Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Old Model Farm House for Your Railroad

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I share a step-by-step guide to building an old model farm house for your railroad. I am building a farm scene for my layout, and this old farmhouse kit from RSLaserKits is going to fit that scene perfectly. See how I turned this N scale structure kit--a laser cut wood kit--into a realistic old farmhouse. Wood craftsman structures like this are a fun challenge to build. I hope that, through this tutorial, I can inspire you to try one yourself if you have never built one before.

    Thanks for the tip on the micro brush for carpenter glue application, I used tooth picks! The dried glue would come off the plastic micro brush easier, I will make the switch! I will be using this soon! N scale is a Son Of a Gun, to work in! I model ho and S scale! Nice work Ron, I enjoyed the video!

    @@RonsTrainsNThings My dad found a whole N-Scale set with multiple cars, engines, pieces of track, people, trees, and other decore for $150 at a rummage sale. I have since invested a lot into building the scene and adding details. Just starting to lay the track now. I have been using your videos to help and give me inspiration :) I'm 33 and have always wanted to build a model train diorama.

    Ìf you want frosted "glass" use a thinner compatible with the plastic solvent and cut 90% thinner and gently spray, or dry brush, the solution on one side. Put the frosted side on the inside of the window. Be careful with this technique as you can quickly destroy glaźing.

    I would recommend having a variety of sizes on hand, but the ones I used in this video measure 1 3/8".
