Best way to build Walther's Modern Fire Escape
Hey modelers,
I'd like to hear from someone that has built Walthers modern fire escape in the zig zag pattern. I am having a difficult time keeping the ladders at the correct angle, keeping the ladders in line with the platforms, the platforms level with the ground and then being able to glue them together. The instructions are super minimalist, and not much help. Has anyone had success on this. I have searched the internet with no luck.
Appreciate your help.
Superleaf scale leaves
It looks like something I want to try. Could some of you post your experiences with this product. In my part of the world (Pacific Northwest) blackberry bushes are common just about everywhere. I am thinking some light furnace filter material with superleaf would look acceptable.
Sealing hard wood
I need to seal a segment of the cabinet grade plywood that makes up the frame of my layout, so it can be painted as water. What do you recommend for sealing?
Krylon H2O Latex spray paint
Has anyone had any luck finding this paint? It was recommended by Joe in his tree making chapter from his video series. It seems like it's been discontinued.
If that's the case, does anybody know of a similar alternative? That is, a water-based spray paint either latex or acrylic.
Thanks,
Bill
Materials suggestion?
Hi all,
Im making a version of a building for my layout, and I've run in to a snag in terms of what material to use to simulate the finish on the outside of the building.
From what i can see on google streetview, the building has some sort of very fine corrugation on it
Vendor Suggestion for Scratch Building Structure Components
Planning to scratch build a large food processing plant, (roughly 4ft by 2 ft footprint), and have looked at DPM's building module products.
Based on the size, going with DPM could get a little pricey. Looking for suggestions on other recommended vendors who sale building components such as walls, windows, cargo doors, etc...

Flour Mill Kitbash
I took a break from paper mill work this weekend to finish an old kitbash I started 20 some years ago. I used 2 Red Wing Milling kits to create a 23 inch long building designed to sit against the backdrop on a layout. I just never had one with the space to use this stinker until the Idaho Belt came along.

Unidentified craft
Does anyone recognise these two kits? I would like to collect the other boats in the range (there were two other versions) but I cannot find any identification for the manufacturer (the seller has replaced them with their own, and no, they haven't got any in their webstore.)

Limits of the Cricut cutter
I am having trouble getting a good picture but I hope this gives you the idea. I tried pushing the Cricut to its limits by building a door out of 3 layers of cardstock. Thin styrene would be similar. I am a little disappointed in the squareness of the cuts. Serviceable but no replacement for a Grandt Line door. I'll post the pic in the comments.
