I'm considering buying the Pikestuff Machine Tool Center and I looked at the instructions available online from Rix which now owns Pikestuff. The instructions were almost all narrative, very little illustration, quite unlike other kits I've built.
If you've built this building, were there any glitches, surprises, unforeseen complications? Glad you did it?
Thanks for your help.

No experience, you have to right click on the very tiny picture on their website to get a good view. I think they are doing themselves a disservice to do it that way.

Pikestuff/rex kits are pretty mutch precut kitbashing material. You can build it anyway you like,pretty hard to screw up.
I built more then a few, none acording to thire plans
I have the kit, I wanted for a kit bash project, as I do with many Pikestiff things I buy, but I have not built it as shown in the the package.
It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I agree with the above comments, and have built a few of these buildings. They all fit together the same way. A series of wall sections with places to cut out holes for doors, windows, vents, etc. Similar roof sections with places for vents along the ridge line. The thinking part is planning how the structure will fit your space, and where to make openings for doors and windows.
At Dragon products batch plant on my layout, I have an office building with vehicle maintenance shop and a warehouse on the right front. Also a kitbashed structure on the front of the concrete silos
The engine shed is built mostly by the plans
