Thanks guys!
DPM structures should always be considered kitbashing material. LIke Walthers structures, htey are victim of their success. If you don't modify them a little bit, you get that dejà vu feeling like Atlas Passenger Station and tower or old Revell kits from the 50s! ;-)
@Reinhard: Once you start shuffling and mixing parts together, you can have nice surprises! I had more fun working with them than DPM structural wall parts (which are costly nowadays compared to the building kits - also, I feel they are out of scale most of the time).
Decided to kill time before Christmas by building 3 CN trackside sheds.
They are made out of cardboard and oatmeal box. Tar paper roofing with masking tape. They will need some weathering before going on the layout. I'll need two other ones, smaller. Windows are Tichy, doors are laminated paper. Smoke stack is made out of a Q-Tip stick... Never thought before they could be a good source of scale pipes.
