hi all anyone had the new semi detacthed house kit yet ? any comments.

This one?



PO266 Metcalfe Kit

Not made any myself but plenty have sold since release - most popular Metcalfe kit to date.

Now that looks a very nice 1930`s onwards kit

Im sure many people could make use of a few of them bit of weathering and extra details would look really smart

cheers brian

Does look like a nice kit when built, can you also use it as a low relief, ie use the front and the back as a separate model ?

Presumably, if you cut it in half

Well of couse that's what I meant, but is it detailed at the back as well :roll::roll::roll:

Sorry Alan, couldn't resist!  Yes, it is a fully detailed kit on all sides.

Sorry about that Shawn, you will find that we quiet often go off track :roll:

But back to the Metcalf Kit, it does look a good kit, and if as Chris has said he is selling a lot of them, that must say something, and Metcalf kits always make a good model.

At last they have changed the roof colour!  :doublethumb

just bought two kits today i will post a pic when done .

Good lad shaun, looking forward to progress and pictures. The more pictures the better.

Hang on Hang on, what's this "post a picture when it's done"

We want photo's showing the build please :thumbs

And any problems you may come across.

this is a photography forum, you must have thought it was about modelling railways

:cool:

well almost got one done last night ,just got the wall to do great kit and very easy to make .



top pic just put the windows in and doors.

put the shell together starting to take shape .



well almost done just got the wall to put together but i cannot do untill ready to go on the layout.

 



well thats it for now just as i said before great kit and very easy to make just wish they would do a kit of a block of flats ( long over due) as i have not seen a good kit of one.  

You seem to be really cracking on with that shaun obviously the kit has been well thought out and easy to put together.

I looks like the whole model covers a large footprint area?

cheers Brian

mmm yes a bit larger than i thought i was going to do a street with houses on both sides but i think it will be thight.[user=52]enryparrot[/user] wrote:

Looks a good kit Shaun, and it also looks as if it goes together well, you might want to think about  running a felt tip pen the same colour as the card on the corners, to take a way the colour of the spilt card.

Who is that in the mirror in photo three, Mrs Shaun ?
