I've learned some good techniques from the militaty modelers, especially ageing and weathering tricks.

If you have time, take a look at some of the techniques shown here:

Thank you.

I have been model railroading for over 55 years but I try to keep an open mind when it comes to my modeling. I recently was cruising Barnes & Noble for the monthly magazines when I discovered this gem. I also like plastic ship models and have a couple 1/350 WWII ships waiting for "someday".

Fine Scale Modeler magazine has a great book out that has a lot of tricks and helpful techniques we can apply to our choochoo's too. It's called Build Better Ship Models and is well worth looking in to.

Just thought I'd point this out to you guys. I'm just a modeler and don't work for the company.
