Appreciate that Brett. Your details are just incredible and so easy to work with. Can't get enough.
Thanks Jim.
Nice hearing from you Steve and thanks. The various scenes are difficult to envision and getting started is daunting. However, once I get the general feel of where I'm going it just starts rolling along.
Thanks Robert.
Hey Jeroen, appreciate your thoughts my friend.
Thanks much Rick. Brett's 3D detail parts are a game changer for sure. So many possibilities.
Thanks much Kevin.
Thanks Carl.
Appreciate your thoughts here Emery. I was going to put in a potbelly stove, but when I saw Brett's barrel stove, that sealed the deal! There is actually an ash pan in front there just hard to tell.
Hey thanks Al.
Thanks much Tom. The stairs, landing, and railing made for great detail and clutter to reside. I should have left some space to see underneath.
Appreciate that Bryan. Thanks for noticing the electrical work. The larger conduit making a hard right is going outside to feed the hoist shed next door.
Hey Jeroen. With the image sizing restraint its a bit hard to see things, but appreciate ya for pointing those details out. I put those two details in my Eureka Springs build and they are such a cool detail I'll be adding them to every build I do.
Finished the interior of the last remaining wall of Shelby's main structure. This wall was left off to allow unobstructed access to the interior. These details would be very difficult to place if this wall was attached to the structure and requires a bit of pre-planning. This area is where water plumbing is brought into the building and is appropriately backed up by the location of the exterior plumbing that will be done later on.
I would also like to point out the versatility of Brett's 3D printed detail parts. The open cabinet with shelves is one of Brett's open crates turned up on its end and two pieces of strip wood added for shelving. The other cabinet, with the porcelain knobs, is one of the solid "wood" crates also turned up on its end. Of course note the wonderful sink and water cooler 3D details!
Installed the second story floor (first floor roof) and the lighting today. The hanging shop lights are for effect and not lit. The lights are attached to the second story flooring. Last shot before the side wall gets installed.
Outstanding ! Such a shame to put that last wall on, but hopefully there will still be some good visibility of this mastery when the lights come on, especially with the large open front wall and opening on the side. I've only seen one other (finished) build of this great kit with the actual rails inside as originally designed, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the trestle etc, exiting the structure, mine is still mostly in my minds eye, though 90% done.
Thanks Karl and nice hearing from you my friend! I wimped out on the lighting and don't have the actual shop lights lit so it looks slightly odd when lit. Lights on but not from the obvious light sources! Lol. The 4 lights placed on the ceiling light up the interior nicely, they just aren't coming from the shop lights. Oh well, least of my concerns at this phase of the build. You should dust off that piece and finish it up!
There must be several hundred (more?) pieces and parts in this last foto that you have meticulously and individually placed into this scene! Wonderfully done! Can’t wait to get into my shop to start my next SWSM kit.
Ken, I'm just catching up with this build and your detailed interior is worth at least a month of studying. I have the interior details to start on with my tool shed but you have set the bar beyond Olympic height. This is the type of modeling I love. Thank you for all the inspiration.

Will it have running water. .?????????
Appreciate that Tom.
Thanks Ben, just got second floor put in today.
Thanks much Robert.
Have the plumbing for it Carl!
Thanks Bryan. Yup, hard water and rust stains in the sink...can't let anything go "ungrunged"!
