HO Chicken Coop

Chickens are too small even though coop is to expected size

I am sure the manufacturer made a good product in their eyes. Problem,it is not described properly. The Chicken Coop is Die Cast Metal on a "tree" which takes very careful trimming and is labor intensive in order to assemble. Who wants to spend hours carefully cutting and triming and fitting small metal pieces just to add realism to your model railroad? If the "Coop" was molded in PLASTIC like most kits it would be a breeze to assemble,fit,and paint. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a little extra work and the product is a great concept but not when casted in metal. If you make a mistake you are dead in the water. While plastic molded items can be repaired and modified to suit your taste. This is why I gave it one star.

Having bought there products, on other occasions, I expected a bit of fine tuning to clean edges. This one about wore my rasps out. After hours of clean up, I was able to paint and use. The final product now looks good.

Woodland should be ashamed. Die cast metal not plastic. This product is the absolute worst model kit I have ever purchased from these folks or for that matter any others. I have To label this as junk.

I would have liked the product at lease cleaned up for that price.
