That's a good tip. I never would have thought to check Amazon for model kits...

Some really good weathering tips for buildings can be found in model railroading magazines.

I have the kit and I agree. The building walls that do come in the kit are very plain and have no surface to them, as if built from sheet stock by a beginning modeler. I'd have to do a lot of work to them to make them look real and interesting. The only things that are worth while in the kit are the lift and accessories. I've heard before that the gas pumps are out of scale but cannot confirm that.

Amen! Fujimi tool kit, a set of 1:1 garage plans to build from (or an actual garage to measure!) and a 1/25 scale ruler to measure it all out!
