Tool Shed (Laser-Cut Wood Kit)

Bought this and a plastic signal tower as my first two n scale models. Hadn't built any models since my teenage years. The laser-cut model has a lot of detail that I like. The instructions were impossible to read but I emailed GC-Laser and received a PDF the next day. I could have built the model without their instructions but it was helpful having it to reference. I WILL BUY more GC-Laser products. They pieces are really small and my fingers too fat so the shed didn't come together as tightly as I wished. I used an Artist Loft pen (Burnt Umber) to color the wood and a black felt pen for the frames. I weathered the shed using both rust and black weathering powder. If I did it again I'd use a lighter brown. I was surprised how much the weathering shows up in my photos.

This is a great little tool shed that weathered very well, HOWEVER, the instructions are horrible as others have mentioned. They seem to be a copy of a fax of a typed copy from the 30's LOL!!! The instructions seem dated as well as some of the parts aren't used that I could see. I still give it 5 stars because it IS a great little kit.

Be prepared to work with very small parts. Builds into a nice little building. Some issues with the side end detail on small tool box, which attaches to the shed.
