Good day,

Scratchbuilding materials, especially wood, like clapboard siding and scale lumber is not easily available in South Africa.  I would like to try my hand on some scratchbuilding of wooden structures - probably start out with a smaller farmhouse or something - I model in HO scale.  I can now get hold of some Midwest Products #4450 clapboard siding, which has the 0.125" spacing.  Is this a good type of clapboard (spacing) to have for typical 1940/50s wooden type buildings (houses, rural commercial buildings, etc.)?

Best Regards

Well,

I liked the multiple sequels but disappointed with Hollywood laziness and the never ending sequel runs... I had finally given up on watching or buying anymore Transformer movies.

That was until I saw the boxed set for $15 which included a Blu-Ray (I mean who buys those anymore with 4k?) of Transformers, The Last Knight, a 1/64 scale Bumble Bee and what looks to me a close to 1/87 Optimus Prime ! Yes !!!

I have a couple questions concerning HO Micro Engineering deck girder bridges and CC Crow piers/abutments.

Who knows how these things are supposed to look? I mean Micro-Engineering makes some great ones that are easy to use. This Walthers kit obviously has numerous other choices, but I have no idea how to use them. In other words, which pieces should be combined to make a shoe?

Does anyone have pictures of the shoes they have made from this kit?

Thanks!
