    Time to start an actual thread instead of filling up the layout section.

    So continuing with the house from my old New York and Pennsylvania in the layout section.

    This first house is is dedicated to RGW Micheal.

    So onto the pics.

    I'm getting the rear wall done after scratching another big window frame for the kitchen after finding a small Tichy window for the throne room.

    Enjoy as I'll be starting on the interior and porch soon.

    Nice Vince, I definitely need to get back to building like that! I have the floor plan of the Catoosa Oklahoma Frisco Station, I’ve had thoughts of doing that for a while.

    So here's a minor update on Michael's place lol.

    The bathroom window from tichy is a 2 piece part.

    Well I made it a 3 part piece using a 2nd window frame.

    As you'll see in the pics it's going to be partly cracked/open.

    I haven't glued the 3rd frame in yet as I have to paint it add some clear material for the glass then add the open frame.

    Test fit in the house.

    More to follow enjoy till then.

    Final update for the night all enjoy.

    Added a roof support on the front porch side.

    Added the roof cross supports also.

    Somewhere it got a little angle shift in the build and only way to correct it is to start over.

    So this will not be to noticeable when done.

    As the floor will take a lot of it out oh well live and learn.

    Also did a roof test with my test sheet I use for testing paints before painting.

    Still a work in progress.

    Night all.

    Dale I plan on using better plastic and another friend said he'd print up decal shingles from proto roofs.

    Just to add a little extra when I get to that point.

    Off to finish up a BN whiteface n scale GP40-2 for another modeler.

    Toodles.

    Ordering direct from Tichy now got a few window item's for Dale's place.

    Still waiting on the mail to deliver the rest of the part's for Michaels place so I can continue with getting Michaels place done.

    New windows are kinda cool as they come with clear glass and shades.
