Project Update: Houligan's Alley by FSM

I have gone through entire instructions at this point. I am a little disappointed. Starting about somewhere towards the middle exact count of stripwood pieces needed disappears. It needs to be eyeballed or measured and counted. I have decided to account only the stripwood that needs to be painted. The process of preparing and painting I go through takes a little bit more time and is a bit inconvenient to do just few pieces at a time. Everything that gets stained with A&I can be done when it is needed. Well, maybe 15-20 minutes in advance.
Other than that I am having fun. I don't know if that is because I have been doing Bar Mills kits for so long and I needed a change or because Mr.Sellios packs so much fun into those yellow boxes...

  1. My experience with FSM kits is that the instructions guide the modeler in the basic skills to build the kit first and then progressively introduce more advanced skills as the kit progresses along. By the end Sellios no longer "hand holds" the modeler as it is expected the necessary skills to finish the kit have been learned already.

    Your kit is coming along great.
