Mark Aldrich Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Which do you prefer? The old ceramic/cast style, the new styrene type (MiniArt), the new resin cast ones that seem to be hitting the market, or building your own? I personally enjoy the old ceramic ones as long as they aren't too cracked. Mark

VonL Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 There's just too much cool stuff in model RR land. The German Kibri brand is pricey, but there's probably no better source of authentic, central European-looking architecture. Being mostly an aero-nut, I've had visions of mounting planes in forced-perspective dioramas over these things in N-scale or HO (not rubble...yet...)!
odwinn Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 after doing the One Sixth scale figure thing for many years , Building my own. bit harder to do in 1/72 though.
RobMorales Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 After struggling through a Miniart Vacform/Injection kit, I really prefer ceramic stuff too.
Mark Deliduka Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 I like the Styrene models. So much easier to build, paint and weather: These are just a few I've done. I also have the Waterloo Farmhouse, a store, and inn, a blacksmith shop, a stronghold, some bunkers, and even a KFC. Yeah, nothing like these.
RobMorales Posted July 4, 2010 Report Posted July 4, 2010 Duke, I agree with you for when I was doing 1/72 stuff.

The craftsman style RR models are great for super detailing fans. It's also a good way to get a handle on how to design your own buildings. Edited July 7, 2010 by KevinK
