ON-LINE HOW TO CLINICS
HOW TO CLINICS
Here are a bunch of my on-line how to work with Hydrocal mini-clinics.
Each kit includes specific instructions of course- and there are lots of ways
to do things, but here are my thoughts, tips and techniques.
Coloring BRICK
My traditional techniques for coloring and mortaring brick.
Coloring CONCRETE
A little gray ink wash and some colorants. It's not that difficult.
SCRATCH-BUILDING STOCK
Standard Common Brick- fine
If you like to scratch-build or just want to practice before you do, check out my
stock castings. These are the same building blocks I use to create my kits.
COMPLEMENTARY KITS
NP 90 ft. Round House
A Northern Pacific Standard Plan, the ultimate "railroad" model.
Back Shop / Car Shop
Add this to the back or your roundhouse for major repairs!
Mississippi St. Tower
An NP Standard Plan Interlocking Tower.
The Safety Hook & Ladder Co.
Brick Firehouse
How about this little two-story firehouse? It's the prefect introduction to
Hydrocal brick structures. If you are afraid to tackle the larger kits why not
start here? You will find that Hydrocal modeling is lots of fun and not that
difficult to master.
NP Hotel, Easton
A trackside wooden structure that housed train crews at the base of
Stampede Pass.
