Tutorials
Sharing how we do the different aspects of our builds is one of the things that makes The Scale Firehouse great. Be it how to scratch build detail items or get that mirror finish. Feel free to browse through the various tutorials here and if you have a way of doing something that you would like to share, please check the submissions page to find out how. The files with PDF next to them require Adobe Acrobat to read them. You can down load it free by clicking on the Adobe icon. Eventually all tutorials will be available in PDF format to give the option of printing just the tutorial.
