NoirGuru ...Do you have pictures of your buildings. Styrene is cheap and easy to use.Like anything takes a bit of patience. I have a post on the Back 40 agriculture topic you might find amusing . Poor mans building ..Cardboard |

Sorry Jim I haven't had any pictures of my buildings, except for a quick one made recently before my move. This can be seen here: http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/6704362/1/?x=90 It was more of an experiment than it was to be a "lasting model". Then again, most of mine were like that since I never had the space to keep them. The advantage to paper is that you can print textures and patterns to the paper, to make it look authentic. |

Very nice work the building reminds me of a Mercedes building in our area. Now that is something i would not have the patience to do.l.o.l. It does show that there are many ways to display a little car.With the little visitors we have every weekend it is hard enough to keep plastic ones together .The paper ones would look good in a display case .Safe from little hands l.o.l. |
