Another solid kit. I love the completeness of this one, the fence on the end. And 9 other buildings, some are huge.

Knowing the canny use of moulds that MiniArt displays, I would not be surprised to see these as stand alone issue before long. They sell the sprues with windows, doors etc from their building kits separately as well. My Hetzer has been sitting on a shelf, waiting impatiently for the German Shed... Cheers Henk

That is great news. I especially like the diorama bases with a little piece of a ruin or similar in the corner. It will be very helpful for small dioramas.

i have to agree it good to see, a manufacture producing these in plastic at the price they do. It certainly helps with the budget for the younger Diorama builder cheers Keith Forsyth

For sure it helps ! Vacuform is maybee a bit hard to work with and need some putty, but how many times have you open a dox containing buildings in plaster which was already bombed and explosed in one thousand tiny pieces ?? Personnaly a lot of time ! Their building are so nice !! so imaginative, details are now numerous. The only regret I have is that there is so few intact buiding. The french farm yard is a good start in the right direction !!! Why not making smaller buildings, but not damaged. I agree it's easier to make a complete house from a partiall ruined house rather than make a ruined house from a complete one, especially in vacuform !!! Anyway I'm so glad and excited this manufacturer coming from the east are doing so marvelous things at a reasonnable price. Keep coming ! Julien

Julien, I agree with the added work VF kits require, extra putty, extra seams, etc. I agree too that the creativity of these kits outweighs these items. And once you build one or two you get the techniques down pretty well.

Looks like some very cool stuff coming out from MiniArt I have a couple of their other buildings and I think they are great ! Henk has some really good threads here on Armorama on how to build them. I too "grew up" on those plaster buildings from Verlinden, Custom Dioramics, and others, and these MiniArt vac-form kits look like they will be fun to build. Thanks for posting the news, Jim. I look forward to these new kits coming out. Cheers !! Robert

Very interesting stuff indeed, I havent paid Mini-Art much attention before, but I certainly will from now.

Wonderful stuff. I just ordered one of these for the first time. Now, next time make a northern Africa building and I will be a very happy modeller
