My Story, briefly…
This all began many Years ago. I would never have thought all the Years of modelbuilding as a hobby would evolve into a plunge into full time kit building today. Towards the end of 2015 I took the leap (with alot of encouragement) and entered kit building full time. It sure wasn’t an easy transition, though with the backing of some very enthusiastic people I have been able to work on my passion and make alot of people happy seeing their kits finally turn a wheel. Today I specialise in scales O and larger. I rarely offer one off customer commission assemblies any more, and focus more on batch assembly. All batches are pre-paid in full and are often all presold. Anything extra may come up for sale in my store.
My eBay shop came about as I am often asked what product did I use here or similar… You will find products in there are what I use in my assemblies and other hobbies. My shop contains many items I can recommend, because I actually use them… A couple of the brands you will find in my store are featured below.
The little Mallee shed…
This one was for myself. Steamfreak Models kindly 3D printed one for me in 1:48 for my O Scale V.R layout. It has the bench and desk already installed, so some careful painting was required to pick out all the details. I added a daytime light, this is something I do to most structures. This light makes the interior visible, and after all the work put into finishing the model, I want to see it! I use a warm white LED tucked up in the front corner, and it runs at a very low level, just enough to remove the blackhole/shadows of a building interior both in person and in photos in daytime light.

I have no affiliation with Steamfreak Models, just a very happy customer and after a few purchases, am happy to recommend.
Andian Models
Andian Models offer a range of very high quality 3D printed figures in HO and O and also some detail part kits. I offer the figures painted from time to time and you can find these in my store when a batch is painted. The various kits and parts are very finely detailed and perfect for foreground track detailing. The picture featured is property of Andian Models, I appreciate the permission to use, thankyou.

TRU-COLOR
Tru-Color USA manufacture an enormous line of model paint for trains, cars, aircraft, and pretty much any other hobby you can throw into that.
I generally will only special order these when I have enough requests for. Paint are available in a 1oz or 2oz bottle, larger bottle sizes are available on request.
The paints are acetone based. Thin them with their own thinner, or as I often use, a slow gassing thinner such as Mr Levelling Thinner. Clean up your airbrush with some of the cheaper/bulk thinner you might get at a hardware store.
Check them out in my store or on my eBay store www.ebay.com.au/str/engeljurgen
