Tom,

Thank you for showing off your excellent modeling with us.
I have enjoyed this build and I am happy that you have accomplished
what you set out to do. It looks very-well put together. The scenery
will set it even more with the surrounding details.

The street scene is looking fabulous, Tom.

All your hard work has paid off!

Cheers, Mark.

The building turned out great, in spite of the issues. I especially like the copper roofing finish. I have this kit in the pile. After seeing it's issues, it may go on ebay.

Tom, the roof color looks like aged copper.
Structure fits perfectly where you have it placed.

Tom,

That is a well aged copper roof. The building also fits very well into the scene.

Wow! Somehow I missed your last post Tom. That is an excellent coloring on the roof and another great how to.

Howdy Tom,

The roof looks amazing. The flat iron looks great in that location.

Have fun,

Really nice build Tom. A challenging kit for sure, the fit and finishes are top notch. Not a kit for beginners. It fits the space you allotted perfectly. Congrats, Mark

Quote from: deemery on January 10, 2026, 01:37:20 PMVery cool technique and result! The structure looks like it was designed to fit that space.

I notice, though, there's a bit of a color shift on the roof of the new structure, between the photos from the workbench and the photos on the layout. It might be interesting to get a LightMeter app for your phone and see how much difference there is in color temperature between your workbench and your layout lighting.

Dave,

Thanks you sir. Good observation on your part. I had the layout lights on but not the layout room lights.

Here are the same area shots with all the lights.

Jeff,

Thanks Doc, much appreciated. I think you would do a fine job on the model. One was listed on Ebay last month for $165.00 but didn't sell.
