No section of the above is either finished or fixed, but at that point where you need to get it perched together so get an idea of how it will look. Having a kit without the setting part of a lower section to work to is not a good starting point, however, that as a) what I had, and b) where it needed to go. The lower section is the Wills clapboard sheet (one of) with a small Wills window and the curved top door from the kit, which took longer that I would have liked to get a reasonable fit.
Regardless, this is still top value for a fiver and some scraps. Moreover, it's modelling, as opposed to just assembly. Although there is a kit at the heart of all this, there is a remarkable amount of calculating and trial and error involved to get something close to what I want.
PS. Anyone got a lump or two of house coal that I can have? After years of an open fire I never kept more that a little in the scenic box, now used up. Gas central heating produces less modelling material.
