    Great work Val, I've also started some structures from scratch and I'm finding this part of the hobby very rewarding, I'm using wood since it's my favourite material but your work with styrene is amazing. I'll be watching this closely!

    Today is a sad day for Portuguese Railroads

    What color do I paint the ...?

    It always depends on the colours you like most, in my case I like pastel colours soft tones, they always go with anything you put around them!
