Miniart @&£%€¥+ houses !!

[Alan 45]

ok so I've had a crack at this today and bust my noggin! First I'd got all the walls done yesterday, so started building it today , walls didn't fit square so I had to chop some parts off , then the front didn't fit , 10 minutes and lots of glue later still no good , so I used my head ( not a wise thing with my brain at the best of times ) I thought put it on the base and match it up up that way and then whatever gap you have you can fill it , so going great until the last wall didn't want to play nice so I glued it and held it for a few minutes, let go and it was stuck to my fingers and went spinning across the room into door and it's all come apart again !!!!!


Rant over now where did I put my gun !

[PaulTRose]

lol.....ive only ever done a single miniart building.......i actually found the putting together easy..................now the painting/weathering.................thats another story lol

Stick to making your own Al'...Far better and much, much more fun!

I had the same problem some time ago....


Then I decided that the next time will try or buy other brands....almost with his building sets...

[Alan 45]

I can't understand it really you'd think if all the sides are square and level it would go together but it didn't , if I get any miniart again I'll just stick the front together and block off the back with plasticard, but I think I'll take rons advice , make my own


Glad to see I'm not the only one

[Richi72]

Must agree with Ron, make them yourself,


A- its cheaper (if you cant make a bargain somewhere)


B- building something yourself makes you feel better at the end (that's how I feel after a build)


but you can always use them pictures for ideas, at least i do (once in a while)


Cheers Richi

Sounds like you have really got a dodgy one Al...some seem to go together easy and others...well...you get em


Hope you can sort it.

[Alan 45]

Alan which one is that as given you so much trouble.Name and shame it mate so I can give if a wide berth in the future.i I was tempted to buy one last night but not so sure now.Might make my own instead.

Wow that was on my short list I'll see if I can pick a cheapo one up for £10 from somewhere and have a bash at one good look with the rest of it Alan

oh so sorry to hear your having so much problem with it,


and i can understand your well put it frustration with it,


another idea that may help a little along with the tabs is cut some foam,


the thickness of the wall,and hold in place with some tape,double side stuff,


and i tend to find that the inside wall will not match the window hole,and there is always a gap with them,
