Review Summary

The reviews highlight the versatility and modular nature of these building kits, noting their adaptability for various city block themes and customization through painting, detailing, and mix-and-match assembly. Users appreciate the ease of assembly for learning the building technique, though some mention complexity in construction and minor issues like flash or inadequate materials such as the cardboard roof. The kits are also praised for their value, ability to serve specific layout purposes like adding a fire station, and potential for super-detailing both interiors and exteriors.

Outstanding Buildings

By: johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

I have several building units from DPM including a number of built-up complete kits as well as the building sections to make up fronts with windows and doors. These kits are useful in any setting and complete a city block scene with any theme in mind. The sections go together in almost any combination whether all kit parts or mix and match for a custom building and block. Painting and detailing the buildings are up to you as to how much extra you want from each building. Every building in a city scene is completely different than the one next door! Wear and tear on the buildings vary like anything people build, from bare brick to painted with five different colored coats of paint. It's your city block, so go to town as the saying goes.

Great For Learning And Superdetailing

By: imageArtCo@yahoo.com (Plymouth, PA)

Very easy assembly which will familiarize you with the DPM building technique. It also will lend itself well to much super-detailing such as interior and exterior details. My kit went together in a weekend and sold on eBay for more than double the price!

Perfect Accent

By: midnghtlord (Columbus GA)

This building actually serves two purposes 1 to learn how to assemble this particular brand and the other to add a volunteer fire station to a small town on my layout.
