Customer Comment about Platelayers Hut Card Kit

"The kit went together really nicely without any fettling. I found the instructions easy to follow with good explanations. I used Daler board to build the model as I didn't have any 0.75 mm grey board. This actually turned out really well as the corner wraps were the perfect size. despite the board being a lot thicker"
