You are a brave soul to perch that house on the deck rail. 
Beautiful work.
Bob
Thank you very much fellas. I have to make a screen door for the front and the model will be complete.
Bob,
I thought about the wind blowing it off the handrail while I took the picture so I decided to set it on the beach.
Here is the last 1 percent. I had to scratch build the front screen door. Thank you for all your nice comments.

Al, could you describe in more detail how you did the detail work on that wonderful screen door? You could do it off line if you wish.
I agree with Myles! That screen door is fabulous!
Myles/Mark,
I used the screen door insert that was part og the original door and removed the bottom two vertical bars that existed. I reinstalled one in the middle. I found some HO parts from some old kits I had. The horizontal piece with the x patterns was a structural beam. The two circles were spoked wheels that I added styrene strips to create crosses to attach them to the door. I added Grandt Line porch trim pieces to the top corners. I then took two pieces of fiberglass screen material and overlapped them to create smaller squares. This matched the actual screen door pretty closely.
There is always a hundred different ways you can make these small details. I will forget what I did here and reinvent the wheel again on the next model.
You guys made the last one percent count.
Alan, all I can say is Thank You for bring us along on this amazing build. Just excellent and amazing to watch.
Tom
As if the the whole house wasn't magnificent enough you had to go way above and beyond fabricating that screen door. I hope the client really appreciates the last 1%.
Fantastic work!
Amazing.
