seal than if the skylite sat directly on the roofing surface....

Hi All:

Going to my friends house that I'm building this for and we are going to install the track. By Sunday I hope to be back on this project.

Hi guys:

I went to my friends and we laid the track in the roundhouse. Instead of standard gauge we decided on Hon3. Here's a photo of the track installed in the round house.
