How to paint model brick buildings

I built several brick stone buildings for my layout and figured I share how I painted them. Several steps are needed, and it is honestly not my favourite part.

It’s up to you what colours you want to use and what result you’re trying to get. I wanted to get a brown-reddish type brick house, as it is seen frequently for industrial buildings.

Transport Fever 2: Create a crowded stations vale of 80%

The Shanghai mission of Transport Fever 2 (the last mission of the 3rd chapter) includes an optional quest to “create a crowded stations vale of 80%.” Initially I increased the number of vehicles, hoping the value would decrease to get less overcrowded stations. However, it seemed like I simply couldn’t succeed and the number rather increased ...

Film watchmap

Some people have a map where they mark all the countries they visited. Other folks keep a list of the movies they’ve seen. I decided to combine the two and create a map of all countries I’ve seen a movie or TV show from.

Stalker 2: How to get the Weird Water artifact

Inventory size/being encumbered was one of my main issues in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. You carry 2 weapons, a pistol, med packs, a bit of food, and ammunition, and you’re already slowing down.

Tychy Brewery: Tracks and ballasting are done

I’m finally done with the tracks on my model railroad shelf layout. I went with the Tillig H0-ELITE-track system since I heard only good things about it, and must say that I’m more than happy with the outcome.
