hey thanks! i've always wanted to build a diorama made by Mini Art, but it looked too difficult for me since i'm just a novice modeller. now i will definitely go out and get my first Mini Art kit and use the link as a guide. I guess Dragon USA Online will be a good source?

I've always been a fan of Mini Art buildings. I found that they're not as hard to build as they look. Try that EARLYBIRD08 coupon at Dragon before you get your miniart item though, last time I checked there's a 10% discount on some items.

hey, that coupon has expired, it won't work anymore. They always have discount on Fridays though, sometimes on MiniArt items too. I would wait until tomorrow and see if they have some new deals.

Can anyone get the videos to work. I get an error message.
If the fine folks at Mini-Art happen to read this they should do what most companies are doing these days. Just put your videos on YouTube. Their servers can handle almost any load.
For painting of a Mini-Art type building you should check out Compendium Films newest video by Marcus Nicholls. He does a great job with his video on "Realistic Model Buildings". Review forthcoming.
Just got an email from Dragonusaonline, they have a 10% off coupon for Mini Art items. MINFEB08 is the magic word . I knew they're going to have something on Fridays, just didn't know it'll be so right on!! Next I'm off to predict the weather LOL
