Working on this cardstock low relief building. Made by a British outfit by the name of
"SuperQuick." What I really need is something from an outfit called "SuperStupid," for
people like me. Anyways, it's definitely holding my attention. Has as many pieces as an
AHM kit, just that it's all paper and cardstock. Quite popular in Britain where space is tight and
budgets relatively small. People who are really good at this get astonishing results. In the
end it is supposed to look like this:
Hah, hah. We will see. Hopefully, it won't look like an oversized pigeon coop.

Actually, the clothespins were an inspiration. The different bits would unstick
as quickly as they were stuck, and I stumbled over these clothespins that
had been sitting and forgotten about for decades in the garage. They came
into fine use. I'm getting along, just have lots of bits of molding left over,
and if I can figure out where they go, this won't be SuperBad.
The trickiest part was getting the semi tubular bay front to behave
while the glue is setting, but even that appears to be on the road to
success.

I've built those twice, along with their really nice theatre, once as a teen and a few years back now. Never stayed together right. I've built other cardstock models that came out great. Ended up dumping them twice.

Can't wait to see the finished product, Chops. Some cardstock buildings look really nice and almost as good as plastic models.
