L'Instant Durable Mont St. Michel Build

[AlanH]

How did the build end up? I started working on the same kit and had some questions as how to score the E sections. The directions are not clear, and without any scoring lines, it's hard to determine how to make these big sections fit as the images of the completed model indicate. I'm somewhat of a newbie, but have been making models for sometime. I have recently built the Schneider-Bogen Cologne Cathedral, so I assumed I was up for this challenge, but stump on this step. I'm finished with sections A & B, but am looking ahead to this problem when it arises.

Hey AlanH did you ever finish your MSM? I’m working on it and getting close to the E sections

I built this kit some years ago, and remember that it went together quite well. Until I got to the mid and lower terrain that is - couldn't get it to fit no matter what. Is that what's happened here, I wonder?

[todzilla]

Hi Philip I wonder what didn’t fit for you? Was it the ribs that go under the panels? Or the panels themselves, or all the houses? I’m almost done and I’ll send some fotos

Take a look at this picture of the place.

Hello todzilla. My problem was with the panels themselves, but it was a long time ago and so I couldn't tell you which ones. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Got a bit side tracked. Now retired and not a lot to do. So... I am restarting MSM. I just did SBs Notre Dame for a warm up.
This is the first two days work. Still bummed about lack of instructions. I just going on the assumption that the part numbers are the build order, sort of. and you start with A and go to D. But hey it is paper, and I can always start again.

I'm pleased to see this thread back on the road...

Doug, that looks photoshopped to me, The Milky Way from the Southern hemisphere and Mount. Saint Michel in the Northern of
course. I don't think I'm counting rivets here.

Cheers, rjm

Quick question, What are these labels for? I thought the attachment piece was listed on the colored tabs. I went through the "instructions" and didn't see anything about them.
