Great model of a historic treasure. You are doing a good job of selecting varied buildings to be modeled. What's next?

Elliot, I still have the Fairbanks house yet to convert but it's pretty complex and may only appeal to the most dedicated of modelers.
I'm really debating internally whether or not to do it, It would be the last of the six to be converted and then I can move on to new releases.

Elliot, if I moved straight to new releases, I'm leaning towards the 1842 Inn in Macon Georgia, a Greek revival mansion, as the name implies was constructed in 1842 using slave labor, it's framing is of eight inch timbers held together with wooden pegs, as strong today as day it was built.

That would be an interesting model, imho. Buildings constructed like that are all too rare these days. (I mean constructed out of 8" timbers w/ wooden pegs. Although I suppose buildings erected w/slave labor are rare these days too, except as historic register and museum pieces.)
