I've found some Downtown Deco Buildings on Ebay, that I think would look good on my layout. I'm wondering if anyone has some pictures, or building advice about these kits. Easy to build? Look good on your layout?

 Thanks!

I picked up 4 through Stout a while back. They are quite different than any of the plastic models. They are cast plaster (white) so epoxy is recommended to assemble. My painting and finishing skills are quite rusty so I have been finishing Ameritown and Korber plastic buildings first. There is so much more detail in these cast buildings it it quite amazing. Downtown Deco's website has detailed instructions on how to assemble and finish. The First Timer Bar and The Chop Suey buildings are billed as being easier to build and finish.  The are a couple of sponsors who also sell these. You might want to check them out as a quick check of eBay listings show they are more expensive than buying through a sponsor. I can't wait to start one of mine. BTW if mine end up looking half as good as Don's - I will be a happy fellow!   Jeff
