Train Time LaserN Scale Laser Cut Covered Bridge Kit

I bought two of these just in case I needed to improve on the building process. Everything on my layout is from kits, so I do have the patience, tools experience. That being said, the instructions called for assembling the kit and then painting or staining. I never do that. Everything is detailed before assembly. To each his own. I decided to use a matte acrylic wash to finish. Be advised, these materials are very prone to swelling and warping with any water based material - even undiluted acrylic. After I stained, I weighted all pieces down and they recovered. A solvent based wash / stain might be more appropriate. Lastly, the paper roof was a real letdown. It should have at least been pre-scored to get a cleaner fold. I used matte black to further distress the roof and added some hunter green to resemble mold or mildew. All in all, money well spent if you have the patience.

Okay I have to try and write this review very carefully. Okay this is a very wonderful addition to my train layout, it is very beautiful a word I don't tend to use a lot. Now this is not a item a newbie or someone just buying stuff might want. It is well made but very fragile and requires a certain amount of respect from the modeler in building it.

Had to put together

This is hard to put together. I am still working on it. Others may have better luck since I am a beginner

Train Time = fun, easy and realistic.

stain or paint? that is the question you must ask yourself

This was not worth the price..........a rip off.

Very nice detail
