You have truly captured the look of the prototype....Very nice modeling...i am interested in your use of foam core for the base of the building...What thickness do you use?...Cox 47

I just love this one.  This is the kind of model that only a craftsman can build.  It's going to be a great addition to your layout.  Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks for the very kind words, guys.... You know, this is a lively building. It always looks different. On the layout the colors are very subdued. Must be the lighting....

That foam core, is 3/16" thick. It is good to frame with, you can score one side and snap it, ala drywall, and have a nice angle. By the way... the roof sub-structure was cut from a floor tile. That works good because of the self adhesive backing works for good placement. The siding is little squares of wallpaper samples from Target. I wonder if the cashier wondered why I needed 20 of the same samples? The roof is covered with a rubber-like shelf liner from Lowes.

Just a couple more in the sunlight;

THANKS so much for taking a peek,

Howdy!

So here's how it all looks on the layout;

 

 

 

 

 

I freshed up the landscaping a bit, too.

 

 

Thanks for taking a peek. CHEERS!

Hate to say it Ken but you bear as slight resemblance to him, though he looks a tad younger than ya!

Looks good. It has a lot of detail without being overdone, unlike some other models I've seen.

I was recently in Gaines to do some railfanning(We chased a BNSF GP60M, SD40-2, and a UP ACe over from Durand) I took a quick look at the Cannery and it looks great. I even found the sagging roof to be perfect. Great Job Kyle
