Hi John, Dave K & Bobby:

Yes, they are the shingles that come with the kit. I think George said Northeastern made them for him. They are painted with Model Master's SAC bomber Green. Then A&I & dry-brushed with Polyscale D&H gray.

Thanks - I see a new color of paint being added to my collection - bomber Green.  I really like the color combination. I wounder how many jars of paint I have???

Hi All:

Finished the platform today. There are several steps to this assembly. It took me about 6 or 7 hours. Took me most of the afternoon. As a matter of fact I just finished the stairs. Also ripped out the bracing under the rear roof in front of the track as it was crooked. Anyway it's back together. Here's a few photos.

Karl, that's the sign of a perfectionist - Build, Rip-Out, and Re-Build!
Congrats on your tenacity - that's what makes your builds top notch!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I'm new here Karl,

I enjoyed poring over ever photo of this build. Splendid, subtle colors.

May I ask, what is that barrel doing on the roof. Sand for fires?
