That is a good idea. I would do that when I fly to LA, but FAA doesn't aproove of X-acto knives or Testers Plastic Glue, even in checked baggage. I couldn't really mail it there, becouse by the time it arrives, my vacation is half way over. I only stay there about a week, but if I were to stay at least 3 weeks, I would mail everything over.
I like to bring a few magizeens to school each day. it is good when my teachers are late, and after I finish a test.
Good luck with your next kits!

It is a hard question because I don't know your modeling experience.
I have been in the hobby for 30 years. I picture in my mind how I want the model to look and try to build it that way. The instructions in the kit don't tell
you how to make it look run down. I take pictures of old run down buildings
and look at them to get ideas. Sorry I could not be more help full.

Hi Bill,
I love your attention to the little details. Despite viewing the model as a photo, the tar paper roofing looks beautifully curled. I'm also really fond of the way the supporting post has punched through the roof of the awning. Excellent work!

I used the material that came in the kit. The roof was strips of felt paper.
I sanded the paper to make it thinner. When I glued on a strip, I did not glue it all the way across, this way I was able to lift up a spot and tear it with my tweezers
I used Bragdon Powders to high lite the tar paper.
The same method was used on the porch.
