But before that, I needed to put the braces in for the roof.  I used one of the strips from the kit to measure the distance. 

Need to build the two "interior" pieces to make sure they fit before putting the walls together.

Jeff,
 Your build is looking great. Great choice on the colors and added details too.

Jeff,

Excellent build, I love the entire look of the structure. You've done a fantastic job on the kit. Weathering is spot on as far as I'm concerned.

Hi, Jerry.  I tried to vary a few of the "black out" panes.  Some are silver, one is plain wood.  I've seen some of these kits where the windows are painted different colors, green is a favorite, but I thought they looked too cartoonish.

Thanks for the kind words, Tom.

I built the two "insets" that go into the walls.  one is a loading area with some crates.  The background crates came with the kit, the one in the front i already had.  I'll have someone sitting on it when I can find an appropriate figure.  It looks like it's lit do to my overhead lighting.  I'm not going to install lighting like some of you (I'm looking at you, Bob), as I don't want to use the time.  The stair inset is dark, which is good as the stairs are crooked), I'm using front lighting to show it off.  I added a fan to one of the blanked out areas and a curved duct I had on hand for another . Presently I've glued the front and side wall together and they are curing.  will add the back two walls later.

Thanks, Bob. The finishes were mostly spray cans.  Easy Peasy.  (Where have I heard that term before?)   :D

I had to look up who Albert Kahn was, Jerry.  Thanks for following.
