The Roger Malinowski Tribute Part 3 - The Market

I have snuck in fifteen minutes here, fifteen minutes there working on this particular kit. This is the Market, part of the Stoney Creek Designs Crossroads Collection, a series of kits that were not part of his limited edition line of kits. This one is obviously based on the bakery in Silver Plume Colorado. However, the door way is squared off rather than the angled door on the original. Other than that its pretty darn close, by the way Banta Modelworks makes a version of this particular building as well.

I have run into a lot of issues with this kit, several self-inflicted, some by actually following the instructions. Because of that I'm doing a lot more dry fitting and trying to make sure everything actually fits. I think the biggest gripe with these kits is the 1/16th inch thick plywood that makes up the basic shell. Its really quite fragile during the construction phase. And those windows, they are huge! And I really messed them up, enough so that I think I'm going to try and find another unbuilt kit and try it again.

Obviously this one is not done, but since I can't seem to actually post anything I thought I would get something out there.
