Walthers kit -- need help
I bought an inexpensive Walthers Cornerstone kit many years ago: Dust Collector Accessory #933-3113. There are 2 sprues with parts for 2 dust collectors, but there is no picture of the completed kit and no instructions, just the parts in a plastic bag. The kit isn't offered anymore so I can't get instructions from the website.
My first module - Long overdue update
It's been far too long between updates and there has been a lot of progress.
Firstly there is a stream now.



Scratch built N Scale interlocking tower
Just like my obsession with the freight station that started me down the path of modeling the Pacific Electric in N Scale, the Pacific Electric interlocking towers got stuck in my mind.

Extruded Styrofoam-Compatible Rattle Can Paint
I've started painting my trackwork in Casper yard, which is laid on cork on pink styrofoam.
To begin I've put a general coating of brown over track, cork and foam. I'm using a Rustoleum flat brown.
I've discovered that it is not totally friendly to extruded pink styrofoam. Here's a picture of what I'm getting on the foam:

Any tips for making wood structure kits light tight?
I am wondering if any of you have any neat tricks for making a laser-cut wood structure kit light tight. I am putting together a Blair Line kit and have put in some interior details and some LED interior lighting. When I test fit the various roof panels, they look like perfect fits. But, when I darken the room and turn on the interior lights, there are various places along the roof eaves where light leaks out-- even though with lights off the seam looks tight and true.

Building Barb's Bungalow (Part 1)
Hey everyone, thought I would show the progress on my Atlas Barb's Bungalow kit. The plan for this is to eventually have a full interior and lighting, but in the meantime, the plan is to do the exterior walls and leave the roof removable both for the future interior/lighting and so I can show it off when it's finished.
