Well, I just got a Pikestuff model yesterday and decided to assemble it. I had a little difficulty because I didn't have access to a hobby knife, only a utility knife (carpet cutter). I was able to make it work. I really liked the kit. It was easy to assemble, even though the instructions were a little vague. The structure I assembled was the enginehouse, model #5000. I still have to add the drainspouts and some filler in the joints/cracks between pieces, and then some paint, but since this is going to be a kitbash with another structure, I will do that later. The ability to decide where I wanted the openings to go was nice, since the structure will not be used as an enginehouse and I didn't necessarily want many windows or doors. This, combined with another Pikestuff structure will creat a shed in which to house a coal dumper mechanism, that in reality doesn't exist. Overall, this is a nice kit. <br />Reed
