Description
| |
Herpa's latest in the scenix series brings us houses and some relaxing recreational scenes for your models. How do they stack up? Read on!
Herpa says: "Let your airport diorama grow beyond the limits of the airport. Herpa offers the first accessories for airport locals. The set contains four semi-detached houses in the 1/500 scale, and you can start building your own adjoining suburb."

Scale:
1:500
Design: The houses included in this kit (4 in total) have a distinctive European look to them. With simple painted windows and doors they need a bit of weathering techniques to make them look a bit less like plastic. You can see the variety of colors included in the box. Remember these buildings are quite small, just a few cms square to be exact. The variet of color is a welcome addition, better than getting 4 of the same!
Details: ilting up the house we can see that there are no provisions for a type of light to shine through. This would be up to the end user to facilitate something of that nature. We hope Herpa would consider this in the future.
Realism: Minor details on the chimney and the distinctive European roof complement the set. Again some weathering techniques would help to make this look more realistic
