Moving swiftly on.
This time with the 1313 Mockingbird Lane kit from Moebius, which is the 2nd & last kit my wife bought with the £70 I had left from the model fair.
Started off with the brick inserts on the base, glueing them in, one by one.
Then came the spire, which was 1 half & the other half was 4 quarter panels, but Moebius have made a slight error with the number placements.
It states parts 17.16.15 & 14 (in that order) to be glued together, but 16 & 15 will not glue together as they have mounting tabs for 14 to fit into, so 14 should be swapped with 15, so they can go together.
Once that problem was solved, the spire walls went together really easy.
Spire roof was 4 quarter pieces & when placed on top of the bottom hexgonal peice, glued together easily.
Using the base to make sure the peices were aligned for the spire, I did the same when starting the west wing construction.
Front (1) & back (2) walls connected to the wall (13) with a dovetail joint like effect & that made glueing very easy & the short wall (22) was the same too, using electrical tape to hold them together whilst the glue dried.
Once the glue dried on the west wing I test fitted it after I took the tape off & the holes & pegs aligned perfectly.
I then glued the 2 roof side peices onto the west wing assembly & again used electrical tape to hold those down while the glue dried.
Also did another test fit with the roof & that fitted perfectly.
Caught a break in the weather, as it was very mild & dry outside for the one day, as either side days were raining, so I managed to do a lot of priming.
Grey primer for the west wing & once dry I masked off the roof & went with white spray for the walls.
Also primered the sprue parts in grey primer & again white on top for the wall sections.
Now its all primered, im all ready for paint.
