Very nice job Mike. You can't tell it's made from cardboard.

Thanks Curt, here are the row before I get into final detailing.

Mike,

Fantastic job on the build. Very hard to believe it a cardboard product as it looks very real.

Thanks Tom, I am quite impressed by the kit. The roof panels carry a lot of texture and the door panels apart from being two parts carry weathering within the printing.

Mike,


I find the different methods and materials used by kit manufacturers "across the pond" to be very interesting.  I think we as modelers get so locked into wood structures we miss out on other materials and methods that produce such realistic results like those you are showing us with this model.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jerry, I love the challenge of trying new products or mediums. The sheds are only one side of my build. Coming next is a moving crane which runs along a support attached to the sheds.

I enjoy watching your builds as the kits seem to be something that is only produced from your country and have unique techniques.

Haha, I would never hurt Harry's feelings on purpose. I'm sure he has thick skin from hanging out around here

Besides that he's British, they understand humor just like us Dutchies, now Germans that's a whole other thing , they have no humor at all.

Lynn - no offence taken. Jan I am not saying anything to cause an International incident. At the moment we are a little bruised here in the UK. To cheer us up I have just booked a cruise to Gibraltar, Spain and Portugal. However I must crack on with this model despite it's manufacturer's nationality! Mike

Lynn - no offence taken. Jan I am not saying anything to cause an International incident....Mike

Darn.....just when it was getting interesting. 


Just out of curiosity, in another thread Jan said something to the effect that the Dutch don't like to be referred to as "Holland".....why is that?

Officially Holland are the 2 provinces of The Netherlands on the west coast South and North Holland , it's the part of the Netherlands that think they are more important then the rest, especially North Holland with our Capitol of arrogance Amsterdam. It's actually the same as if we would call The United States  , California or Florida. I know it's a bit confusing , because in sports the whole country doesn't mind being called Holland , but in normal life  calling people from where I live  ( south of the big rivers The Rhine and Maas ) Hollanders is not done. We live a whole different way , slower pace , less materialistic , enjoying life, food , drinks more then the average Hollander.

But no one in the rest of the Netherlands will dislike a foreigner for not knowing the difference, and you'll be welcome in all parts.
