Or "Merry Hill"
Over the last few months, Minibox have come up with a few new kits. One is a 1:300 model of an Art Nouveau Museum, which doesn't seem to follow the usual Minibox patern but looks like an interesting build. The other is the subject of this thread and is 100% Minibox in the "Skalka" mould. The kit consists of many sheets - some postcard size and others A4, containing more than 20 buildings, Dozens of trees, fences and horses and carts. There are three A4 pages that make up the base. For some reason one of the pages needs to have an area from the middle cut out and placed on the side of the base. I've looked at various picture of the completed kit and they all have different ways of dealing with the void. I copied the ground pages and managed to make up an area that fitted the hole. I added a few buildings and trees to hide the space.
There is the possibility to contour the base but I decided to leave the base flat.
The kit is a copy of a real open air museum South East of Prague.

I enjoyed making the village but with all the trees it became a little monotonous. I made it worse for myself because there are many more circles, representing the position of the trees, than there are trees! so -- I ordered another lot of trees. It was worth the effort - the trees add so much to the overall model. One of the photos shows the parts needed for four trees with on completed - only another 40+ to go!

I ordered the kits and the extras by email from the above site. The postage seemed to be cheaper than it was in the past and the kits arrived promptly.
Look out for the other museum some time soon....
Cheers
