[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TheRockModeler</i> <br /><br />Ok since we are on this topic, is there any source of good 1:29 scratchbuilding supplies, for example brick walls, or metal building walls (like the pikestuff in HO). Or even any modern Industry buildings made in 1:29 that is American (not European) style????? My wife has searched the net and come up with zip. I have a hair brain idea to contact a plastics company and see how much it would cost to have molds made and sell the stuff as a side job. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />RM, <br /> <br />I haven’t found any structure components in 1:29 available from anyone… doors, windows, siding, etc.. If you check the scratch building forum, you’ll see my progress on several 1:29 structures from the pics I’ve posted. I milled the siding myself and modified 1:24 scale doors and windows. I’m lucky as I have the resources to do this. <br /> <br />While still a newcomer to this hobby, my observations tell me that folks need to develop some basic woodworking skills and have the rudiments of a small shop available. Either that, or an unlimited supply of funds available, if anything but a table top layout is envisioned. <br /> <br />With the above in mind, I think doors and windows in 1:29 would be the place to start, if someone wanted to start supplying the hobby with structure parts. Siding and eventually kits could follow. I think the demand is definitely there for GRR structures in 1:29 available over the counter. <br /> <br /> <br />
