I think everything looks great, but the clock tower is definitely the best.

Curt,
Thanks for the compliment, I would have to agree, I do like the look of the clock tower as well.

Very very Nice Work.
I've scratchbuild this one two time, and yours is better than mine

Your build looks great. George told me a few years ago that this kit started out looking like the Boathouse that he has along the North River of his layout. If you go back and look at it you can see it shares some of the design features. Bar Mills did a kit of the Boathouse recently.

That's mighty fine work. I can't wait to see what it looks like when finished. It's awesome!

John,
Thanks for the compliment. I also recently saw a picture of another structure I seemed to have missed when I was up in Peabody, that is the Hook Line & Sinker Seafood...kind of reminds me of Jeffries Point a little...

Howdy All,
Been a little while since my last post, but I have been working on the build. I have the main building just about all buttoned up. I also got the wharf put together. As always George does put in a more advanced build item, and the wharf, just like his loading docks are always a profanity laced build....(I guess it really was not that bad) Anyways, here are the latest pics. Thanks for taking a look...

Wow! Looks great Loren. I'm hoping to get to see this one in person when you're finished.

ReadingBob · May 16, 2019, 07:11:30 AM

Amazing! I have the kit sitting on the shelf waiting to be built (maybe this will inspire me to do so). But to scratch build it is taking things to a whole new level. Wow!

Hey Loren:

Absolutely beautifully done so far.
