IMO, the holiday decorations seem to distract the eye away from the beauty of the structure. Whichever choice you decide to build I know the build will turn out great! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2037 Terrell Fireman Posted - 01/05/2021 :  3:47:54 PM     I vote no.

Regarding the Christmas decorations, I think you could have it both ways. I think at your scale you could have little hooks on the door and frame onto which you hang decorations built with wire armatures. Or build decorations on thin styrene that can be attached with double-sided tape. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 6993 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/05/2021 :  5:01:02 PM     If the decorations are NOT removable on the model, then you are committed to it being a "holiday" piece. IMO- save yourself the trouble- I vote no. Country: USA | Posts: 4077 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/06/2021 :  06:19:21 AM     Thanks for your votes guys, I'm still tabulating your response. Here are the wall sections that will form the back wall of that full width porch area. My next step will be to add the window "glass" and I notice that all windows in the original photo show curtains, which I will also add. The mailbox is made from styrene with flat brass newspaper loops and the lantern was made from a piece of square cross-section clear plastic tubing with the top and bottom made from styrene scraps.

David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2037 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/06/2021 :  2:10:35 PM     Thanks Dave. Well, it looks like the votes are in and it breaks down this way. Yes votes (including mine) = 2. No votes = 3, and go either way votes = 2. So the NO votes are tops but I am still leaning towards the YES because I see it as a challenge. Carl, it would not be a problem to leave it as a holiday piece, Christmas is my favorite time of year and I already have a few Christmas themed models on hand. Besides, by the way I am progressing on this model it might be Christmas before I finish it! I think I will try the Christmas decorations and if I mess it all up those three of you who voted NO can say "I told ya so!!".

I'm convinced that there is nothing that you couldn't build a model of, if you desired to do so. I did like Mike's idea about making the decoration removable if that is possible. Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 8932 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  04:42:03 AM     DRATS!!!!!!! My computer died!!!!! This is being sent from a back-up computer. Mine died and along with it so many photos and posts. I suspect it will be a while before I get everything back up and running. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Country: USA | Posts: 4187 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/10/2021 :  05:52:37 AM       Sorry to hear that, Bob, especially the photos. Country: USA | Posts: 6993 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  07:04:17 AM     Thanks Mike, I think I have most of those backed up except maybe some I was working on recently. I have to get into that yet. The problem is that all the trying to get back up to snuff takes a lot of time away from model building. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Edited by - sgtbob on 01/10/2021 07:05:38 AM Country: USA | Posts: 4187 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  09:47:18 AM     Jumping back and forth between computer repair and model building, here's where I was when my problem happened. Here are the walls glued in place except for the section with the door, that's loosely standing in place. I will decorate that before installation. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Country: USA | Posts: 4187 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  09:54:04 AM     Excellent Bob, as usual... Country: USA | Posts: 4077 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  09:57:12 AM       Bob, WOW...great progress!! I think we all have a love/hate relationship with computers. Nice tools until the stop working!
