I needed an 18" bridge high enough to accommodate my double-stacks, so I scratch-built it using basswood and styrene.  I started by drawing my plan on posterboard and then cut all parts and glued together.  I also used brad nails for the cross-sections for added strength.  After assembling, I sprayed with Rustoleum silver and then added touches of rust.

Instead of helping this show case along, it seams like I killed it. ..

 

To answer your question .. my buildings are all made out of cheep 1/8 inch paneling with printed paper glued on.

The building is sprayed with matt finish clear to seal the paper before the windows and doors are glued in place.

 

 

Really great photos!
