Fos Scale Models - Model Railroad Structure Kits
Description
We love building models and have been manufacturing kits for over 20 years, since 2002. Discover how easy it is to build craftsman laser cut and hydrocal kits, with just a bit of practice and some helpful videos. Fos Scale Models carries a line of over 100 unique HO Scale fine scale structure kits for your model railroad or diorama. Some O Scale kits are also available along with a selection of metal cast and 3D Printed parts.
A model railroad is never finished, mine isn't anyway - check out the progress and learn from my mistakes as I build a 1970's Brooklyn - Queens themed layout. It's a city worn, tired and covered in graffiti, served by Conrail and leftover New Haven and Penn Central rolling stock.

Big plus: thanks for fast-forwarding through the repetitive parts. So many Youtubers today can take 30 minutes to show the same two minute operation over and over. And by the way - I like your techniques and the results!

This was excellent! Thank you for talking through your thought process. Especially appreciated the carving thoughts about rock motion and history. The ho person for scale was smart.

"The story of the rocks"--how great is that. I will also copy your weathering powder organization. Thanks much!

If you add a little vinegar to the hydrocal, you can slow the dry time down and give yourself some more working time. Chipping is a problem with hydrocal after the scenery is finished and will leave a bright white spot. I put about a 1/5 teaspoon of Rit Dye Crystals (brown, black gray or tan) to color the plaster slightly to prevent white chipping. Rit Dye is an acid dye and will also slow the drying process down.

Great work Doug. I’ve always been a little surprised by your choice to model the 1970’s, assuming the 30’s-50’s would be a better choice, but now that I’m a few months away from 50, I’m starting to get it. Thanks again for sharing, I really appreciate the time you devote to everything you do.
