It's the little things that set one model railroad apart from another. And it's the little things that this book will help you master, bringing your layout to new heights of realism.
Detailing Tips and Techniques provides a full cupboard of ideas for adding realistic detail to your model railroad layout. Reprinted from MODEL RAILROADER magazine, these articles represent a wide range of detailing projects that anyone, beginner and veteran alike, can apply to their layout for immediate results, from modeling scrap and junk to track and roadside signs and billboards, ashpits, weeds, flowers, roofs, and chimneys. You'll also find imaginative pieces on building better bridge abutments, installing lighting to create additional realism and drama, and adding scenery that moves, such as a kite blowing in the wind.
Detailing Tips and Techniques covers the big picture too. It contains sections on planning and building detailed urban scenes, including how to use mirrors to extend layouts, and a thoughtful piece on adapting the principles of fine art to the modeling of a layout to capture a specific mood.
Plus, the last five pages include billboards, signs, and flags you can cut out and add to your layout-now!
Whether you're a beginner or have 20 years of model railroading experience, this book can make the difference-between a model railroad with just track and train or a layout that ignites interest.
