Jerry thanks so much. We'll see if what's in my head translates to the foam.

Mike thank you; the stairs should be interesting.

Curt thank you so much.

Philip thanks!

The corner trim boards are made from 1x10's, grained then colored with raw umber 408.5 and clear alcohol so they matched the porch. They were a bit fiddly to add but I did end up with a nice tight fit on the corners. I did add a raw strip of 1x6's on the front and back corners to get the 1x10's to lay properly.

Looking terrific, Larry.

I'm pleased I waited to comment, as I was intending to write pretty much what I quoted above.  This has come out perfectly.  Most kits tend to provide 6x6's or 8x8's for the corner trim, but my Master Creation kits all provide 8x1's and butt joint the walls.  I'm not sure that most modellers really understand what those 6x6's and 8x8's actually represent.  I'm guessing in the larger scales you could even do scribers.

Cheers, Mark.

Larry, I was going to comment on the corner trim as well and also glad I didn't.
This looks much nicer and it's a good complimentary color.
Tar paper roof is nicely weathered.
