That's how I started doing structure details many years ago - I started with a Pola single stall enginehouse. I removed the rear window and poked my camera lens up to the window and took some inside shots. The shiny plastic walls, no details, and styrene sheets on the windows didn't help the realism much! I think I painted the inside walls with flat paint to make it look less like plastic. To disguise the windows I added very narrow strips of masking tape on the clear styrene, to simulate mullions on the inside. It wasn't the greatest, but it did help. I was aiming for a general disguising of the interior, not doing a complete re-do because there wasn't much room inside. So I scratchbuilt a two-stall enginehouse with the idea of being able to detail the interior and take realistic photos using my 28mm lens with a pinhole aperture that I installed. This setup can result in focus from almost touching the lens to infinity. Here's one of my photos: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/railfan/EngineHouseInterior.jpg[/IMG] (click on photo to enlarge). The enginehouse is about 10 inches from one end to the other. Good luck! Bob Boudreau
