No, it's not just a bump, I really have been working on the little tower!
Finally installed the railing. I say installed, since all the bits were there and ready to be cut to fit when it came time to pack it away to move in. With the cooler weather I have brought my portable workbench out of the garage into the house so that I can work without having to heat up the garage. This is great if I only have a short time to work, plus I'm in with the family (even though most of my time modeling is after the kids are in bed).
I have prepared a base on which to mount the building and will be creating a little scene with a tree & sidewalk as well. Looking at an old MR today, with an article about detailed scenes on George Sellios' F&SM, I am inspired to really pile on the details.
Personally, I think the F&SM is OVER-detailed, IMHO, but then again, so has George in recent years - still, I figure if I get about half as many figures, crates, etc. as he's got per square inch, then I'll be okay. I think the trick is to set a scene that's interesting regardless of how much is there.
Pictures soon!

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
