Papa Posted Sunday at 10:39 PM #1 Posted Sunday at 10:39 PM Campbell has been out of business for quite a few years but many of their kits are available on eBay. I am in the planning stages to build a micro layout in HO scale. By convention a “micro layout “ should be no larger than 4 square feet but have a reasonable operating purpose. This is my first structure for the layout, though not my first Campbell kit. I repurposed the building to be a small market with the owners living above. I left off a lot of the gingerbread and added a small loading bay on the rear left. As I was typing I realized that I hadn’t installed the vent pipe on the roof.

Canute Posted Monday at 11:42 AM #4 Posted Monday at 11:42 AM Nicely done. The Campbell kits had some of the best instructions and added some techniques to the builder's bag of construction tricks. king derelict, thibaultron, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
