Looking good, Tom!  When you glue the chimneys, make sure they're between the windows.  A couple of those temp positions look like they overlap windows underneath.

Dave,

The photo you look at to come to that conclusion is at an angle. The two chimneys are between the read upper doors and the windows.

I stained all the strip wood I planned on using for the rear stairs.



I took a second look at the kit laser cut stair parts. The railing were very well done, so, I decided to use the kit railing.

This is a first for me as I've always scratch built my own railings.

I then glued the platform assembly to the building under the upper rear doors. I also made sure it was level.



I carefully made sure it was square tot he wall and let it dry overnight.
