Thanks, Curt!  I'll try to get a night shot of both of the flats, side by side, when I finish the Distillery.  I actually made some progress on that one today and hope for more of the same tomorrow.  :)

Wow, that turned out great. Love the step by step and the weathering is fantastic. Well done my friend.

Thank you, Tom! Another one of Doug's really neat little kits. It was a fun build and went together with no major issues.  ;)

Thanks for sharing all your SBS's.

Thanks, Rick! I enjoy sharing my builds even though they's nothing really unique about them.  Just straight kit building the way the manufacturer intended.  ;D

Quote from: deemery on March 12, 2025, 08:55:15 AMBob, how do you mark that white lamp cord so you get the DC polarity correct?

dave

Hi Dave!  That's actually some speaker wire that came with the last surround sound system I bought.  I mark the ends with a red and a black Sharpie to keep things straight.  The wire also has a light gray strip and some lettering on one strand.  I typically assign that to the Positive side.  8)  Thanks for following along!

Jeff

Thanks Dr. Jeff!  I also use the paint/water putty technique for stucco.  I was doing the old water putty/water method for stucco followed by painting the stucco when it occurred to me try it the lazy way and simply mix the paint and water putty.  The lazy man's method.  ;D
