I try my best to make it look like the real deal.

Doing N scale, I can't really get myself to achieve that Lilliputian comfort, but I am trying.

I love building kits but I don't paint much. Although I'm trying to get my hands on a lot of cheap cars on ebay to start practicing the weathering[dinner] and the strip-and-repaint technique [dinner].

I just buy RTR so far and run them as is.

I am just getting started so this is more what I plan than anything else but I voted paint and weather. Working in N scale I don't know yet how much detailing I could do or would want to do so I didn't go that far. Maybe someday.

Not that I'm a pro at it, but I "try" to paint, weather and detail everything to look as close to the real thing as possible.
