Hi train master 1989 <br />For any wood structure even those made of rot resistant timbers I would sugest the same as you would with a wooden real house with one possable exeption and that is to treat the wood with a wood treatment you can paint over ie not creosote. <br />I would sugest good dose of wood treatment prime undercoat then two coats of exterior grade paint. <br />For plastic prime and a couple of coats of good exterior paint I would also sugest painting inside and out in both cases. <br />rembering to repaint every five years or so to keep the protection up <br />thats [2c] <br />The key thing is to remember they are in the real world so you paint your residence for protection do the same thing to your outdoor building models [:)] the plastic ones improve10,000% with a good paint job <br />Thats now 4c worth [:D] <br />regards John
