Building Placement for Model Train Village

My name is Kevin Blakeney and on behalf of Expert Village. Now that you have customize your buildings we are going to show you how to place them to get the most impact. Now that you have your basic landscaping materials in place you are going to want to start to place your structures. You are going to want to look at all 4 sides of each one. Decide which one you want to act as the front which necessary is not the front of the structure. Place it where you think it is going to fit best. That one works about there. Like I said earlier you are going to want to place some of your residential structures higher up on the hill overlooking. Give them a nice view so there property value goes up. Start forming neighborhoods, commercial areas. You can include little plazas. City planning but in a much smaller level. Don't be afraid to get your hands a little dirty you want to use indoor latex paint when you are doing this so it is water soluble, easy to clean up. So taking a look at this you are going to want to stop and you are going to want to look around, take a look at our 4 sides. Make sure everything looks about where you want it to be. Then you are ready to place your roads and your pathways which is a our next step.
