I have 2 lifelike kits to review. (read it before you pass them off as junk) <br />the first is their Mount Vernon Manufacturing kit. i have only just aquired it, cheaply. Looking at it, i think that it represents exellent value, to someone on a budget. Some weathering would make it look very good, but it just assembled looks great. I have chosen to not weather it, for the time being. <br /> <br />It is alot smaller than i expeceted, but has a modular construction, and you could use as many kits to make it bigger. <br /> <br />Some kitbashing ideas i have came up is using it as a jail, warehouse etc. <br /> <br />In conculsion i would deem itto be an excellent kit for anyoun, it would take 3 hours at most with some weathering. i would rate it 8 out of 10.[:D][:D] <br /> <br />The next kit is the Ace Supermarket kit, which i have had for a few weeks. It also remains unweathered. It has been lighted, and the walls don't glow much, a quick glance doesn't notice it. <br /> <br />It has much interior detail, so painting could be a bit tricky, but through the plastic you can't easily see all the detail. <br /> <br />I can't think of any kitbashing ideas for this kit. <br /> <br />I would allow 3 hours to assemble and weather this kit <br /> <br />In conculsion i would think this kit to be an excellent kit for anyone who is confined to a budget, or wants something cheap to practice weathering on, etc. I would also rate it an 8 out of ten <br /> <br />To sum up both kits i would consider them to be great kits for someone on a budget, i think that they are pretty good <br /> <br />Now i have told you what i think ofthese kits, you can tell me what you think. <br />Thank you for reading this <br /> <br />Happy modelling <br />Alexander
