... you are completely right. And I totally agree with you. I've assembled my first Vyškovský model way back in the 1980ies - and had great fun. In those years we »smuggled« ALBATROS kits across the Czech/German border near Karlovy Vary ... Oh dear - this is more than thirty years ago ...

Great looking build. Like the wooden shutters.

I live 5 km from Lichnice.

Just for fun, I show my personal way of assembling a Vyškovský papermodel in the first picture: All the components that I have (based on the
assembly sketches identified as belonging to a structural section) are prepared and initially spread out like a puzzle.
This is followed by a very time-consuming trial and error, how to put it together in which order.
Not always "fourty miles of dirty road" - but maybe a little less laborious if you understood the language. And as already
previously mentioned: The parts' numbers do not indicate the order of assembly ...

I think I need to do a few of these Vyškovský models. Lately I have been designing some buildings for an RPG game set in Venice. It is a rare thing to find a square-cornered building in Venice, and I am not successful in designing wonky buildings. These could be great practice.

Your method of connecting sub-assemblies is something I also fail at.

Thanks for showing that it can be done, and done well

Very cool, it looks like a fairly complex model...

Very nice, cleanly built

I know exactly what you mean about finding parts to make one building. The MPRII is the same.

I have just cut out one wall - part 22 - there are about 25 parts to attach - they range from part 32 through to 99.

... some progress with this nice model design ... :
