Good to see you back at it - I will be following along.

 Nice to see these SW kits being built, I did the WoodCutters shack a while back, it was a real treat.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.


Here's where I'm at...next steps include the shed roof and painting all of the castings (there are a lot). This board by board construction is a challenge for an impatient guy (like me) who likes to knock out Bar Mills kits as quickly as the glue and paint can dry - for better or worse. I'm learning to take my time, finish a single step with intense focus, and walk away...this is real Samurai stuff for me and will, no doubt help me in all facets of my life (including the legit Samurai stuff I do...Aikido).

Good looking framing work John.....well done. 

[Jerry]

Framing looks great.  I'm sure it will turn out perfect like all your things do.


I thought for a minute you did something wrong so he was punishing you!!

Thanks for looking in Greg & Jerry. I've got my castings stuck to popsicle sticks, spray paint ready...just haven't had a minute...probably tomorrow evening if I can't sneak it in today.

OMG John's a bad a$$!      Now I know what may happen to me if I screw up one of the builds I do for him.

  Aikido is "The Way of Peace"...I was probably helping him up.


Hope to see you & the gang soon Bob.

Here's the latest on my Woodcutter's Shack...the real heart of this kit is the roughly one million beautiful castings...That's all I've got left but they will change the entire appearance of this relatively humble little structure...got the roof on today. Very nice precut shingle strips. Castings are primed and, where appropriate, stuck on BBQ skewers for easier handling. Paint is on the workbench. Just about out of reasons to delay...

[ReadingBob]

Looks great John!   The castings will certainly make it pop when they're finished and in place.

Looks great John.....looking forward to seeing the whole scene on the layout. 

[PRR Modeler]

That will be a great addition to your layout.
