Here is Geoff Southwood's rendition of our Pork Store in HO Kit HO3108. He went over the top and added even more insane detail! GS-2.jpg  GS-3.jpg  GS-5.jpg  GS-8.jpg  GS-9.jpg  GS-4.jpg

That kind of detail-in-depth is really impressive. Kind of pulls one into the scene.

Thanks for posting … I think we’d all love to see more great modeling like this! Would it be possible to get some how to's on using your products?

Thanks for the comments. I will try to get into the habit of posting some how to's with our products here.  As well, I have started this You Tube segment called "The Art of Detail". It will air weekly (or at least try) on our You Tube page and on New Tracks Modeling.

Here is the first one (this one is not directly about our products, but you get the idea):

One little detail, your cigarette machines look great, but they are all empty, the ends of the packs should show in the arrow above the knob....love them!

Well, if you;'re going to get that picky, the Coke machines are empty, too... you should see bottle necks and caps through the door, in the holes.

To be honest, I first drew the "V" graphics with the packs in them, but there was so little contrast that you could not notice them.

And if you are going to get picky about the bottles, then how about these....  in HO!  Coming soon in HO and O.

and no, they do not come filled!

Those look great Darryl. I used to make comic book money finding those bottles. That was before trains, plastic bottles and cans.

I recently bought one of those vortex mixers.  They are a bit pricey, but sure works very well.  Money well spent...
Has anyone else tried one?

Clearly from the video, I am happy with the unit I have. I have since chatted with a few people that say they can't do with out it.  If you are like me with arthritis, it is painful to be manually shaking those bottles endlessly to mix paint.

I'm not late to the hobby but very late to finding your  companies products. I recently ordered a handful of items. When I originally opened the package I was quite dismayed as most of your products come in pouches that are flatter than a pancake. My friends told me to trust the process and I finally got around to putting one of them together today. Sure enough the first kit came together flawlessly and I am very impressed with the quality. I'll have to do some careful touch up on the knobs someday because I only had yellow paint and not the recommended gold. 20220204_145404.jpg

Nice looking cigarette machines, Loren.   They were quite common in the 70's, my era, so I'll have to get some for my close-to-the-front scenes.

Well done Loren, they came out great!

Pennsy Nut, we do have HO ones as well. Just check out our site:  www.interactionhobbies.com.

We are coming out with new details that go with our structures kits so make your suggestions and we will see what we can do.

Cheers!
