HST Mainline Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Personally, I secretly wish Hornby would just go back to printing the artwork on the clip-together buildings instead of using the stickers. I find them to be highly unreliable and cumbersome to work with. To be honest, I don't really care if it is brick work or stone texture, I just like the fact that the buildings are good fun and add to the play value. I know I am not paying much for the buildings, but I still feel Hornby could do a better job with the stickers. What are your experiences and what do you do with the stickers?

ModelerXYZ Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I use and keep the stickers, but I found that they peel off the buildings after a while. So most of my buildings don't have them on anymore.😢 Fortunately most of my buildings aren't Hornby ones so it doesn't affect too much important except the station and water tower.

Peter Stiles Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Yeah, I use a variety of things, but not the stickers. I've used brick-paper and embossed plasticard. I've used strips of tiles on roofs, but I do like to pick the older printed-on type buildings up on e-bay when I can, they have a certain "something" Â It's possible the clock isn't original...

HST Mainline Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 (edited) I ended up airbrushing mine in some stone'ish colours. The roof is loose on the picture, that has since been fixed. It now sits flush. I think it works. Edited March 13 by HST Mainline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
