    I just had to use that funky bag of LED's and ended up getting a UV Blue one upstairs:

    I got tired and hungry, so I don't want to assemble any more windows. That's all of my modeling adventures for today.

    WOW!!! That is amazing. You've even included the covered stairs. They need to put a LOVE button on here. Where do you find the time? Thanks for painting it white. It will be getting the "other side of the tracks" look. If you have ever been to Boston and eaten oysters at The Union Oyster House on Union St. near Faneuil Hall, the Capen House was a couple of doors down at Marshall St. There used to be many other quirky-shaped buildings in Boston but they are disappearing faster than my hair. Please PM me about a fair deal for your work. You are a real master and this will be a highlight of my "street." I discovered a "Lew Scroos" kit in my bag of working materials. I bought some of those just for the parts. I didn't know that was you. Thanks again. Jim

    Too bad it wasn't a red LED. It would have been more prototypical. :)

    I love your Capen house and I can honestly say it rang with familiarity for me as a guy from New England and specifically the Boston area. Blue on white and those multiple pane shop windows just feel like home and close to the water ;)

    Hi, Bryan. That was amazing. Not much more than a week ago. I thought I'd be pleasantly surprised in a couple of months when it would arrive. Now to see it is done is amazing. My hat is off to you Robert. This is how legends are made. Jim

    With houseguests finally back in Hawaii, I can get back to work. Today while the decal application on my S2 shell was drying, I finished installing the windows on the Capen House, now I have to order some priority mail boxes so I can ship it out to it's happy owner:

    Thanks, Robert. It will be like having Christmas twice a year. You really nailed it. Right down to the curtain blowing out the window! I have some goodies for you. Impressive output. The loco is stunning. Jim
