Title: Boring kit with a great Result
Post by: EricQuebec on September 08, 2024, 05:21:17 PM
Hello Guys,
Today I've a question for you :
Have you ever found that assembling a particular kit was totally boring, but the final result is simply awesome.
Have encounter this situation with the «FSM JS-12 Oatman's mercantile»
I've buy and build this kit during the summer 2022 (and Autumn an d part of winter of the year).
The kit is very well done, all the part are mode from the best quality (as all FSM Kit), all the instruction are very detailed and clear, but I don't like my experience with it. Boring is the unique word have in mind about it.
I don't have the fun with it that I could have with my two best kit ever (FSM MacKenzie milling and FSM fox Run Milling CO).
But .... but... the result is great, a very beautiful dio.
ANd you Have you encounter this kind of situation ?

Pictures in a few...
Eric Québec

You have done an excellent job on that kit.  It's all the details that move the model from 'just a box' to 'a model of a real country store.'

Great work, Eric.  I've had some irritating kits (poor fit, poor instructions, etc) but never a boring one.

I built this one in O scale and changed it up with a wood shingle roofing and flashing. Also found it not challenging, but really liked the outcome and had fun in a larger scale.....good work Eric.  8)

 Eric, nice modeling ! The only boring kits here are the ones that have never been started, but don't have the one that you completed to judge it on. Keep on completing those boring kits because they come out great...Tommy
