Hi Joe, the bowling alley looks like a fun structure to have on your layout!
Maybe the copper on the roof is keeping an eye on the gutters
I know for sure i'll be getting one.
Congratulations to Jim on his win.

Hi Joe,
Well the bowling alley is really coming along, I love the entrance and the stucco looks great as well. I hope you are able to get this unique structure ready in time for CSS09. I look forward to seeing it in person,keep up the great work Joe!

Hi Joe, you just keep bowling strikes! Yes I know you think my puns belong in the gutter. No really, I love how this kit is coming together.
Spare us the details of this , so called "NEW" front entrance, and just show us a picture now!

Hi Joe, I really like what what you have done so far in design. But when it comes to stucco I think you should try the Durham's water putty. I have used this product before and have achieved convincing results. I think the Poly filler looks kinda like ....[forgive me Joe] icing on a cake spread with...

Hi Joe, Well I have said it before, so I will say it again, This is one sweet looking Kit! I think that you and Kirk have produced Full Steam Aheads finest kit to date. This one has so many possibilities it's exciting to think about. And with only 100 kits being produced I am certain this one will s...

Hi Joe, I think you should get JimmyG to show you the ropes.

How much longer before I can put my hand...

Hello Joe, I think the brackets for your overhangs look great! So tell me does Troels Kirk just run the cannery, or does he have a fleet of fishing boats as well ? And if he does have a fleet of boats should we not address him as "Captain Kirk" :lol: Sorry you know me and when the opportun...

Hi Joe, well you and Kirk have done a fantastic job on your design.I think this will be your best kit to date,it has so many wonderful possibilities I can't wait to get my hands on this one. My only question is will it all fit into your wonderful wooden boxes ? Without it looking like a can of sardi...

Hey Joe , I really like your new cannery. I also think having the two buildings opens a lot of possibilities for changing things up from the normal build.
Are you going to include shingles in this kit if one wants to shingle the exterior?.Also when do you hope to have this kit ready?.

Hey Joe, your Ridgeway station looks fantastic !!!!!!!. All except the round roof end. Looks like you had one too many with Jimmy G when you did that part. When you take that outside to take photo's of it you will be hard pressed to tell that was a model and not the real thing. Just some outstanding...
