Nice build Jaime, I like it.

Can't wait to see it finished (or as finished as it gets)

Very Nice looking structure. Is there a use and place on Yehudas? or will they all combine together on a module for the show? I liked the Gallery glass info, I have used Canopy Glue and white Glue. I will try the Gallery glue. I'm sure they are all variances of white glues. Nice tip on the window shades too... Keep up the great work.

Geez, I wish I had remembered this was Jeff Grove's company! I did take a look at the kits at Timonium and they looked pretty nice.

Thanks Jim.

I'm also eager to find out how finished I get the kit

The Gallery Glass is quite effective. I had difficulty finding an easier way to get it on though. I have read where using actual glass for glazing is even more realistic. I've yet to try that.

I really don't know yet where this structure will end up.

I hope Timonium was good for the vendors.

Perhaps there are other Carolina Craftsman Kits kits floating about out there getting built just waiting to make it to the forum. I'd like to see the others in a build thread as well.

Jaime,

Very nicely done my friend. I have this kit also and look forward to building it for the layout.

....wow...I'm honored to see this little structure on the forum.....and doubly honored the our '"build thread forum wizard" Jaime is doing it....I have made a few changes to this kit since he started to build it.....
- I am going to add more bracing/foundation material to the kits
- I am going to add more roofing material....Jaime told me he almost ran short....

...I really like the effect he got with the shade dimensioning....I think it makes a huge difference....

...again...thanks

...and in the vein of JimmyD's ever self-promoting....I have these and others...and more coming.....

Another excellent build thread, Jaime!

Jeff has turned out an excellent kit! I just need to get off my lazy butt (trying to take over your title)
and get started on mine (it's gonna be the 'Toadsuck Inn' with 'The Waterman's Tavern' on the bottom floor).

I've just been in a slump for the last couple of weeks and haven't got to the work bench much.

I've been procrastinating on finishing Relph's new office - 'Da Tax Guy'!
Just need to cut and finish the roof and a base for it.

Another day of reading the forum and I should be perked back up again!
