I purchased this kit over a year ago for $5 from a LHS that was closing.  I finally found a spot and some time to put together.   NATRON is my son Nate and me (Ron).  I'm a sloppy model builder, so this called for weathering to hide some mistakes.

Your great work with your son is an inspiration to me. I bought ten AMERITOWNE building kits 10 or so years ago and never built them.  I am now building an O-gauge home layout for enjoyment by my two great-grandsons (Matthew, age 3) and Hudson (age 2).  I recently uncovered the kits from the closet, and the boys can participate in the assembly process and name the buildings, perhaps as:  MATT MANOR (for the apartment house kit) and HUDSON'S HOBBY SHOP (for the store kit).  They might suggest: MEEMA'S MERCANTILE (for the department store).  FYI, "Meema" is southern talk for "grandma."

It is not always the result that is important but the time you spend with your son. I remember modeling with my dad and brother -- My son never really got the model RR bug but we did race 125 and 250 cc dirt bike, boating, fishing and racing on the Hudson on SeaDoo's. New hobby - target and skeet shooting.

Looks great
