Awesome! Saved for the future recreation of my grandfather’s chicken houses and hay barn on my n scale.

Brett, from Aug of 2018. It's now Feb of 2022, a lot has happened. Sure, miss your Videos.

Looks like long wooden matches might work and be a lot cheaper.

Great video, could you do a video on how to make home made shingle roofs?

[@laragreen4824]

Nice. I'm looking for something that I can leave outside..

Awesome job----but I wish u would have shown it without the paint first for those of us who want the new look for architectural models?---do another video?

Interesting, I tried to use this method and was unsuccessful. I used Kilz, then inexpensive spray paint, let it dry and then mineral spirits. The paint simply would not come off. A shame, I was looking forward to using this.

I'm sorry that this happened!
