Jerry,

Impeccable work as per your usual standards.  Colouring looks great.

I didn't know you could use mineral spirits with the chalks instead of alcohol.  Thanks for the tip.

Jeff,

The Rembrandt chalks use clay as a binder hence the use of mineral spirits

[Philip]

Whoa! Nice work Jerry!

[Jerry]

Jeff, Curt, Rick, Ron & Philip.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!  Believe me it's greatly appreciated knowing you all took the time to post.

Hell Ron I never knew that was why you could use it thanks for telling us.

And Rick there will always be a Schintzler Pond my friend.

I guess I should draw up a plan on the buildings that are going to be on this diorama.

Once again thank you all.

Howdy Jerry,

I thought Schnitzler's Pond had dried up!   

Nice job with the chalks and mineral spirits.  The wall color looks realistic.  I love all the fire stops.

Glad to see you back on this fun project.  I'm looking forward to the build.

Have fun,
mike

Thanks Mike glad you liked it.

The pond will never run dry!!

Just so you know I was really working on framing that second wall.

So now it will be doing the outside sheathing and I'm not sure if I want to tarpaper the inside.
And to make a jig for making the windows.

Jerry those look outstanding.

[Rick]

Jerry, as usual, your framing is excellent.

Jerry,

Framing is perfect and looks like a 1:1 frame job shrunk to HO scale. Expertly done.

"Honey, I shrunk the framing!"

Jerry I can only echo what the other's have already stated; fantastic job.

Jerry,

2 walls down and 2 to go.     The walls look great and the colouring is spot on.

Curt, Rick, Tom, Larry & Ron.

Thank you for the wonderful comments.

On to the siding.
