Hello Bob, another great start to a very informative build thread. I always learn some additional tips and techniques from you. I really hope that someday you can get started on a layout for all of the terrific builds that you produce.   Jeff

Really enjoying this build, Bob.  Nice little kit that I may have to pick up one day.
I also like the corrugated roofing material in these kits. I think it's easier to work with than the actual metal.

Looking good so far!

There must be a creek along the Reading somewhere!


Your usual great tutorial and fine workmanship.


Jerry

  Well Jerry the Reading did run along the Schuylkill River and, if I'm not mistaken, the Lehigh as well.  I doubt I could find as many waterfront structures as I have on both combined but what the heck.  It'll be my little world when I build it and my rules.   

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Another Bob Build.....I'll be looking in. 

Thanks Greg!  Great to see you again yesterday.  Looking forward to the next visit to the A&S.

Thanks Doug!  Another neat little kit for FOS.  I really enjoy building the smaller ones like this.

Thanks Tommy!  I have an old Sony camera that still has some buttons on the back.  I can reach over it and, by feel, press the bottom button which turns on the delay timer.  When this camera gives up the ghost I'm not sure what I'll do.  All the newer cameras I've seen are all touch screen controls so the by feel thing won't work.  I'm not sure if you set the delay timer to be on permanently or if you have to do it manually each time.  I guess I'll worry about that if/when the time comes.

Thanks Jeff!  My plan is to start with a 2' by 4' module and completely finish that first.  I do need to clean out the garage and redo the shelving on one wall first.  When I finally retire in a few years I won't have work to use and excuse for procrastinating on getting started.   

Happy to share the tips and techniques that I use here.  Heck, I learned a lot of them here and on the old forum.  It's what we do here.

Thanks Opa George!  I wasn't sold on this type of corrugated roofing material the first few times I used it but I've since come around to liking it.  it's the old stuff that got me into the habit of cutting it to size prior to painting rather than the other way around.  There was little point in painting that first and then cutting it because you'd end up with too many shiny edges that needed to be touched up after you cut it.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark!  I'm enjoying this one so far.  It's a simple little kit but I love these little waterfront type structures.
