Hi all.....

I've procrastinated for the last few weeks with this build and have decided to declare it "mostly finished". I was going to weather it, but kept changing my mind about the degree of the weathering. I have decided to do the weathering when a decision is made as to the kit's placement on the layout.

Lessons have been learned with the build and I'm looking forward to the next kit in the lineup. Below are the final photos of the building in a temporary spot on the layout.

Exhibit #1 - (ADL-094)


Exhibit #2 - (ADL-095)


Exhibit #3 - (ADL-097)


Exhibit #4 - (ADL-098)


Kit wrap up and thoughts.....

First order of business is to thank Jeff for the kit and apologize for the quality of the build....my rusty skills did not do this fine kit justice.

It is an excellent kit for almost any layout. It is a great structure that can be adapted to any type of small business that would be necessary in any town set in the mid 1900's. It also has the advantage of not needing a siding so it is great for one of the many infill type buildings required in a small town setting.

The laser cut wood supplied was square and true and the plastic and metal castings were well done. All in all a very nice kit for the asking price.

It has been fun getting back to building structures after a rather lengthily absence and I thank all of you for looking in and coming along with me on this short journey back into the hobby.

See y'all on the next build.....a golden oldie from FSM.....Stay Tuned!
