Karl, Joe had a couple typographical errors. Let me see if I can retype it here:

 

    The floor in the room looks like it is real. Keep posting the pictures. When I get back to the United States on the 3rd of March I will download it
this time so that I have it for sure. I know I have most of the pictures but they are mixed in with others.

 

As for my own comments, your woodworking is fantastic. I particularly like the cabinets. They look so realistic.

I remember this build from the old forum.  I'm glad you brought it back.  Your work is incredible!  Every thing is precise to the smallest detail.

Karl,

I'm so gladdened that you brought your build back to MSW after the crash. I've been simply awed at the craftmanship and artistry, you especially,  and others, display in these types of models . Thanks for sharing your work.

 

Regards,

Brian

Wow, Karl, this is an incredible build. I don't think I saw this the first time around. It's going to take me a while to absorb all that detail on your model. 

 

Do I understand correctly that this is 1:36 scale? And, my apologies if I missed the information, but what wood(s) are you using?

 

Wonderful and inspiring work.

 

Ausgezeichnet!

(Admittedly, I had to look up the spelling)

 

Clare
