I bet it will be you, John :D. Chambord is on my list, of course, but not in the near future...
What do you think of Azay-le-Rideau? The model on the front cover looks terrible
Was it hard to assemble it properly, as I can see in your picture? -
Hi Ricardo.
Yes, I felt this model was poorly designed. It was extremely difficult to build. The towers and the machicolations above were expected to float freely and hold their shape. Along the straight walls, the overhangings (machicolations) required significant reinforcement. I ended up ripping a 1/4" x 1/4" strip of MDF to keep everything in line.
It's a nice model to look at from a distance, and it fills out the chateaux collection, but it bears no critical inspection at all. Some roofs of the towers are tipped. -
Thanks for the tips, John I don't know how the model looks at close range but, in your pictures, it looks very well

Well Ricardo, it looks like I did get to Chambord first. Here is the completed collection with its addition.
