4.What materials are your model buildings usually made of?
5.Does the difficulty of a piece affect your decision to buy a kit?
6.What is your favourite piece in your collection and why?
7.Do you look for a specific time period in your model buildings?
8.What are any websites or places you buy your model buildings from that you could recommend?
9.How long have you been making buildings for and why does it interest you?
10.What setting is your railway? eg rural or urban. |
1/ OO or 4mm
2/ good one how much does 15 pieces of A4 paper and printer ink cost about 15p I know my largest building a 5 road Engine shed for 10 loco's cost 20p
3/ I design and make my own unless there is one that is of the correct railway company design or regional design
4/ paper and card
5/ don't buy kits just texture sheets
6/ my engine shed and carriage shed
7/ the 1950/60's
8/ Scale scenes and Railway Scenics
9/ 5 years best reason they cost less and can be made as detailed as needed so ones where only the roof is visible that's where the detail is
10/ rural at one end and urban/industrial at the other
