Will it fit in?

One of the things I hear often from folks is: Will your kits fit in with my wood craftsman kits or maybe for background models? Well here’s a pretty great example, that says clearly, “YES” they fit in. We have had many in the past but I never thought about focusing on the point.

Ed Traxxler has become a well respected modeler known for his obsessive attention to detail. He posted this shot on Model Railroad Radio recently. Now he doesn’t often mention it (doesn’t think it’s necessary) but he mixes cardstock and wood and plastic freely. Take a close look at this great picture. Whats’ card and paper and what’s not? Here’s a clue… It’s not the background (though it could be too) 

I think this is proof.

On my "under construction" wharf layout I have Paper from Clever, scratch built wood, scratch built plastic & wood kits. i have stood numerous people 3' from the layout & challenged them to identify what material each building is made from. So far, none have gotten it right. Take a little time & maybe a little extra detail & they will fit right in.

If built carefully your $300 sawmill will look fine next to our $8 warehouse.
