Usual quality is equivalent to products from well known European makes ... because they are mostly manufactured in Europe (some kits are manufactured for Walthers by Kibri, for instance). Even instruction sheets are printed on A4 size papers instead of Letter format ! Of course, if you would like to add a realistic look, you will have to paint, weatherise and add some details but that is just like for any other kit. Have fun with that kit ... and please post pictures and report when completed. Pierre.

Experimenting with some broken windows, a bit hard to spot in the picture... Coal tumbling didn't work as I wanted (dust wouldn't stay on [:(]) so I added a wash of Polly Scale Dirt to the windows. An more rust on the steel plates Next step is a wash of black and then I'll airbrush some more 'Dirt' or 'Earth' all over it. When I'm done the coal cars will look too clean next to this Coal Mine...

Is it like the Tamiya body putty ? Good result anyway. I'm also interested in your rust weathering ! What paint do you use, and what procedure ? Looks very realistic ! Congratulations! Bob

Joined: 12/05/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,908 Location: Stockholm, Sweden		For these gaps it was enough with one 'coat'. I use a painters spatula to apply just in the gap (too much filler and it starts to eat away the plastic...). When it's dry I use a fine sand paper. A second application would have made it very smooth, but I want it to look rust attacked I use Polly Scale 'rust'. The rust is applied normally and randomly. After the rust is applied I add water to thin it out. I tried dry brushing at first, but it didn't get into the 'crevaces' the way I wanted... After the rust is in place, I add a wash of flat black (90% water).

Joined: 12/01/2005(UTC) Posts: 703 Location: ,		Ulf, where do you get all those cool paints from? I've been looking around in Norway, but the only reasonable supply of acrylics I can come across (for plastic building kits that is), is the Tamiya series, and they lack quite a few colors I want/need. Also, where'd you get that Humbrol model filler? Just straight from the US, or is there some cool store in Sweden that has all that? ;)

Unfortunatly my layout does not hold space for such a large building, Howerver plans for a scratch built, size adjusted "look alike" is in the planning. Looking forward to see yours in situ at your layout.

After a bit of surgery, the kit will hopefully fit like a glove in a corner of my layout. I just love the things that you can find on the internet! http://trains.com/mrr/default.aspx?c=a&id=1206 Progress on the kitbashing can be found on my webpage when the kit arrives next month.
