Kurt your literally blowing my mind with this outstanding realistic modeling! Way to go my friend
![]() ![]() How would you like to do some fences for me? LOL

Gus, my soldering iron is nothing special, it stays hot for so long because i am just too stupid to pull the plug ...
![]() Herc, Steven, thank you for your kind comments. Josh, what are you thinking of? Would ten feet be enough? ... ![]() Okay, when you see what I’ve been doing today, don’t call for a doctor, I am beyond that ... I needed a lamp that looked a bit like the one that sits above the "V" on the front wall of the prototype. Well, it took only about two hours ... ![]() ![]() The bulb is a 1/8" white LED ... no, the lamp does not work ... I’ll do that next week ![]() ![]() ![]()

Kurt, I don't know how you come up with this stuff! I'm blown away. I just hope I can pay attention enough to learn something

Steven, I just look closely at the pictures and try to do what I see ... and I don’t show here what goes wrong ..
![]() Gus, it is too late, the soldering is getting addictive. I had to do it again ![]() ![]() ... but all I accomplished today was a broken roof ![]() ![]()

Quote:but all I accomplished today was a broken roof Oh THAT's All! ![]() Outstanding work. There is a simplicity to soldering, once you get going with a few techniques. You seem to have mastered them quite well. Galen
I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!

Really excellent work.
I'm definitely conceding........

Galen, you are right, soldering is quite simple. But the best about it is, that even if you use very thin wires like I am doing for this project, the results are rather sturdy, especially compared to plastic ... and I am notorious for breaking thin plastic parts

I am making progress at a snail’s pace ... but I am making some progress. Since my last post I added some more details. I started with the long sidewall that will face to the tracks and the front of my layout. Viewed from that side, the structure still looked like a shoebox. So I decided to add some details you don’t find on the prototype. On a neighboring building I found a wall mounted air conditioner and some electrical boxes that I adopted for my structure.
![]() Next thing on the agenda was the front door. Now the only details left to be done are 2" of fence and the windows. ![]() ![]()

Really outstanding work.
I am just waiting to see the hurricane roll through and get it all weathered and dirty. dwight77

Thanks guys
![]() Yesterday I mixed the color to paint the walls I did not print out. It was surprisingly easy to match the color of the print out with my airbrush paints. It varies only a little, so that I could use it to work in some subtle shades on my printed walls. ![]() ![]() The rear wall will remain white. I still have to work a bit on the weathering ![]()
