Micro-Trains 2 Story Barracks Build by Modelersguild.com
These Micro Trains kits are nice, real nice. A few nights build time
and you have a piece for that micro sized layout. No major surgery involved just plain fun.
To start this build we followed the instructions and sealed the card with dull coat. Sealing the card protects it from the acrylic pains. We painted the trims and foundation grey. When dry we cut out and glued these to the wall sections while still unassembled. Add the glazing to the backs of the walls at this time.
Put together the interior frame and foundation pieces, let set. While propping the walls in place glue the side walls to the frame and foundation.
To keep the foundation flat while gluing we clamped it to a straight edge. Let everything dry completely.
With all the porch and ladder pieces painted we started adding these to the end walls. This was done to make the task easier, adding these to the walls upright would be an unnecessary challenge.
Time to glue the end walls on, I tell ya these brass weights are real nice. Definitely worth much more then the scrap we pulled them from.
When all is ready we added the roof panels to the building. run a small bead of glue around the tops of the walls to place this on, make sure to wipe off access glues (the excess is unmistakable in the final product).
Cut our the printed roofing to fit the panels and glue on. Make sure to scrape the paper with a hard plastic card.
