    I love the kits Brett provides and have built a few with quite a few to go.
    Here are a few select pics of the railroad camp, hopefully the pictures are included in the post (another learning curve)

    Well Dave,
    I've had a chance to thoroughly enjoy your pics on my larger screen and I can unashamedly say .....

    "Wow! that is some great modelling".

    I would have argued that it was O scale if I didnt know the truth, very nice work!!

    Weathering, details, scenery... all top 'notch'.

    I always liked the look of the RR Camp kit. Dave's done a first rate job with it. The color tones and blending are excellent. Did you use the paints Brett recommends?

    Hi Malcolm
    thanks , the basic stain colors follow Bretts instructions pretty much with some variation. I didn't have some of the colors he recommends so substituted similar paints and stains.
    I overdid the weathering on the barn with the coffee sign and used a razorblade to scrape most of it back, leaving the heavier weathering at the top of the walls.
    I changed the shed attached to the 2 story building by painting the walls a green color and adding a tin roof.
    My method is to play around adding stains etc until I come up a look I like. It varies with every building I make and I don't think any two have every looked alike.
    I have attached a couple more photos , one showing the original layout prior to scenery and detailing, the truck is a Jordan highway miniatures they make nice looking models.
