When you say, "FOS Hendrix Style Foundry"... Have you got an Ed Fulasz "Old Stone Warehouse"?

--Rich

when Ed Fulasz retired, the rights to his kits were obtained by Jimmy Deignan who produced them for a number of years. When he decided to stop production, the rights, and I assume, molds, were transferred to Doug Foscale. That's why you see some "Fulasz style" hydrocal show up from time to time in a few of Doug's kits.

Anyway, nice job Kurt.

Thank you Greg, Jan, Mike, Jerry, Timbob60, and Karl for your kind words.

Today I added the details to the stone building. I still need to decide whether to put a exterior light over the yet to be built loading dock. I don't like the idea of making that large a hole in the hydrocal. There are several wood add on rooms that are next up on the agenda.

Today after spraying a couple of parts I accidently left them in the garage and after searching the house, garage, inside garbage, outdoor garbage I finally found them in the recycling. I most of folded them up in the newspaper I was recycling

The billboard legs are very fragile (I busted one) and I had to shorten the 2 inside legs. This is probably due to the roof not being perfectly applied...oh well.

Curt,

I just took a few minutes to catch up on this thread. I want to echo the comments you have already received. Looks great, nice fit and finish, and very realistic coloring on the walls.

Great job Curt! The stone work is fabulous. This will be a really nice addition to the new layout.

Curt,

I agree with the others, the stone work looks great and natural.

Well done.
