Got it from PSC – a lovely building and my first experience of pre-cut MDF. I recommend it (though the instructions are not quite perfect there's no problem). I also made progress with a Normandy scenario I am writing for SOTCW. |

Many Sarissa building have a YouTube video showing how to make them – YouTube link YouTube link for the chateau, for instance. |

I found no need for a video as it was all pretty straight-forward. I put plastic tube along the roof edges to improve the appearance and painted the flat roof and these tubes gunmetal so as to look like lead. |

What a coincidence, I am sitting down later this afternoon to put this piece together (also my first MDF building experience). Did you use PVA wood glue? |

I used Evostick mostly, with superglue in a few places. It glued very well and quickly: I suspect PVA would be fine but take longer to cure. There were a few places where the slots needed filling around the side: I used Vallejo plastic putty, with Milliput on the joins of the additional plastic tube to round the ends off to look like worked lead roofing sheet. |

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. |

The material does suck up paint. I used Miniature Paints and Vallejo (both acrylic), with rather old Humbrol Acrylic gun metal. |
