Update:

Not a lot to show yet as I do most of my building in the cool of the evening during summer months. I did want to point out while most paper modelers build this kit printed on 11"x17" paper, my new print shop talked me into a size larger as they said it was there "best" cardstock, it is 13"x19"!!
  The lines on the enlargement are getting pretty wide at this size, but the larger parts are nice to handle. I will post a photo of the chimney next to a D20 chimney for size comparison, this is going to be a pretty large model. I have big plans to build the kit a second time with some upgrades harvested from paper model forum, but thought to build a prototype first to see what areas may be problem spots so that my fancy build may turn out the best I can make it. I will make a black paper tube to fit the top of chimney liner about 3" deep so the white interior does not show.
