it’s the little things that make a structure feel lived in. I’ve started adding small details like bent gutters, rust streaks, and discarded tires behind garages. One of my favorites is a tiny cat figurine I placed sitting in a window—it’s barely noticeable, but once someone spots it, they can’t unsee it!
I also love using chalk pastels and dry brushing to give buildings a bit of age—makes a plastic kit look 50 years old in the best way. And crates… I can’t stop adding stacks of crates. 😄
Would love to hear what other people use—anyone add tiny signs, clotheslines, or interior lighting for that extra realism? Let’s swap some inspiration!
