Now, some thoughts on the build and kit.

I'm really in awe of Jason and his creative idea in making the three KC's Workshop kits into one beautiful build. I really like how he made it look like a building that was added on to over the years. All the signs and tall KC roof sign really set the kit apart from our normal looking structures. Thank you Jason for you creative thinking on this one. Yes, I agree, you do love signs.

As soon as I heard Kenny was going to offer this kit as one, I jumped on it and got it in the mail in just a few days.

I wanted to put my own spin of the structure and yet wanted to keep the same type theme for it as well. You know me, I like to change things up a little in my builds.

I ended up re-cutting all my own walls. I didn't start or intend to do this it just ended up that way. I liked Goober's Garage so I made my own walls for the Jenson building.

I didn't want to use board and batten walls on the second story so I ended up cutting my own walls for that one as well.

Since I scratch built the stairs, I couldn't place the garage up against the main structure. I re-cut some new walls to change the roof pitch on the garage. This was basically an easy build. The hardest part was scratch building the two wall stairs.

I haven't ordered any details from Rusty Stumps but will in a few days.

Lastly, I'd like to thank Ken Crump, Mr. KC's Workshop owner, for offering this great kit in a kit form.

Thank you all for following along. I hope I gave credit to the build in keeping it basically the same as the original Jenson's kit bash with my own version of creativity added to the build..

First Spectacular build ! I just love it  can I use some of your photos of your version at the Expo ?
Second I agree Jason has a wonderful eye for seeing the forest thru the trees so to say with his bashes
Third as for the B&B should have mentioned it I would have cut yours in clap ( hey you forumites don't ever be afraid to ask if Ican accommodate you I WILL)
lastly the castings on Jasons build are from Rusty Rails not Stumps if you're looking for the ones he used


also everyone stop by KC's tables at the Expo and check out Jasons wonderful kitbash of these 3 kits in person photos don't do it justice !

Ken, 

Thank you, very much appreciate your support on the build and my version. And, again, thank you very much for offering the kit bash as a kit in itself.

You may use anything on the thread you need, narrative or photos. Please help yourself.

I didn't think of asking for the walls to be re-cut, but I will certainly keep that in mind.

I have no idea why I typed "Stumps" instead of Rusty Rails, senior moment. I'll stick with that one reason. I did make the change in my narrative above.

I won't be at the EXPO this year but will look forward to the next one.

Tom
