Design Preservation Models HO 11500 The Other Corner Cafe Kit

The kit was fine but I am not artsy enough to make it look good. I prefer the Built and Ready units

This is junkiest kit I've had yet. Arrives in a plastic bag, not a box. One wall was warped so adjoining walls didn't fit right, and the roof is just a piece of cardboard. Don't follow the instructions putting the walls together - they won't line up right. Aside from the exterior architecture, there's precious little detail.

This building looks great right next to the Front Street building. Light it up and put some dart boards near the windows for viewing.

DPM makes great kits and this is another example of that. These are simple to build and not too difficult to detail. The price also leaves you where kit bashing, customizing or super detailing are all great possibilities. That means that this kit can be used for the foreground or in the background with equal success.

Nice model. Came well packaged. Was easy to assemble. Looks great on my layout after much detailing .
