Presenting my first "building" type kit, the LELE 30006 Palace Cinema with 2404 Pcs. It also very nicely lets you know the dimensions off the finished thing on the box so that's good.
Lets start with the box and the manual
Nice quality box and good box art. The manual for a change does not look cheap . And I also realize has a problem with some of the colours shown for the parts. Took a while but I managed to figure it out. Another point of caution, like all kit makers, I had separated the blocks to find them easier later and also to check for any missing parts. I "found" two parts short which I ordered and then realised it was actually just one part short so take your time in sorting out the pieces and counting them.
Having said that, lets dive in
The detailing for the level 1 is very very impressive. The build quality is pretty good but some place, the gaps between the bricks is quite obvious. However from a distance, it looks fine. On to level 2 now.
And again, the detailing for level is good as well though much simpler. The good thing is that the levels can be separated easily for viewing without having to pull the parts apart. On to the rooftop.
Sorry for the delay. I was busy with personal issues so let's start again.
Nice detailing for the roof. Though some of the "tiles" are under stress from being fixed together. So some parts, I think the fit is too tight.
Now for the only major complaint so far. If you look closely at the sign for Palace, you will realize that I had to use some scotch tape to hold the pieces together. The long strips had some warping so that pieces were not holding together. Doesn't look that great from up close really.
Nice touch with the car and the flood lights. All in all, decent kit. Nice fit and no pieces missing so that is always great. Except for the Palace sign, nothing to complain about.
Next kit, I will be working on will a Technics kit.. Thanks for visiting.
