I like the way you're doing this build. Short videos are more attention keeping than longer drawn out ones showing the entire build all at once. Short less than ten minutes at the time are better to me. 👍
As a newbie craftsman kit builder, really enjoying following along! Quick question: why didn’t you paint both sides of the windows? Wouldn’t something that thin tend to warp unless sealed on both sides?
@@WileysScaleModeling Right - totally understand wrt plastic/Tichy windows/doors. But I meant the laser-cut wood ones (the ones on the sheet with the stairs/stringers).
@@TheValleyLocal My apologies!! Also, the same. I keep the application of pain thin and not caked on, so I don't think I've every had a problem with curling.
Painting the plastic with a sponge is new tip, for me, one of those 'doah!' moments, why I never thought of it. With strip wood, though, I dampen a cloth, then dip in paint, fold on itself to make paint less thick, then drag the strip wood through the folded cloth. Just tried it both ways, cloth was quicker. Also, couldn't you prime the plastic windows with a tan-ish color, and then, using the sponge technique, get a chipped paint look like you do with the walls? Great series, thank you.

looks good.

The windows are plastic and the back sides are not able to be seen. Also painting the plastic with acrylic craft paints causes no warping
