OK - time for a quick vent....I bought a MiniArt kit, Norman Street, knowing it would be a challenge, but this is nuts!
I spent hours sanding off all the dumb plastic zits, many turning into holes, only to find I can't get anything to hold or line-up. I liked the kit because I really wanted a generic street scene as a background for my builds, and it gave me the opportunity to add lots of little details. And I really didn't want a damaged building, which this wasn't. So I guess it's back to the internet and continue the search. I'm now thinking some of the Verlinden kits will fit the bill. There are a few that have the generic European feel without war damage, I just need to figure which base to get with the new kit. I figure some day I may revisit the MiniArt kit, so I really want to keep that intact.
OK - that's all the venting for now, time to box this up and make a home for it in the basement.
