Are you painting them bricks individually? Spect you have told us in the past, easier to ask than trawl through 188 pages! If yes I admire your dedication, but I admire all your building work. There are too many in our scale that just buy a Piko or Pola kit rather than making the effort you do. Many would cite lack of skills, but no one has inbuilt scratch building skills, they are achieved by doing as you do.

Jon, though I appreciate the sentiment, I do think some people can hone their skills better than others, and some people do have an inbuilt lack of ability, regardless of how much they try.

Yes, I find it works best, for me, I know the daub method, but it doesn't work for me, I lack fine motor skills (due to my cmt) and smash it on..too heavy..thank you

We all have talents , we all have things we simply can not do..I know I can not draw, or use a lathe..I do appreciate others skill in these departments...likewise, I buy ready to run locos,mostly! ..I enjoy the making of the buildings , while running trains
