Butty Terry,

Stupendous is the word you are looking for, but stupendish works for me as well. Let's just say it is a patois between us.

Thanks for the generous compliment.

Jerry,

Thanks my friend. Yes, patience/taking my time is something I have when building kits.

When you restarted this build thread about a week ago, it reminded me how much I -missed- seeing your progress and reading about your construction techniques and problem solving.   These extensive build threads are the true value of this forum!

Dave,

Thank you very much for the kind compliment. I'm sort of guilty as charged.

When I first joined Jimmy D's forum in December 2013, I was asked/advised to answer each person's post to my threads and to be as specific as possible when describing my builds. We all love photos and I do post hundreds of photos in my larger build treads.

It is a bit time consuming, but to me the narrative and photos are all part of the process. I enjoy sharing my techniques and problem solving. Now, it all second nature to me and a habit as well.

A past forum member, who, by the way is no longer on this forum, said I posted to many photos. His comment just inspired me to post more photos.

Anyway, thank you again for the comment Dave.

I added the top plate boards to the showroom building this afternoon.

I started with the two walls that meet at an odd angle.




It appears that two different angles will need to be cut on the end to fit properly.

[ACL1504]

Hocus Pocus and it is done. 



The rest of the top plates were just cut and glue in place.



Now I can spray paint the three building an exterior white.

Next, I need to build the interior details.

Done for today.

Tom, always a pleasure seeing your progress and engineering.
Post as many photos as you like.
