This was my first craftsman kit build. Figured I better start small. This is the Ragg's to Riches small boiler house. I made some mistakes, I mean learning experiences, but it was a fun build. Probably took less than 10 hours start to finish. I have some larger, more complex kits waiting in the wings.

Nice Build. I like the lifted shingle effect along with the weathering and added details. Once you get over the shock of opening the box if your new to these. I find them really relaxing to do and one of the enjoyable things you can do in the hobby.
Looks like a good job on the model. Like you, I began with simple craftsman kits and then progressed to more complex ones. Eventually, you will try scratch building. It's a very rewarding part if the hobby.

Yeah I agree, opening the box of a big kit is intimidating, but once you get into it your mind is clear of everything else.
Awesome, I like it! One of my fav parts of the hobby is building craftsman kits. It’s been a while, don’t have a layout now and switched to standard gauge. I still have my sawmill & blacksmith shop in a closet. And like was mentioned getting into scratch building is a lot of fun also. Maybe I will have to scratch build some standard gauge buildings when I get my layout built. Love your layout, keep going & have fun!
