Hi, you did great with this one too. ITLA buildings seem soooooo cool. Would you say that the kind of material (laser cut wood) is easier to do bricks effects than plastic ? Could you also tell me the total height of that nice building. It fits exactly in the kind of buildings I like because it's possible to oversized them to what we want.
I find all these materials easy to work with. The kit comes with 3 different types of material. MDF for the main building, micro plywood for the pilasters, wooden shack and a high dense material for the fine details parts like railings. As you see in the video, no special preparations of precautions were needed. To answer your question, the MDF is easy to manipulate. You can chip off certain bricks, make rough patches and the likes. The same with the micro plywood for the brick and concrte pilasters. Your imagination is really the limit. The hight is 9 1/8"
@@DubaiTrains Many thanks for answering. Looking at your video, I felt like it was so easy for you to manage. Nine and a half inches is a 70 footer building. I was pretty out with my 12 inches height. What I like the most of what you do is that you're working with all kinds of kits excluding Walthers(at least for the moment). ITLA buildings are a minority choices. That's why I appreciate that you're sharing your work with us !
@@lucgagnon5241 Hi Luc, to be honest I was just looking for realistic sized, high detail, brick buildings. Put that into google and you get 1 search result: ITLA Scale Models. Well not really one search result but you get the idea ;-) Its a real bonus that the company is active and the kits are of the best quality out there. Even among other fine scale peers.
You mentioned adding sand to the roof for the texture. One thing I’ve done is used baking soda in black paint to add texture. Then I can paint over it again if it’s taken on too much of a lighter color from the powder. It has worked well especially for making a weathered stone texture for table top games.

your skills blow me away every time!
Thanks TM. You should give it a try!

Thanks. Give it a try! Its all a matter of practice.

I would have never come up with that technique. I'll give it a try.
