I have been building all types of sacle models since I was pre-teen. I have built just about every scale I think. I built H.O. Train lay outs with my dad some 30 plus years ago. I had at one time over 300 models on selves. I have built scracth to kit. I have no company preferrance. I do hate alot of flashing and poor molding. I guess that is why I like wood better.
