Mackenzie milling co - FSM kit 215

[EricQuebec]

Hi all,
I've finish last week the Mackenzie milling  FSM kit 215, but I was unable since the last upgrade to post anything on the forum. It seem that this problem was resolve, so here's a brief story of the assembly of this kit and a lot of pictures.
I've bought this kit there's few years ago after seeing the beautiful work that our friend John Siekirk made with it.
Unfortunately in the kit I've bought, some original casting were remplace by poor casting (the two chimney) and some are lack (some windows). So, I've scratchbuild all these pieces with Tichy windows, and some Monstermodel Brickwork. I keep the jordan vehicle for an other use, and scratchbuild the truck with some Home resin casting  (from my father) from wheelworks model, spare part from jordan model, some piece of evergreen styrene and B.E.S.T casting.
The scenery of this kit was very funny to do and I think contribue to a large part of the beauty of the model.
Here's the pictures

Note on posting:   Most of my problems went a way when I sent lower resolution pictures to the forum.  The forum with the old server was lowering the resolution before they were stored in the gallery.  It looks like the new server software is asking us to input less than 4.77 M files.  This means you have to run even iPhone pictures through a preprocessor to get the size down. I'm using the software provided with Photos on my Apple devices. I hope this helps with your posting.  I love all the great work and pictures that you are posting.
