Duluth Company
When talking with Brett today about something else I said, "By the way, yesterday I just finished my build of Duluth," and he said he hadn't seen a finished one in a long time. I don't think I've ever seen pictures online of another one built so here are a few I took yesterday. By the way, I love taking pictures in natural sunlight! They were all taken with my iPhone. Three of the four I applied some filtering and all four cropped a little. I like to "frame" the picture when taking it but when built on a base it's easier to crop a little after taking the shot. I also renamed it The Gill Company named after my mom and step-dad's company. I scanned their business card to resize in Photoshop to use on the sign.
It fits perfectly on a spur on the edge of my layout up front! It will be structure number 9 out of 12 for my AP Structures Certificate.

I built the Duluth Co. a long time ago- I think it might have been my first of many SWSM kits (12?). Here are front and back of mine. Most noticeable to me is how far the art of decorating castings has come- thanks to folks like Brett Gallant, Karl Allison, Kevin O'Neill, and Dave Revelia, to name just a few.
