We're talking junk this week on the Model Building Toolbox Talk!

Here's a simple way to add some seaside, waterside, pond, river alleyway, "wherever-way" junk to your model railroad and diorama scenes. The best part about this tip is that if you've built a kit or two, you definitely have some scrap scale lumber laying around. So you're halfway there just hoarding these extra scrap lumber pieces.

It's this easy, are you ready?

Take your scrap scale lumber and break it, snap it, weather it, splinter it, and apply it to your diorama & layout scenes whever you see it necessary to have a little pile of scrap lumber.

Brett recently did this with a waterfront scene that you can see in the photos, where he made an old abandoned "ghost dock" scene on the southern end of the Black Water Cove layout.
