Your roof came out really well, Tom.

The red is nice for a change.

Cheers, Mark.

Hey Tom:

It's coming right along. I love the roof. It looks just great.

Very nice.


These old kits hold up fairly well. It's been 20 years since Fos began its kit making endeavors. That is a lot of Fos kits out there.

Everything looks outstanding Tom. How sturdy is the open air garage? I had something similar years ago and it was very fragile.

Curt,

Thank you and great question. This one is very sturdy. The horizontal outside boards and the headers make it very secure. Also, the roof will be glued to the side of the later.

Mark, Cheers,

Thank you kind sir. I like the red, it compliments the structure better than the standard gray, dark gray.

Jaime,

Thank you. I agree the kits hold up fairly well. After 20 years this one was actually one I've had in the stash that long.

Cousin Brucie,

Thank you for the kind compliment. Happy New year to you as well. I did have a Diet Pepsi just prior to bedtime, which was around 10:30 PM. I'm old and the dropping ball means nothing to me at this age.
