Thanks for the interest, guys!
Doctorwayne, I've got dozens of those square bottles! And you are soooo right! It Is/was good paint! The best!

Great Idea, Gary ... I had not considered reversing walls! Kool! I will make a note! Unfortunately, because of the location of my roundhouse, when I get to that point, you will be able to see almost all the way around it. I'll probably use some sort on embossed brick sheet for interior walls , since with all the big windows and being at some 50+ inches off the floor, the interior will be rather visible and need at least some minimal detailing.
Thanks for the encouragement, e-paw! Encouragement is always welcome!
O.K. ... I've got to get back to working on the roof of that "Packaged Goods Shipping House." I'm only going to use the roof trusses from the kit on the viewed side, so I must fabricate something structural for under the unseen side to support that side of the roof, put the two halves of the roof together and then ... make some decision about roof covering material!
Then ... find a source for 3/4 ounce bottles for under my Badger 200 airbrushes. My dozen or so bottles are among the missing at this point. Then I can use some of that square-bottled Floquil paint that the esteemed doctorwayne and I like so much!
Keep modeling!

[What do you thin the square bottle stuff with?]
Kevin, considering the pace with which you work, you'll eclipse me in an afternoon! I'm notoriously slow. Back when I would work out in the shop of my first design group, I was known for being slow but always incredibly thorough! And I'm sure you know lots more model building tricks than I do ... I haven't done any model building in close to twenty years! I'll be lucky to remember much of what I once knew! Those gussets are just standard bracing technique. The hole in it facilitates "planting" on the layout with a few screws, if you want to go that way, if not ... eh! But it's easier to drill the hole in prior to "welding" them into place!
