Here's a photo of the kit.

But I'd follow a Karl thread if he was putting together a jigsaw puzzle

Karl,
On the Shady Grove JIG SAW can you share with us the base color and what did you use for the white

Thanks,

Hi Mike:

Base color on walls is Floquil Canadian National gray. The white is Polyscale reefer white.

Hi All:

The foundation is painted Floquil Aged concrete and assembled. This is a delicate assembly and takes a little time to get it all square. The gluing surfaces are pretty small. So I let it set then I added drops of glue on the insides of the corners. This strengthened it up pretty well. Here's a photo.

Karl,
Looks like you are off to the races with yet another cool structure.  Looks good so far, of course, I'll be following along.
