Hi everyone, I thought I would share with you my latest completed model of this classic "Fine Scale Miniatures" kit The Chippy Hollow Hardware Co.
I did not do a build on this kit simply because it was already done here in the past by forum member Steve Custer.
He did such a good job with it, I saw no reason to do another build thread on this kit.
Here is the link to Steve's build of this kit.

So I decided to build my kit not as the Chippy Hollow Hardware Co. but instead the John Allen Monuments & Statuary Co. to honor one of the great model railroad builders of all time John Allen.
One thing that I also did a little different from Steve's build of this kit was to add LED lighting to it.
So here is how it came out looking, I hope you enjoy the pics.

Here's how it looks with the LED's at night.
