HOW TO
MODEL SIMPLE LOW‐RELIEF BUILDINGS
Q I’m looking to build up a backscene, featuring various low‐relief factory or industrial buildings. Can you recommend any suitable – and cheap – kits that are easy to assemble? My layout is 20ft long, so I’ll need quite a few of them Gill Evans, by email
As well as the extra relief from the overlay parts, Peter also added a simple canopy over the loading bay doorway, from corrugated plastic sheet and scraps of plastic strip.
Peter says: If you have a large area to cover, it’s worth considering the type of card kits you can print yourself. Brands like Scalescenes (www.scalescenes.com) offer a variety of kits, in ‘N’ and ‘OO’ gauges, which can be downloaded and printed at home. The great thing is, you pay once and can print as many copies of the kits as you like. Only the extra cost of paper, card, glue and ink for your printer need to be factored into your budget.
