Vacuform in braille scale - very intriguing. I'm really curious to see a review of this guy.

By the looks of the parts, I don't think it is vacuform, looks like styrene to me. Never seen vacuform on a sprue like that before.

Looks short run to me. Congratulations to all braillers for the new home anyway!

Looks like a very useful kit, to bad it's in braile scale

Nice looking house for the braille-scalers. If only they would do the 1/35 scale buildings in injection molded styrene... they would so much easier to build. Oh well... Hisham

It may be a combination of molded and vacuform - like most of their 1/35 buildings. The windows and detail stuff is molded on a very useful runner, which is sold separately. I once suggested that if the inner and outer halves nested, instead of meeting on the edges, they would be a lot easier to assemble and stronger. But my suggestion seems to have gotten lost in translation.

But a lot more expensive to produce. I've built a few Miniart buildings and if you follow the instructions on their site they go together well.
