  • Toss out the directions and build model kits like this one however you want. Like most Walthers warehouse type kits, this Modern Transload Terminal kit is easy to build in unique shapes.

    Very well done Steve! Love the configuration you came up with as well. I always struggle with “thinking outside the box” sometimes and this is a great reminder that a small challenge can yield great results. 👏👏

    This is a great video Steve and really shows a followable process to kitbashing a rather mundane kit.

    Steve,
    A super job kit bashing. That structure looks great. I have been a kit basher for years. I save all the left over parts from the kits, as I'm sure you do. What is also a cool thing to do is build a structure from all the left off stuff. Nice tip on using the plastic putty. I will definitely give that a try; but try to avoiding the exploding putty tube. I heard your chuckle, some times all you can do is laugh. Thanks for all the great videos.

    • @StevesTrains

      Yeah, I have some bins of left over pieces and really need to try sorting them out into smaller containers of similar pieces at some point since it is has gotten out of control.

    Great explanation, I do have to kitbash a building for my layout and this will come handy. By the way this is my first layout and is based on your Tulsa spur, so double thank you

    Hey Steve! Thanks for this amazing video! Any chance you could share the spray paint name / colors for the building?

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains  8 месяцев назад

      I just use various earthy/beige type colors from HD and Lowe’s. I don’t remember the exact colors I used. The siding color on this one I went back and used a Vallejo color that had a slight greenish tint. I’ll see if I can figure out which one I used sometime in the coming days when I get a chance.

    Hi did you make the building from cardboard or plastic

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains  Год назад

      Walls are plastic and roof is cardboard and paper.
