Been watching Jason Jensen videos. In the "Building a City Street Scene" episode, he shows at the 30:00 mark how after building a wall from a kit (painted, weathered, windows completely) he downloads a scan to his computer and from there makes color corrections etc. then glues onto cardstock and can customize structures to fit available spaces. I'm a computer idiot (71 y.o) but asking for suggestions as to how this is best accomplished with regards to good programs and/or  tutorials as how to get started.

That's an interesting approach to what is often called the "photo lamination" technique. I'm working on a series of videos right now to be released in the next few months on TMTV that deal with these kind of projects. The computer program that I use is relatively inexpensive and is called "Affinity Photo". Might be worth checking into.........lots still left to do on my end but the first video is in the can and being edited now. 

PS. Don't be worried about being a 71 YO computer idiot as I'm one year up on you and use computers in a pretty basic way....my hope is to explain things so "mature" folk like us can bumble our way through the computer ethos enjoying  the journey and actually build some cool structures.
