    Thanks, Mike and Bob!!

    For the record, I am still working on this project but it's been slow lately. Of course it's still just bricks and if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Or, at least, I have.

      To prove I am still working on this.

      My modeling time has been limited the past 3 weeks or so. But the past few days I have managed to get back up to a blistering snail's pace. I'm at the point where I will need to wrap around the right side. That will not speed things up any.

        I am still working on this...

        Fred, I am relieved to hear this ...how difficult is working with all 4 sides glued together?

        Did you build a cradle of some sort to hold it in position?

        BTW- I really like the look you achieve with your brick method.

          Carl, it's not all that difficult, it's all braced and well glued together. The main down-side is getting the walls at a good viewing angle, when I tip it up to work on the front wall it feels like it's right in my face.

          Thanks!

            God my eyes hurt just looking at at wall. Can't believe how straight/spacing you get these to sit.

            Just wonderful work.

              Fred,

              My hat is off to you, my friend, those bricks look great. Will have to try your method some day.

                Fred,
                Looking very good! You need a small pile of bricks, pile of sand, mixing trough, and some small tools in the picture.

                  Amazing masonry. That's going to be a fine-looking factory building.

                        Still laying bricks Fred. Looks great. You must be a patient man.
                        I do like the staggered sloping roof. Nice feature

                            Fred,
                            Some might of thought you were gold bricking, but you are staying the course.

                              Thanks, Rob, Carl and Scott!! I swear I'll get through this eventually. I'm not used to it taking this long, kind of depressing.

                                Fred,

                                I don't agree, we would never believe you are gold bricking, however, we can't wait to see more.
