In this video I demonstrate some easy scratch building for beginners as I build a small railyard shanty model for my Hodge Jct. scene. Scratch building opens many doors for model railroaders and model builders in general. It allows you to incorporate elements that are not commercially available, AND it is easier than you think for beginners to get started. Let me show you some basic tools and techniques to help you begin your scratch building journey.
