  • In this video, I demonstrate building and painting the Walthers Cornerstone Heritage Furniture Background building kit with the help of Mrs. Freak and Freak Jr. I did run into an issue with the directions and I explain how I had to correct it if in case you choose to get this kit for your layout.

    Wow, I am so glad you made this video. You saved my bacon on this kit about gluing the walls together. Worth a sub right there.

      Thanks! If you got the backdrop building version like I did, you'll want either Styrene strips or a sheet for the back to make it more stable. Something I've learned a year later.

    Instead of buying that expensive woodland scenics just plug light diffusing film for $18 to put on the windows, you can buy a 12"x12" piece of vellum paper from Hobby Lobby or Michael's for less than $2 dollars and its basically the same thing. Works exactly the same. Tip for budget modelers. The building looks really good Jason.

    Man, poorly set up instructions, but WOW, did you make that building pop, Jason! Brilliant! I also love the names you give your businesses- great wordplay and malaprops. As far as lighting, would there be a light outside each door on the bays leading to the freight cars? Happy New years and cheers!

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Anthony! I am hoping to add light above the two boxcar bays but it is a tight fit. I do want lights over the truck bays for sure!

    Thanks Jason so very much. I have this kit too and was thinking maybe to use the roof as the base to attach my walls to and build it upside down? I'll see how that goes. Love the paint job and the tip on painted items not gluing together I really appreciate.

    Nice job on the building it came out nice. So for lights did you want all the windows to light or do you want at have some light and others not? You can also use aluminum foil as a reflective surface on the back and bottom of roof for more even light distribution. Or you need to add more lights.

    • @TheTrainFreak
