I'm thinking of getting a Downtown Deco kit to fill a particular space on my layout. Since I've never built one of these, I was wondering if anyone has any tips, warnings, etc? Pics are nice, too, of course. Thanks.

What you get is plain, white, unpainted Hydrocal castings. A lot of filing and trimming of the corners is necessary to insure they are square. Clamping of the corners while the adhesive sets is also highly advisable. I used Goop or yellow carpenter's glue to assemble mine. A seal coat before painting helps because the Hydrocal will soak up a lot of paint.
