On the Back Cover
Scenery and trains are important features on a model railroad, but it's the structures and details that bring a layout to life.
This book includes 17 step-by-step projects from the pages of Model Railroader magazine that show you how to go beyond the basics of building structures. You'll find valuable tips on assembling wood and plastic structure kits and learn how to build custom structures using modular components, commercial details such as door and window frames, and textured siding and roofing materials. You'll also learn how to finish buildings with paint and weathering as well as see examples of interior and exterior superdetailing. Although most projects are in HO and N scales, many of the tips and techniques apply to buildings in any scale.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
Work with styrene and wood kits
Build structures from modular components
Paint and weather various types of structures
Modify and kitbash structures to create
unique buildings
Add window and interior detail for greater realism
Scratchbuild structures from raw materials
And more!
