Good Morning Bob,
I have not had much time to follow or even look at the things happening on this forum but I did get a chance this morning and running across your build I have to say you have done a phenomenal job. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, Bob.  I like the Vallejo German Grey for a "grimy black" replacement. 


Jeff

Thanks for the compliment and the tip Jeff.  I'll have to get my hands on a bottle of the German Grey and give it a try.

Bob, another outstanding job!! We have been following the thread from the beginning and I have learned a lot. I hope to start my first real build shortly.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
Bill & Kris

Thanks Bill & Kris!  I'm glad you found this thread useful.  If you have any questions during your build feel free to give me a call.  Better yet, post questions out here.  There's a bunch of folks here that'll be more than happy to offer their assistance.

Bob...

The porch railing and lattice work are just terrific.

thanx
Bob

Thanks Bob!  To be honest, I was worried about them when I started.  I don't recall ever using them before.  But once I got going I found out it wasn't too difficult to do and, thanks to the quality of the castings, the results are really pleasing.

Bob,

Great job, the colors look like they belong on Aunt Ruth's house. As the other
Bob said, the lattice is terrific!

Tom

Thanks Tom!  I think my wife has earned the right to be my official color picker for future builds.

Nice job Bob. 


The lattice really is a great feature.


John

Thanks John!  The whole deal, lattice, porches, railings, etc. really reminds me of the small town type of homes from the Northeast.  Really 'down by the tracks' type stuff.

I just got to see this building up close on Bills' Pennsey layout. Great job Bob, I love the detail, especially the porches and crawl space lattice covering.
 
Very nice kit from el Groovey and great build by Butts!
 
By the way, I also saw the first wood structure build by Bill. He did a very nice job with the structure and added some great weathering also.
 
So Bill, now that you have Irfanview and can size the photos, how about sharing a few pictures of your first build with the rest of the gang? Hop in, the waters fine.....!

Bob,

It was a very nice gesture to give Aunt Ruth's House to Kris and Bill for their Pennsy layout! I'm not sure; however, that her relatives appreciate you giving it away! Ha!

Let me say this about this build and all the others you have done and unselfishly given and built for others!

I'M JUST DAMN HAPPY YOU LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

Tom
