Model painting and the associated tools are an essential part of our model railroad hobby.

In this class, your instructor Doug Hodgdon will show you the assortment of paints, solvents, stains, brushes, and other tools that he uses at his own workbench, and how they may fit into your creative process.

Doug’s idea is to get you, the modeler, to really enjoy experimenting with many different types of products available. And, in time, you’ll see that using a variety of materials and techniques adds a higher level of believability to your model railroad scene.

Follow along with Doug and try out model painting and tools for yourself. It’s fun and rewarding. Explore your creativity.
