Recently I've decided to have another go my self at doing a of an in-progress how-to, sharing some of the techniques I've learned or created as shown on 3 projects from building through priming. Finished versions will be shown later.

The full tutorial with in progress pictures and construction tops is here:

But here are some pics of the 3 projects within

A Power Station made from a Hot Wheels Launcher


Building under construction, made from a toy car parking garage.



Elevated Train Station from a Fisher Price toy.

Great Ideas, and nice looking models, but this isn't a tutoroial you've posted.

Thanks, glad you like them.

It's amazing what a little grey paint can do to add to the Grim-Darkness.

Deathwinger approves

these very cool ideas, a little paint goes a long way
