Hi Jeff! Thanks! Yeah, I've tried a bunch of different things for mortar and the concrete Hunterline works pretty well.

I always enjoy how thorough you are when documenting each step in a build thread and this was no exception.

Thanks Jerry! Happy to share this stuff (when I remember to take pictures). We all learn from each other's experiences and feedback.

Hi Greg! So now that this one is finished the clock is ticking on those Dinky Creek Bridge and Ezra's Coopers Garage builds you have going.

Oh boy, I've been avoiding going in the hobby room for months so I don't have to see those kits on the bench. Hopefully I'll get motivated one of these days.

We hit the local Mexican joint on a weekly basis, Tommy. Thanks for following along on this abbreviated, 25+ year, build.

Thank you, Jim! I have at least three more Downtown Deco kits in the stash. Maybe more. They're wonderful kits.

Nice looking build, Bob. Makes me want to go through my unbuilt DTD kits and build one

Thanks, John! Go for it. I'd love to see what you can do with one of these.
