Looking fantastic, Bob!

I've never thought of gluing down the subfloor of my decks before adding the decking.  I must try that!

Cheers, Mark.

Looks great and once again your build threads are the best.

Great build as always Bob. I wish I could bind your well-detailed threads into a high-gloss chapter book and keep it as a reference tool!


Everytime I see that cool metal glue dispenser tip, I vow to get one, then life takes me away. Looks like a great little tool.

Thanks for the kind comments Mark.  I was just following along with the recommendation in the instructions regarding gluing the subfloor down before adding the decking.  It did make it a bit easier to get dirt under there.   :D

Thanks Greg!  Yep, we'll swing by my place and you can see how big this diorama really is.   :o

Thanks John!  I really appreciate your following along and commenting.  I love sharing builds just to give others a sense for what building a particular kit entails.  Of course these yellow boxes are my all time favorites (no offence to all the other wonderful kit manufacturers out there).   :D

Thanks Tom!  I can't wait until we can haul this puppy up to the EXPO next March.  Of course I have to finish it first.   :D

Thanks John!  We need to get together one of these days when you get a break.  We're taking a trip to the BLI store in Ormond Beach on Friday if you're interested/available.   :D

Thanks Karl!  Much appreciated.

The base was always one of those things I least looked forward to making up.  Since I started using GatorFoam I don't mind it at all any more.
