Ben,

I see nothing wrong with bright colors. My house is bright orange - yes orange with bright yellow doors and window frames. [8D] You would think people would notice a bright orange house, people I know that drive by the house every day never noticed the color until I pointed it out to them.

I did see one other house the same color. It was in the Naples Florida area. I saw it from route 75 south bound.

Here’s to loud colors,

I agree, bright colors just might keep a klutz like me from stepping on a building.

Nice job Benny. I’ve put together the switch tower, after converting it to 1:32 scale. That just involved making the doorways about half an inch shorter, so they measure 7 feet in 1:32 (2 5/8 inches). I cut all the walls down by that much, then trimmed the doors to be the right height. Doors are too wide, but door widths vary a lot in real life. Didn’t fool with the windows, as they are all sizes!

Couldn’t figure out how to post my picture, but I did send it to Colorado Models to include. Do know if they’ve done it yet.
