It would glue with Plasweld and BritFix (eventually), although I often braced corners and joints with old spare bits of sprue and PlastiCard offcuts. The multi kit was different and much harder to work with, although I did make a couple of structures. <br />On the whole I was happier bashing the larger buildings into flats/low relief. Not much help now, I know as they are all but unavailable....<br />Missing Victors, LSWR and Scale Rail!<br />Andrew KnightsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056940089155937981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-19379124131905545112021-01-25T07:13:59.347+00:002021-01-25T07:13:59.347+00:00Hi Chris,

This was when I could wander into Scale Rail at Eastbourne and get them off the shelf.<br />I started with the "Modular Learning Kit" which went together very well as a small workshop.<br />I painted "Joe's Garage" along the top of doorway which I remember you commenting on at the time...<br />After this I bought some of the modular sections with the idea of building a similar low relief structure to the one you're working on but found similar problems with the plastic being very hard and difficulty in getting it all to line up. I used EMA Plastic Weld but found it wasn't as effective as usual. I think I gave up on the idea in the end although I remember a section of building with a part broken off (due to brittle plastic?) and no windows fitted lurking in a box until fairly recently. <br />Oddly I recall no problems with the N gauge DPM stuff I used to make a loading bay wall either in gluing or lining up...but then, the H0 Modular Learning Kit seemed fine.<br />I think I've still got some of the N gauge stuff somewhere...will have a look and see how easily the plastic breaks(!).<br />Stig.Simon Hargraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026455397775065689noreply@blogger.com
