On the laser kits to you have any problem with warping them over time?
Bruce
Being this is my first laser cut kit I am learning as I go, the long walls had a slight bend to them right out of the box, the openings for door and windows and the window subassemblies need a tiny bit of filing to fit snug with out breaking the wall.
Painting may be of concern as for warping. Tips I got from others who have built kits like this is to use supplied bracing and make additional bracing if necessary. I am using Gorilla wood glue no issues so far. I want to add lights to the outside and maybe do an interior as well. From what I have learned so far is do not rush but take time and enjoy the build.
I bought the kit from NMRA Mid central Division 6 the have them in HO, S and O scale. I got the O scale rather then the S as I figure bigger is more forgiving then the smaller scales when there is a mistake. If kit turns out alright when finished there are 3 kits I would like to try.
