I wanted to get them done last weekend, as i have a couple days off from work at the end of this week. MAybe i can get a few games in with the new stuff. I might just make my mdf scenery though, wich is also good!

I went with the mdf, as i didn't have enough time to get my game set up before the kids went to bed.

HAve always been happy with sarissa kits, and the first two went togheter very smooth, but the last two were garbage (the chateau and the high cabin)

was not lasered all the way  through, so endud up cutting every single piece to make it fit!

result is ok, but the process made me want to just hit it with a hammer!

[Techno]

Well.....

It's very nice...But I can see all the 'chips' you've had to carve out, Peter...No wonder you got a little bit peeved.

Yes had to take off a lot! Not building any mdf again anytime  soon 

Luckily that were all the kits i had lying around!

[Womble67]

Yeah poor construction makes it really hard to put MDF together, maybe worth you dropping them an email as they may be unaware of the problem

Take care

I'll see what i can do.

meanwhile i got the basic painting done, now to do the bases, and find something to cover the roof with. maybe spackle? or straw? or just leave them as is? the tabs are showing though, wich kind of bugs me...

chateau has been undercoated black as well!

[Techno]

Not straw......Too coarse at this scale, Peter.....I reckon.

(PS....what do the headlines on the papers mean ?)...... I think we need to be told.  )

Ons recht means 'our rights'

It's the info booklet from my wifes  "union".

I said straw meaning model straw though. Zitrrdes sell that.

Don't have dead teddybears at hand!

Found this in the local arts and crafts store, will try to put these on my roofs!

[petercooman]

all done! Only thing left to do is give the roofs a wash with agrax eartshade to tie them in with the buildings.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]
