Over the years, MiniArt Ltd have released a number of 1/35th scale buildings. Now, the company have sent us News of their latest (In-Progress) kit.
The new building is:

35556 - Shed with Wooden Fence

As usual, the structure is constructed with Vac-Form styrene and the additional parts (in this case a section of wooden fence) is produced in injection-moulded styrene.

Now, the subject is more of a section of two-storey barn than a shed and is a reproduction of the kind of half-timbered structures seen in France, Belgium or Germany.

Now, although i've been a strong advocate of MiniArt for a number of years, this particular model strikes me as exceptional. Firstly, due to the subject. Secondly, the inclusion of an interior (not just a facade). Thirdly, the component parts could be equally adapted to other stuctures. Finally, the diorama potential with this is enormous.

Our thanks, once again, to MiniArt Ltd. for the Update!

Isn't that this same building (which I have in my stash).. with the added fence and table and bench and stuff from their accessory set? Or have they made any major changes to it? Hisham

Certainly looks like it... Strange, they mailed us to say it was a W.i.P. I'm now confused...

They have done the same with a recent release of the Russian city building(35016) and sproused it up a little by bringing out the same building but as a dio scene (36026) with fence, road and street accesssories! It looks as if they are just re-vamping some of their older kits.

Miniart may have addressed the fitting issues on the inside of the building . There was problems with the inner and outer walls not matching up on the main building . A lot of filler is needed on the earlier released building . This look like its going to be a very nice building to get a hold of with the fence running around the outside . I'm tempted just to get this one and compare the old with the new as it looks very crisp in detail . Michael

If that's true then I'm definitely interested.

looks like a nice building that I'd like to get my hands on, also looks like the light fixture is different too
