Project Update: Raglan Road by Bar Mills

My big project I have mentioned earlier is Raglan Road by Bar Mills. The kit consists of four structures. One of them is a factory and is quite big. Although it isn't as big as Sokol's. Smallest structure is more like a shed. Other two are midsize. The kit has been released in 2006 as Limited Run of 400.
I have decided to begin with factory building - Pfefferkorn Furniture Co. Even though I have been working on it for about two weeks already I don't have much to show yet. All this time I have been cutting, sanding, priming, painting, etc. Currently I am working on adding nail heads what is really slow process. I don't like holes that pounce wheel makes so I am adding them two at a time using Monster Modelworks nail head tool.
As one of the first steps instructions call for making of internal support framework. Word of caution. Although your experience may be different I found part number two to be of incorrect shape and most of pre-cut stripwood to be slightly shorter that 5.5". I am glad I caught that quite early and avoided having crooked framework. I didn't get that lucky with part number two. I had it glued in place when I noticed that stripwood wasn't going the way it should have been. The part had to be removed and its shape adjusted. The result is the picture below.
