Excellent work Charlie! How much did you pay to have that made for you by Shamus? The shipping costs must have been pretty high! 
I tried doing something like that once. I got past the first step (Buy the kit) and second step (Open the box) with no problem. The third step (Assembly) was a little difficult but I was able to move on to step 4 (Stomp the kit into smithereens out of pure frustration). However, I never took pictures (a good thing) and that building is no longer with me (the trash company came by last Friday). Maybe I'll try more kitbashing later on...

Charlie that is an other excellent piece of work my friend! You can see other uses (and how to do it) for kits like I only wish I could. BTW don't forget a dawg or two on and under the porch!

I love it Charlie but shouldn't granmaw be riding shotgun on the porch?
I like your presentation of the project too, should get a few members drooling to try their hand at the bashing thingie.

BDC, you're killin' me- at my house that's called giving it the stomp of approval!!
Hey Charlie, what made you think of that little sparkin' scene? Looks like it might have come from personal experience!!!
Wonderful job! That's the kind of thing that brings a layout to life!

Charlie,
There are a lot of buildings out there that "just growed". An addition this year, another ten years later. You got that look! Nice job!

Beautifully Done!
What a super job with a kit to which I never even paid a second glance.
Please be sure to post a picture (or eight) when you've incorporated the house into a diorama, or on your layout. I can just see a rusty old pickup truck up on blocks, and all sorts of miscellaneous junk about, maybe a tire swing, etc.

Old man Knudson says that's pretty dagummed good. One thing folks who are sheepish about kitbashing might take note of it the improvements of the paint job alone. Left as a church, but painted this way, it would no longer look plasticy.
That's a neat idea. I would never think to make a church into a house like that.
Nice work. Great idea.
