Even before 1988, when I first began conducting NMRA clinics on how to create these original products, folks have told me time and time again how very realistic my modeling techniques are. Finally, after repeated urging from friends and customers, I now bring you some of the very same products and techniques that I have used in the construction of my National Award Winning Dioramas. In this How-To #1 booklet I have described just exactly I apply some of the most user friendly products that you will ever find. You can take these very same products, and with no previous experience you can recreate the very same techniques, with the very same results—in just minutes.

If all the modeling components were made of the same material, figuring a way to color or stain them would be a snap. Well, they're not and we help explain how to make them look realistic in this How-To booklet.
