2020 Challenge Carolina Craftsman Kit #CCK1359 - AD Low & Company

[GPdemayo]

Hello and welcome to the build thread of the Carolina Craftsman Kit #CCK1359 - "AD Low & Company".

It has been some time, a few years is more like it, that I have posted any build threads to the forum. I have been procrastinating about taking time to build kits and post because of business concerns, but I really need to get on with building some of the great kits I have accumulated over the years and time keeps marching on.

I have intended to participate in the challenges that Dan has started each year, but I just couldn't get moving on any one project. So this year, I thought I would start out easy on a smaller project and Jeff's kit fit the bill. So, a big thank you to Dan for giving me a good case of the ole' Jewish/Catholic guilt to get back to modeling and being responsible for getting so many great build threads going each year.

Also a big thank you to Jeff Grove for the kit. Jeff was in a generous mood about 4 years ago and sent Tom, Bob and myself a free kit from his ever expending excellent product line. It is a great, small footprint, structure that is adaptable for most any type of business that you would find in small town USA.

At this point, I'm not sure what that use will be, I just want to get started building again. I'll worry about what it will be when I get around to including it in the redesigned St.L&D Railroad.

Below are the requisite photos of the box and contents:

Exhibit #1 (ADL-002)



Exhibit #2 (ADL-003)



And of course, the box contents:

Exhibit #3 (ADL-007)


Exhibit #4 (ADL-008)


Stay tuned.....

Greg,

OMG, is that a new old cutting mat, an old new cutting mat or a new new cutting mat?

Great to have you join us with a build.  Looks like a nice kit. How do you keep your cutting mat so clean??    Okay, so Tom started it.

Make that an old new mat.....the old old mat was nasty and I replaced it shortly before the photo was taken. Thanks for looking in.

Thanks for looking in Jim.....I think the kit is great because the structure can be used for so many types of small businesses that a modeler may need on his layout.

Hey Curt.....glad you stopped by.....don't expect Greg Speed on the build though. 

[ReadingBob]

I guess there's Greg speed and then there's Greg speed.  Opposite ends of the spectrum.   

I'll be following along as well.   

[Dave K.]

So good to see you back at it. Eager to follow along!

Greg, looks like an interesting build.  I like those tarpaper add-ons--I think they add a lot of character.  I'll be looking in.
