FOS Harbor Master Office build.

[ACL1504]

As I'm working of the Big Tahope River area, I'm also going to build a River master Office. I'm using the KOM #18- June 2020.



It will be placed here with only river access to the structure. No stairs from above. You arrive by boat and you leave by boat!

Ya'll know what these two photos mean. I'm off to the build.

That's a neat looking kit...like all Fos designs. I just came in from wrangling my boat around in a heavy current. I'm having the lift repaired and I didn't like the way the workers tied it up. As soon as I looked at Tom's kit, I thought "good thinking of Doug to place those two horizontal planks to keep the boats from shifting under the dock at low tide (and then disaster as tide rises)".


Looking forward to seeing this build.

I agree with John.  Neat looking little kit and that's going to be a wonderful location for it.  Nice to see the layout getting some attention.  Not that the brass isn't fun too.

Great looking kit Tom. Is this the same one as the one in the lagoon?

[Mark Dalrymple]

Looks interesting, Tom.

It will really change the look and feel of this area.  I do think a set of stairs connecting to the land would add a lot of drama.

Cheers, mark.

Going to be learning from this one.

Looking forward to seeing this one! It's cool to see some FOS kits, since I will be building one soon.

I hope working with wood doesn't get confusing after working with so much brass.....I'll be looking in.

John,

Thanks for stopping by. I agree with the two planks, it only makes sense. I haven't decided yet if or how I want to kit bash this one.

Bob,

Yes, I'm happy to be smelling wood and glue again. Who knows, I may even have a #11 accident it been so long.

Curt,

Thanks for looking in. No, this is an entirely different kit.

Mark,

Appreciate you stopping by. I thought about stairs to the ground level but the way I made the walls and area above the river, no room is available.

Steven,

Welcome to the crowd. I like all of Doug's kits. This will be a fun build.
