Mike,


I echo what Karl and Jerry said.  I'll be following, too.

Mike,
Will check in on this one.
Keep buying those limited run kits so you can share the builds.
Don't forget to keep the spouse happy and get that house she likes too !

Going slowly due to the pending house sale and having to complete the company houses elsewhere on the forum.

Continuing.................here is the completed facade for the storefronts.

Continuing.............I have completed the storefronts. I have added acetate glass and window displays. The base for the street was painted concrete. The scribed walls were painted a pale blue and the frontage raw sienna. I glued the walls together which is an irregular shape based on the outline of the street base. Problem Houston! The roof does not fit either way. I had glued the tar paper strips on one side based on the tick marks for rafter rails being printed on the reverse. It looks like I have to cut a new roof...............

Looking good Mike.

Hello Mike, that's too bad about the roof being the wrong size. I'm surprised that a FOS kit made that mistake. Nothing you can't handle though. Good luck.   Jeff

Thanks for your kind comments Curt and Jeff.
I cut a new roof and covered it before adding the little signs..............

Looks great, Mike.

I really like the wood colour you have used.

Cheers, Mark.
