HO Scale Building Moduals
I have one of the buildings in the series built from various modular sections and they appear to be HO scale as far as the rest of my buildings. I noted that the detailing is up to the number of modules used as there are all sort of possibilities. I built my one building as a general delivery and storage building with two other building wall combination sets and detailing modules available. An entire city block is possible. As with many of these types of kits I attached the clear plastic windows into the inside of the insets first and painted the exterior before seating the window inserts which where painted as well. Although the molded colors are OK, I would recommend that one would use colors other than tan and green. This is fairly simple yet effective way to build up a city scape for any modeler.
Lots of little details
By: chad
I would rate this excellent if the instructions were better :( - This set includes a ton of roof details with more than enough for a small town. It took some time to assemble the A/C units and figuring out how the parts went together was more of a challenge than I signed up for. Tip: Paint everything prior to assembly and you'll save a lot of time doing it later.
good detail at a good price.
By: hilmanscotslion
this is the second roof detail kit i have purchased. there is a reason for that. it's because you will be hard pressed to find a kit that add's so much detail to any roof at this price. good clean detail and easy to use. turn those plain old roof's into something special. there is enough in here to do several building's. great deal. may order another soon.
Adds a lot to your city roofs
I was very pleased to find these roof details. Nothing is more boring that a street full of flat roofs. Using the roof details in this kit helps bring your city alive. I painted the grey styrene a flat silver to simulate the galvanized metal used for these pieces. There were enough to do 12 buildings on my layout. I highly recommend this product.
Could be better
By: edward925
Granted, it's N scale, so being small is expected. My problem was that some pieces that could easily have been molded as one piece were, instead, in two pieces requiring a surgeon's touch to assemble. Otherwise, the pieces were clearly numbered on the tree and the pieces do add a touch of realism to the rooftops.
Nice kit
I model in ho scale so when I received this ( ordered it by mistake) I wasn't sure what to do, then I measured the parts and thought, this is what I need for my small layout industries ( they scale out nice for HO scale) for my 1956 layout there're just right
