Though a few tweaks required! ;o))<br /><br />My parents bought it for me Christmas 2011 and I couldn't make a start on it till after my house move for obvious reasons lol.So I've had a while to get used to it Janice and think of how to do it (though procrastination still sets in when I'm stuck on some of the changes I wanted to make on it)! <br /><br />I think it's very Diagon Alley...if you look, most if not all of the shops are at least 3 storey's high...though in kit form a challenge to do! ;o) Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145296680061222023.post-50461833832691278192015-02-06T21:27:48.510+00:002015-02-06T21:27:48.510+00:00This is a huge project Michelle.

MDF is a very porous material so anything you apply to it, it sucks it in when you need the glue to keep your kit together! lol <br /><br />I use both plaster and clay on my kits so it's more essential to seal the wood as MDF can warp much worse than plywood etc. On the inside you can use homemade primer, but it should contain 50/50 emulsion and PVA glue, not watered down emulsion. ;o))) Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145296680061222023.post-81444966684750739832015-01-29T21:56:41.517+00:002015-01-29T21:56:41.517+00:00It's all still very much a work in progress......It's all still very much a work in progress...even those doors and floors! ;o)) Glad you like is so far. ;o))Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145296680061222023.post-23011409925439683662015-01-29T20:14:30.794+00:002015-01-29T20:14:30.794+00:00Great post, is the primer you use is water based? ...Great post, is the primer you use is water based?
