Jerrman posted:Nice jobs on those kits. Downtown Deco kits are great fun and take weathering beautifully. For any noticeable seams, I usually apply some lightweight spackle with my fingers in the seams and it all blends in as I do that before painting any DD kit. One suggestion on any seams that you don't like, regardless of material (i.e. hydrocal, resin, wood, etc.) is to run a small styrene tube covering the seam which simulates a downward roof drain. You could also use a wire and bend it at the bottom the way drains usually look. You can also add some vines up the seams which will cover them as much as you'd like.
A great thing to use for the downspouts is Plastruct TB-1 or -2 colored tubing. They come as plastic coated wire so they can be bent without kinking and hold their shape and there is no need to paint. I buy in colors green and black.
