Hello Guys  I was wondering what will I need to build these 2 models?  I just got a Korber Models #950 O scale flag company.   And a Ameritowne  #941  Barrettsburg  Toll & die co.  So I was wondering what will I need to build these  buildings? Like what type of cement ?  what brands of paint? what type ?  This will be my first time building something like this.  I have worked on the model cars and they turned out great with my building ability and I still have a 1/2 dozen cars in display cases.

i love aileene's but for ameritowne or korber I would use 2-part epoxy glue or mid-range AC glue (do not use the thin, runny kind). with the AC glue you can also use accelerator, to help speed up things once you have the pieces in place. 

 

for paint, you can certainly use spray cans or if you prime with cheap primer, acrylic craft paints. for mortar use Roberts mortar which can be applied easily then wiped off the brick face at any time. btw, you should consider washing the resin casting with soap and water before painting to make sure there's no residual mold. it will help your paint to adhere better.
