Model Building Kits??
Posted by Frank53 on Monday, January 24, 2005 8:48 PM
As i continuously sketch and plot and plan my new layout, I am thinking about the building scenes I will incorporate. I have seen a number of pre-built building, which I believe are made by MTH and these are not of interest to me. I am more interested in building model kits and having some latitude to paint and modify as I want.

I am not nearly talented enough, nor do I have the time it would take to scratchbuilt many items, but I would be able to take some "kits" and make additions or reorient to scenes of interest.

I could use a few links to manufacturers to see what's available and start to think this thing through, so I can be sure to allocate space and take advantage of scenic opportunities.

Any help is appreciated.

You can click on Shopping at the top of this page, then click on Manufacturer Links. This takes you to a page of link organized by type and you can scroll down to the structures section.

Enjoy

Try Walthers, Frank. A Small selection, but good instructions and easy to build.
