If you like scratch building, prototype structures, plaster carving or the EBT Railroad, this clinic will have something of interest for you. The presentation will show how the builder modeled the original stone farmhouse that the EBT currently uses as their yard office. The structure is 100% scratch built. The only commercial components are paint, wire, plaster, styrene and weathering chalks.
