Hey Bob:

Looks just beautiful so far.  Love the colors you chose.

Karl

Thanks Karl!  I'm happy with this one.  Doug sure does a great job with his designs.  I'm slowly building up a stash of harbor structures like this one to surround Red Hook Wharf when I tackle it.  :o

Hello Bob, well you've taken things to a whole other level with this build- lights and sound, Wow. Great job as usual on the build and the build thread.    Jeff

Thank you Jeff!  The sound was a first for me.  I thought I bought more than just that one but it's the only one I had in my stash.  I wonder what else Slim has to offer.

Funny story I forgot to tell.  For a week or two I misplaced the single edged razor blade I was using on my workbench and couldn't find it.  It was driving me nuts.  I was a little afraid I might have dropped it on the floor or something.  It was due to be replaced anyway but still and unaccounted for razor blade is a concern.  I finally found it attached the back of the package containing the stuff for the gull sounds.  It attached itself to the magnet in the speaker.  Mystery solved.   :D

This little structure is more impressive in person. Bob brought it down a couple weeks ago, it looks fantastic as all his build do.

They sound of the seagulls really bring it to life. The Judge and I were honored to be the first to see this little gem.

Tom  ;D

Much appreciated Tom!  I'm already looking forward to my next visit.  Hope to get down there real soon.   :)

Great build.  Lights and sound, too.  You keep raising the bar higher and higher.


Jeff

It's all Slim's fault!   8)  Thanks for the kind words Jeff.  I appreciate having you follow along.   :D

Great job Bob.....especially like the paint on the exterior walls. Sorry to have missed hearing the sounds.  8)

Thanks Greg!  Hopefully you'll get to hear them someday soon.   ;)

Very, very nice.  Great reminder that I needed to order some copper foil tape.

Thank you Bob!  That copper tape is a blessing.  Some of my early wiring efforts, done without it, are a real mess.  The tape sure makes things look a bit more organized and cleaner.   :D

Bob - My modeling friend, Neil's nephew does brass etched seabirds.  You add solder to the body and carve with a dremel.  With a bit of time and effort the results are fantastic.  We had one of his birds take out a gold award at out biannual NZ show.  He would probably resize them to 1:87 scale.  Of course you would have to deal with international postage and the timeframe that entails (as I have to do with almost everything I buy!)  Anyway, check out his sight.  There are some other things that may also be of interest.  Mark spent a weekend modeling here with us last year, and spent it making up one of his cabbage tree kits.  They, too, are incredibly realistic!

Beautiful work Bob!  Lights and sounds, all that's left are the scents of the seaside.  Thanks for the updates, and sharing the pictures and products.

Thanks Jerry!  I have a lot of fun building these little kits.  I like the big ones too but these get done a lot faster.   :D

Thanks for the tip Mark.  He sure has some interesting stuff.  I may have founds some from a manufacturer over here.  I might try to place an order with them later today and see how that goes.  ;)
