Painting the house.

As a new model railroader, it's a process that I learn as I go. Unfortunately, sometimes I learn from my mistakes. And today I learned, the hard way, to paint my buildings before assembling them and mounting them into my layout. This one, I painted after it was assembled and mounted into my layout, and my goodness was it a pain. I always thought I could do it later, and yes, that is a possibility, but I wouldn't recommend it, nor will I do it again. It was just too difficult to paint those little details with the tree in the way and the awkward positions that were needed to get to areas I couldn't see, or hardly reach. You can see from the photo where I need to touch up and fix my mistakes. It turned out fairly well however. It's all good thought. I'll know better next time.
