Tom,

I have been very lax on this forum for a couple of months now due to other on-going concerns.
Enough of that for now.

I enjoyed looking at this build for a few reasons. I once purchased a Magnuson kit (Firehouse), and like you it had sticky walls and all the walls were badly warped. So, I sold it. After seeing your tips for straightening them and tips for sticky removal, I may try another kit. I do prefer plaster, as they are easier to sand the backs and edges of walls for me for aligning purposes.

Getting back to this build, I like the way you model by showing everything, leaving nothing out, good & bad results. This makes me a better scratchbuilder, thinking ahead. Many thanks. Previously, I stayed away from these kits due to the fact of not having a need for a large town area without plans for a future layout, or the room for one. I now may make room for a couple of smaller Magnuson kits.

I will be following your build and so far, it is excellent.

Rich
