<p>I visited one of the other local hobby shops and picked up a Smalltown USA kit. The Hardware Store. Cheap, basic and nothing special about it. I also picked up some glue recommended by the man behind the counter. A little bottle called PlastiZap. </p><p> But before I glue it together, I believe I want to prep the plastic and paint it first. With that said, I have some questions.</p><p>1. Is there a website on how to paint and detail buildings?</p><p>2. Besides a hobby knife and the glue, what supplies will I need to get into this? What are the basic must haves I will use on every kit I build. I just don't want to pick something up that I will not use at all.</p><p>3. Any suggestions?</p><p> </p><p>I also picked up the 2008 WALTHERS catalog. The shop I visited was called Just 4 fun in the Frandor mall in Lansing. It's rather small, not much in the way of selection for trains, but the stuff they did have was a bit better quality of the store I visited the other day, where I picked up my few peices of track and roadbed... Anyways, I was happy, they deal with walthers, they will be able to order stuff when I need it. I know I can order stuff online, and most likely will, but If I m not in a big yank for it, Ill let the LHS make a profit...</p><p> </p><p>Ken</p>
