i have 20-25 DD built kits on my layout. they are among by the most realistic, yet relatively easy to assemble kits. the key to making them look so good is in the painting and weathering and randy’s instructions will teach you how do do that, step by step. hydrocal provides some of the best casted details and while it’s forgiving in the panting and weathering steps it’s unforgiving in assembly. best to build on a cutting mat so that if you put down a wall casting with too much force, it won’t crack. but if it does, it’s easy to glue together and it adds to the character of the wall. however, if you drop it, it will shatter at which point, it’s probably toast. randy might help you with a replacement wall. you can use tacky glue or even white glue (but set time for me, is too long). i use 5 minute epoxy and then brace the inside corners with 3/8” stripwood. take it slowly, read ahead on the instructions and you’ll have some structures which you’ll be very proud of on your layout.
