Dave,

Last question... I think. What do you use to weather your buildings, to take the newness and plastic look away? If you already discuss this on another thread please lead me that way!

Dave,

The MTH buildings are quite modular in construction so they are VERY easy to take apart.  Once they are disassembled, I paint everything.  I will fill in the brick joints with Roberts Mortar or drywall compound then weather with an airbrush.  Sometimes I will do an IA wash on windows and cornice details after they are painted.  Sometimes not.  It is always fun to add some extra details or board up a window.

The approach is pretty much the same with kits, all depending on the kit.

I hope this helps!
