Rick Horn, one of our members, inherited an old club module and was asked to rebuild it in time for the 2012 Chrysler Museum layout. Here is a short photographic journal of his module from start to finish.
Rick is in the process of rebuilding the module with a new theme for our 2014 layout at the Rochester Hills Museum at the Van Hoosen Farm. Watch this page for more updates on his module.
