| Bob, that is a very nice safe kit indeed. And your paint job shows it off very well. |

Bob, I thought at your age now,that you would have no use for a safe.
All kidding aside the safe looks at home inside this new telegraph office.

Looks great! I like the floor treatment, and the colors of the walls/trim.

Bruce, Greg, Ray, Thanks again for your comments.
While waiting for that telegrapher to come in I mounted the structure on a small base do that
I could add a small section of sidewalk (another casting from a previous structure) and
added that figure I coverted into a 1940's era mailman. I don't know if he'll stay there but I
wanted to pose him there right now.
This also gave me the chance to get outside for a couple of photos and the colors are much more
as they are to the eye. Someday I might become a photographer, maybe.

While waiting for that telegrapher to arrive I have been working on making all sorts of small
details such as posters, books, telegraph forms,etc.etc.etc. I also finished the roof by
adding vent pipes, roof vents, and a roof access door.
It seems that every railroad station and telegraph office had a Regulator Clock. Here's
how I made mine. To be in strict order the clear piece and the one to it's right must be exchanged.

The roof looks great Bob! as does your clock sandwich.
There is one more thing you could add to the roof.
How about a carrier pigeon with a little band around his leg.

That pic of your building interior with the safe sitting alone in the corner, brought to mind an old bank vault I saw inside the ruins of an old bank, in the little town of Manhattan, NV. Here's the outside of the vault:
Here's the interior, with a side view of the safe sitting in the corner:
And here's the front of the safe. The main door is missing, and the interior door is damaged from someone trying to cut through it with a torch:
Sorry for the brief side trip from your topic, I hope you won't mind.

Sorry for not posting Bob, (I am guilty here of the one thing I don't like). [:-banghead]
I have been taking a look from time to time, and I must say you are a master and outstanding scratchbuilder from the structures and items you produce.
My hats off to you:  |
