It's always great to see an old project take on new life (says the guy still working on the Winchendon Machine Shop kit he started 15 years ago...)

Howdy Gary,

Glad you were able to work on the drug store. Nice work painting the details. The interior looks terrific.

Have fun,

Great looking interior Gary.

Thanks guys for the comments. Managed some time for working on the sign, the both of them had damage with the attachment points broken off and laying in pieces in their bag, a few pieces of brass rod took care of that.

and the store front attached.

Regards, Gary

Howdy Gary,

Nice save on the signs. The front looks fantastic. I like those big windows to show off the interior.

Have fun,
mike

Thanks, Mike, Jerry and Philip for looking in and words of encouragement. The power company stopped by today and got the lights turned on.

Great lighting effect Gary.

Managed over the weekend to get all the doors and windows glazed and installed, used canopy glue to attach the clear plastic to the metal frames. The trim pieces took some time to get fitted right but happy with the results.

Started work on the roof and will have some pic's of that shortly.

Gary, that came out looking wonderful!
I also have this kit waiting on my to build list, so it's nice to have this build to refer to when the time comes to finally build mine.

Those cornice castings can be -very- fiddly, yours came out great!

Excellent modeling Gary.

Thanks guys for the comments, I appreciate it. Next up was the roof access dog house, the directions say to use left over cardboard so I substituted wood instead and some framing because I wanted to leave the door open, ladder from scratch. Roofing is just black construction paper with white glue applied at the joints for that simulated tar look.
