This model is just one of a range of 4mm to the foot scale resin cast buildings that are designed to help you create all sorts of interesting scenarios on your layout. Whether terrain, building, boat, vehicle or small detail accessory you are sure to find lots of unique pieces in this collection of scale miniatures. As a keen railway modeller myself, I understand the importance of accuracy and realism in models for historical and contemporary settings plus the need for speed from purchase to track side. I have strived to make as many of my models as I can requiring no assembly. Some do, but here I have tried to keep the parts to as few pieces as possible. All are supplied unpainted giving you the opportunity to personalise it with a paint scheme that fits your own era and theme. The final look is up to you.
The ‘IN ACTION’ images of this model are included here in order to give you some ideas for setting the scene on your own model railway or wargaming table. Many of the other items in the photographs are also produced by me and are available here from this site. The majority of the painting and detailing work was done using mainly acrylic paints due to their fast drying time. The process is to wash the resin model in warm soapy water to remove any traces of the silicone mould release agent. This will aid good paint adhesion. Next I recommend a primer, but I don’t bother unless the model will be subject to a lot of handling. After applying the main colours I then use a dark wash to increase the contrast and once dry a quick ‘dry brush’ with a lighter shade to pick up the raised details. Finally a spray or brush matt varnish for protection."- Stuart
