A Few Links

Tips on painting O scale figures.

Some lovely scratch built O scale windows and doors.

Making corrugated metal using a computer ribbon cable. It's HO scale, but it's a nice example of improvising to make building materials. (Other methods include using corrugated plastic sheet as an embossing jig, or paper crimping or embossing tools, or embossing with anything with extruded ridges with spacing appropriate to your scale.)

A couple of my favorite how-to vids:

Modeling quick realistic trees (YouTube).

Scratchbuilding a turnout for your model railroad (YouTube).

Where I shop online (those times I actually buy stuff):

I hit ebay first, then Model Train Stuff and Hobbylinc.
