Hi to all. It is such a good day in this neighborhood….. I like rural areas and I would like my expansion to show that. So I am looking for a good and natural looking barn and 2 story farm house. I have seen a lot with different prices on the internet, but I would like to ask you good neighbors if you have any good idea or a very source to get one. Thank you so much. Mo
American Model Builders: http://www.laserkit.com/laserkit.htm This place makes a lot of barns and houses - the types I'm used to seeing on eastern farms: http://www.mpp-models.com There are more of course: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/520-30009 http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/654-115 HTH
Lasercust barn, does it come already painted or do I have to paint it? Is it easy to paint? Thanks. Mo
Laser kits are easy to put together and you can do a lot of the painting while the parts are still whole on the sheet.
There are also optional decals for those mpp barns reading "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco". That makes them authentic to me as barns with those ads were everywhere.
mo, also check out showcase miniatures 'deloney's barn" http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/654-115
Thank you Sam. I found out about Deloney barn yestarday. I like it and I am going to get it. I found on one store on the internet for $30.00 but guess what? They are out of stock!!. Mo
Mo- Probaby the easiest source to tap is the Walther's site. It has a listing of almost everything made for any scale. As to price, you can probably do better when you find an on line dealer from whom to purchase the items. As an example, today I was thinking about my urban waterfront industrial area expansion. I do not want nicely paved streets, but rather a more authentic cobblestone for my streets. I went onto the Walther's site and typed in N scale, scenery, cobblestones. Three items came up, I then went to the Noch site (one of the ones that came up0 and they had a whole lot more in cobblestones. The internet is wonderful.
Thanks Mark. This barn is aroung $45.oo at Walther's site, and I found it for $30.00. $15.00 difference. I agree the internet is wonderful. Mo
sounds good mo as mark mentioned, i too use the walthers site for reference, then once i find what i like, i look elsewhere to find a deal on it
