I recently picked up a an old Bekins Storage building kit, that I'm going to build as a large background flat.  This is an cardstock type kit and I was wondering what it should be sealed with.  Is paint on both sides of the cardstock good enough, or is there a specific product?   Did a quick search of the MRH website, and the couple of articles I scanned didn't mention sealing, or I missed it...lol.

I have noticed a very odd trend here and in many other forms of online forums. 

Poster asks a specific and direct technical question = very little response

Poster asks a vague question with more of an opinion base = al lot of response, and lot of argument. 

Interesting phenomenon in the internet age. 

What do I take from this. .. If you have a technical question about modeling insert something subjective.

(Example)

I figured out how to do the lighting, for someone who knows nothing about this, thats quite an accomplishment. I also build some industrial shelves then raid ebay and the surplus parts for interior details.

I recently acquired a dock piece from a local hobby shop for my 1/87th scale collection, and I realized that I could have some neat uses for it.  I’m planning on designing some wall pieces to fit around the outsides of it to look more like a building, and I plan on using it as a second or third floor loading/unloading dock or elevated railway station for a High Line that runs in a fictional city my railway serves.  Any advice or opinions?
