I'm going to build something from Clever Models in paper, and I just can't do the tiny HO parts anymore, so I'm blowing them up 133% to S scale...

I think the word you want is "enlarging" - blowing things up is reserved for Slim Sartore and Ralphzilla...

Tiny parts in HO , well if that isn't a Contradictio in terminis, HO stands for Horribly Oversized.  ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like an N scale guy to me.  I think everyone comes to the conclusion somewhere in the 40's or early 50's that they should have modeled in a larger scale. I have reached the point where I'm modeling in HO with O scale eyes. Now where did I put my glasses. ;D

I ordered a bunch of windows, doors, and shingles (NOT singles :) ) over the weekend. Then last night I realized I don't have any little peoples, or vehicles!

Suggestions please?

OOPS...I just found Arttista has some, but they are expensive. But I still need to gather more suggestions.

Ranny is now looking for single little people, I'm 6'3" , so that excludes me.

Well, I gave up the idea of building something in S scale...too large for my purposes, lots of real estate! I do have lots of nice stuff from Rusty Stumps Scale Models. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll rethink the jump another time.

Shingles!, Shingles!!!

I just found out that I may already have them in my bloodstream!
Thanks to today's TV 'Scare You' tactics and the 'Fishin' Lawyers'!!!
