HO-scale Building
Re: HO-scale Building
I painted some of the bottom brick XF-62 Olive Drab so now the brick look like they have mold growing on them.
Re: HO-scale Building
Almost finished just need to put glass in windows.
This is what used for grass and low bush's.
I mixed the Green and Yellow grass together and put wood glue down them added the turf into the wet glue.
The low bush's I used the Burnt grass but you once you glue it down you need to put extra glue but half glue and water and a few drops of liquid washing up soap,then use a syringe but one to use has a bent nozzle to put the watered down glue.
Its sold in good model train shops and its Woodland Scenics.

Re: HO-scale Building
Great tips, I might have to try them out one day as well.
Re: HO-scale Building
You have to watch which bag of green grass you get some of it's to bright to use as grass for here, The yellow look's like dead grass once put down.
Some use cheap hair spray to hold it down after you glue it down but I tryed that and and it does not work to well and the smell is deadly. yes!

Re: HO-scale Building
The building are looking great!!!
Interested to see how you go about the petrol station. 18 pumps you could build 2 service stations and still have pumps spare or go crazy like on the super highways.

Going to put smash wrecking yard next to the servo and maybe a small shop too.
That rear large building look's like it was part of other building kit, I say they made a few and mixed them around with other buildings.
Looked at some Australian servo decals,BP,AMPOL, GOLDEN FLEECE. Still
on that.

Got a idea from Bruce about the pumps he said put them in the back of a truck for a load, don't have a old truck yet but a new one a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter. Will be looking for a older truck but there is not a lot of places in Australia selling USA Truck's or Car's you can get some English and a few Australian cars.
Re: HO-scale Building
Getting closer with it now, put it on a base board.
