Thanks for the help. I plan on doing this soon. I'll try to post. pictures.

I want to make a backdrop using building pictures. I want to however make them appear different distances from the background scene. How do you go about doing it. The flats will be attached to the background scene.

Thanks, I'll try a couple and let you know how they turn out. Jim

I would like to make some buildings to put up on a city scene layout, such as small business', homes, and maybe a few medium to large business'.

I don't have any building programs as such. I do have access to paint and sketch-up. I don't know if that's any help.

I'm wondering if anyone could do a instructional tutorial on how to take a set of photo's and turn them into a structure? Thanks Jim

I want to start making some buildings for a layout I'm planning on doing in the somewhat near future. I'd like to build in styrene and am looking for ideas on what pieces I should keep on hand. What materials do you keep on hand? Jim

I've been a member for at least 6 years, but this is my first post. I thought it was about time I said Hi. I was born in Milwaukee but now live in Wyoming. From out my kitchen I can see the UP go by. I can also see The Sinclair refinery. I've been wanting to model this setting, but wouldn't...

Chainlink Fence The fence is really good can't wait to see how you did it.

I had to go to the VA in Milwaukee on Friday to visit my cardiologist, and on the way home we stop at the Walmart in Franklin. Usually shopping is not my idea of fun but, as I was looking around the toy car aisle I ran across some HO scale cars. The cost was only $2.49 each. So I had to buy...

VA Hospitals I agree with you 100 percent about the VA and the service I have received from there. I have been an inpatient and outpatient at the VA hospitals in North Chicago, Milwaukee and Hines and they have provided care and treatment better than most non-government hospitals I have been...

I recently found some drawings for some rolling stock and would like to know if someone could tell me to build the trucksand couplers or how do I go about picking out the right ones from the Walther's catalogue. I think I would prefer making them though. Thanks and God Bless Jim

Thanks Thanks to all who made the changes possible. I think it will be a very possitive change once the kinks are taken care of. God Bless Jim

Thanks for the info. The Website looks like it will be a big help. I haven't tried the Testors brand of glue yet but I will. Jim

I bought a package of soldiers at the dollar store. I thought it would be easy to rearrange their bodies a little through some plastic surgery (pun intended,) but it won't hold with plastic model cement or super glue. Does anyone know what I can use to glue them together? I thought of trying...

I have a couple of books by Dover Publications that have various card stock city buildings and I was wondering if anyone has tried to use these or something similar to put on a backdrop. I'm afraid that if I use them on a backdrop it will look too flat and I want it to look more 3-d. I'm sure...

Jim, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your post, but I've been in and out of the hospital for the last month. Yes, the plans I'm looking for are the one's from the old magazines. I thought it would be fun and interesting to build some cars from scratch. Thanks, Jim Schultz

I have two questions that I am hoping someone could help me with. Last week while I was in downtown Zion, Il getting my two sons bikes fixed, I noticed that right next to the bike shop is a Model Railroad club. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this club and maybe any info on how to...

I was reading the thread the other day having to do with useful web sites and the one for cardstock buildings caught my attention. As I was looking it over I noticed there were a few printouts also for vehicles. I'm wondering if any has tried to size them to scale and use them on their layout...
