Family Train Layout: Bonus Episode - building a plastic kit

Seems like a lot of cement was used especially on the tank seam where the plastic squeezed thru to the outside of the seam. It could be sanded off after it hardened. Also no demonstration of the sprue cutter. Otherwise a good clinic for the beginner.

I enjoyed the demo. It was very clear and touched all relevant points to help a beginner through their first kit. I could have used this 50 years ago. My dad died before we could do this kind of project. Great series for the beginner and the parent that may be helping them.

You’re good… no out takes or bloopers like Cody! I know this is a beginner project, but I’d like to see some tips on pre-painting parts to more realistic colors and ending the it with weathering for more advanced modelers. Mine has come with years of trial and error before getting kits painted, assembled and weathered. Excellent video!

Thanks for the building tips, David. I didn’t know to fit the parts together first then apply glue. Makes sense, though.
