Reviews : Design-Preservation The Other Corner Cafe Kit

Another great building from DMP . This one is a little more involved in the detail and window frames , but take your time and it will turn out fantastic. Use a tiny brush for fine lines . The roof material works wonders for window shading (use the extra pieces ) It could use more roof supports and some front window decorations ( Store front pictures ) to complete the look , but a wonderful building with great old town detail . You're gonna love it

I have built a number of DPM HO scale model buildings. Yes, some of the wall edges are beveled and need sanding to square. I use 100 grit paper, layed flat, then simply slide the piece back and forth over the sand paper keeping the piece square by holding it against a 1-2-3 block. Perfect results in a minute or two. If you don't like model building, buy the built-up version, but I get no enjoyment out of that.

This model kit, and other kits by the same manufacturer, are molded with two edges that are beveled. The manufacturer says this is done because of the molding process. You have to file/sand the edges to square the walls before the kit will go together like it should. Time consuming.

Love the big windows making it a dance studio good model easy to built lots of options for store front ideas

nice looking when complete easy instructions to follow great addition to my layout
