[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br /><br />I've been building structure kits lately. Most recently I built a couple Suydam cardboard and wood kits and now I'm working on a plastic engine house. The wood paper kit look great for wood, but for brick you almost have to have plastic I'm thinking. The level of detail on the plastic is greater. <br /> <br />Now I've been collecting Muir, Suydam and Campbell kits, when I can get them for less than 50% Walther's, and because for the 1800's only the craftsman kits seem to make the types of buildings I'm looking for. I also have a couple Magnuson (sp) and DPM buildings for my future cities. <br /> <br />What do you think of the wood craftsman kits. Am I right that the plastic technology outshines the old wood kits? <br /> <br />What do you like and why? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I have no problem with plastic. Wood kits have always been so expensive and you have to use wood glue that takes a while to dry. As for brick. I learned a trick by accident a while back that you can spray it with dull coat and the dull coat will turn white between the bricks which looks like morter... <br /> <br />trainluver1
