Got to allow view of that awesome interior work you’ve done Tom! Roof work is critical being the first thing folks see and you obviously are giving it the attention it deserves.

tom I really like the roofing, both wood and metal. The details look great and you did a nice job with the grimy white paint.

Hey Tom,

Excellent build my friend! Love all the mini scenes with terrific use of the detail parts. I love tanks and that scene you have out front is great. Well done.

Thanks Ray and Brett. Was a fun build. I’m glad I was able to figure out a way to have the entire roof removable to view the interior.

Tom,

Every picture shows amazing modeling by you and all of the excellent details are very nicely done. All of your weathering is excellent, building in and out are a joy to view.

Agree with everyone, great job. I too like the way you have used the details - kind of tidy - but then again not really, and getting a bit out of control. You have found the right way to arrange them!
