Yep. Tried again - PM system says message accepted, but it doesn't show up in "sent."

I sent the multiple views in an e-mail to martinwb - it bounced back. If you either shoot me an e-mail, or disguise your e-mail here, or try a PM, I will get the pictures off to you.

Thanks! Paper product for rusted corrugated roofing is good stuff!

Thanks! All the details fill the canvas neatly.

There's actually a prototype in Fannetsburg, PA that I have loosely adapted that had that corner entry. It also has a very rusty metal roof.

That's nice! I don't know the prototype, but it's striking building and your colors compliment each other. Thin muttins, nice glazing, shingle roof.....what's not to like.

Bob had posted a photo of this that was an older kit structure. I liked it a lot! He sent me more photos....and I got to work building!
