The details look great.  The porch adds a lot of character to the foundry.  Congratulations on a fine build.

Have fun,
mike

Thanks, Mike, for your nice comments.

Nice scratch build Rich. It's amazing what one can do with tiny parts like watch gears. I've got something like that squirreled away too.

Welcome everyone,

I must update this tread when I can.
This brief announcement comes with heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to my build.
I have suffered another stroke this week, and I will plan to update this as soon as I can.
It seems like every one of my builds has setbacks, and some like this one are hard to overcome.
Thanks to all, back in a few...

Just got off the phone with Rich aka Pennman. He's doing fine. Nothing major. He'll be back on when he's feeling a bit better.
