Painting your 3D printed model railroad buildings is one of the most rewarding parts of layout building.
Step 1: Prime First
Always use a plastic-safe primer to ensure paint adhesion.
Step 2: Base Coat
Apply thin coats of acrylic paint to preserve fine detail.
Step 3: Weathering
Dry brushing and washes add realism by simulating age, dirt and wear.
Step 4: Seal
Finish with a matte clear coat for protection.
Painting transforms a printed model into a realistic miniature structure.
