I think Petes's Plasticville placed in his realistic scenery on his layout looks great. It's my understanding that this approach is known as high railing, which is the style of model railroading that I endeavor to do..
Leroof, when you say you have most of the Plasticville structures, approximately how many such structues would that be?
Speaking of the shiny, unrealistic appearance of Plasticville, I am torn whether to paint or weather them, or keep them in their original condition.
I painted a Plasticville train station tan and brown, and it turned out well IMO. Will post a photo of it later.
However, I also like Plasticville in its the original condition, think it's charming and believe that keeping them in their original condition with their original boxes enhances their value.
I had a few pieces of Plasticville as a child, but did not think much of them back then, thinking they were nothing special because they were made of cheap plastic. About 1 year ago, I saw lots a complete Plasticville in their original boxes at my LHS, bought about 10 to 12 structures, and like them very much. Arnold
