Kevin, today is a new day! Hopefully you will have a better one than the previous one.
thanks tom. with the exception of the roof, it's finished! i'll try to get some natural light pictures today but it's supposed to be windy, so it'll probably be inside pics.
I agree that is a fiddly piece to work on...but looks great when done. Yours looks great. I put a light on that cross brace right above the spout on mine, ran the wires right down the side bracing.....really like your brickwork...
i built a cradle at the same pitch as the truss so i could finish shingling the roof off of the model, then i took it outside for some natural light shots. i ordered some leds two days ago and once i get them i'll install them, glue the roof down and this baby is finished. what a great kit this is!
thanks everyone. i have to agree with brett. i this is my best one so far. i really loved working on this kit. yesterday i took an 8" long 1/8" drill bit and drilled a hole in the corner just inside the large door. then i ran up to the liquor store and bought some collins straws that are 1/8" and i managed to get the straw inserted in the hole ready for the leds.
Some terrific job Kev!...Should be proud of this one. Dude!...cover up that purple shaggy base edge...looks like you chewed it off! lol....
hopefully when it's all said and done this is gonna slide ride into place next to the woodcutter's shack and you won't be able to see where i gnawed the foam...
Actually, I pretty much like that one side of the “chewed up” edge of foam….paint that up just so and I swear it could pass for a rock retaining wall terry

only two things left to do. the lighting and the roof.
As Art mentioned the bricks (and stone) look great too.
