Laser cut Building Tempaltes
I have gained access to a super high res laser printer but am on the lookout for some resources so that I can quickly design up some buildings.
I am looking at some brick style factories from around 1930s-1950s as I have about 3.5m (12 foot) of industrial background building to construct. There is a yard and the depth is not to flat and squished up.
If any has ideas on where i can get some HO scale template files to use that would be great.

Best way to weather over rustoleum paint?
Hi All,
I am doing a lot of water soluble scenery around a slot care race track. I decided to paint my track a flat primer to give it a "pavement look". I used rustoleum 2x primer. I am looking at the manufacturers safety data sheet, but can't nail down what the base solvent is in the paint itself. Anyway cleanup is kerosene, xylene, paint thinner etc.
I want to go back and weather the track with a black wash and add skid marks.
1) Can I use lacquer thinner to do this?
