This French Farm Gate from MiniArt needs a little bit of work, but the result will be more than worth it. And the inclusion of a beautifull sheet of scale posters makes this a bargain.

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

This looks to open up good diorama possibilities...
I like the door within a gate look
As good as the posters appear (for other projects maybe) what are their relevance to a farm? Would it be common to see them plastered over the rough walls?

Hi Brad,

The posters are a typical MiniArt offering, as in that they always include a large number of different posters with all their building kits. Usualy in two different languages, i.e. the language of the occupied country and German ones. The movie and advertising ones are probably less relevant for this subject, but the Germans would not have had any qualms about slapping their propaganda poster where ever they would be seen.
Besides, despite MiniArt's tendencie to give their kits very specific names, this kit could also be used in a village scene, etc.
The posters can of course be used for any other building as well.

Good review Henk. Miniart must be congratulated for always giving something a little extra. All those extra pieces are a goldmine for dio builders.
A tip for those weak corners, where the plastic is "see-through" thin or actauly a hole, is to stuff the back of it with milliput, allowing some to come through and fill outside as well. Its better to do this before assembly as these may give way during painting or handling. When the milliput dries, sand it back to the original shape again on the outside, and the excess on the inside gives needed strength. This will be invisible after painting. I did this on the Ukranian house and it works well.
