Jerry,
Thanks for the positive comment.  Only thing slowing me down is being 7 years beyond age 65...
Keep checking back as there are many more builds to show, like this SRMW Blackstone Mill kit...another work in progress..
Did fix these seams up prior to painting them unlike the SRMW # 120...change is good.

 Two photos to share from this SRMW project...Mike Engler ( The Runner ) posted build threads of Kendall's and OV Hooker on the RR Line Forum years ago that was a great reference.
First photo shows the start of the SRMW OV Hooker kit with the SRMW Diesel House kit trusses in the background.
Second photo shows the clapboard building of SRMW Kendall's without the balcony added.

 John, Karl, Mark and Bob...Thanks for the positive comments.
The Kendall's main structure color choice was craft paint... Folk Art French Vanilla and Delta Ceramcoat Quaker Grey and White all applied with a brush and a light A/I wash .
Another view looking back on the first group of 11 different SRMW kits...and more to follow...

 Been 10 days since the last update.
Thankful to have these kits to share.
Here's some photos of a few that have clapboard walls.
Many were kept in boxes like this waiting to see if we would relocate again...
Photos of the prep work... SRMW Whitney-Bent,  SRMW Wrisley Papers,  SRMW Rugg Mfg,  SRMW Tucker-Cook,  SRMW Delabarre Mills are shown...
