The Last Full Steam Ahead kit … sort of

[Judge]

Curt - Very neat structure.  I like the contrasting materials on the covered outside entrance/fire escape stairway.  Of course, we don't have any of those covered stairways here in Florida because the weather is temperate and, although it frequently rains, true Floridians are used to afternoon showers that come and go.

Thanks everyone for the comments and having a look.

A fun and funny feature I wanted to incorporate into this building was a crazy first attempt at fire escape.  The history and iterations of fire escapes are actually pretty interesting ... they should would have to hurry to get on the foot bars and hand holds of this building since the building is made of wood, lol.  This was a cheap and fast way to build fire escapes but didn't last long ... thankfully.

I found one of my original building to show the completed fire escape.   I am in the middle of a large Reno at my house and everything is boxed up and I have no idea where anything is ... I found this while looking for some painters tape.  I can't wait to set things back in order and discover all my stuff again.

Slowly, coming together the model and the Reno!
