Hmmm...it seems, out of ignorance of how contests are conducted here, I've placed myself at something of a disadvantage. Until last week, after it was pointed ot to me to do so, it hadn't occurred to me to look at all those other builder's-related posts that chronicled their individual progress. I had thought the challenge was simply a "choose your subject, build it, and eventually show your results" affair, not illustrate the project in progress and then the finished product. Oh well.
Anyway, I have no photos of the construction stages to show, only one illustrating the finished product. So...just for the sake of demonstrating that I met the challenge I accepted earlier, I'll show the culmination of my efforts below.
For the record, I accepted Challenge #2 as originally posted, to build a commercial kit with a finished appearance as close to the manufacturer's illustration as possible. My kit choice was Bar Mill's Shipyard Brewery. The only significant departure I made from the box illustration was to paint the building's cupola the same color as the body of the structure, instead of white. The spot for it to go on the layout isn't ready yet so it rests on a small diorama base for the moment. The model was shot out-of-doors in full sunlight.
