Another lovely model from Dave. The perfect addition to any harbour setting, It would nicely as part of a warehouse district too. Initially I found it a little daunting as it incorporates features I hadn't previously attempted, like the support beams under the crane dormer. The new detailed instructions are a god-send, as they clearly show how every step is done, complete with photos and modelling tips. Normally I would object to the ink usage but I can only applaud Dave for making life a lot easier. Every part fitted together nicely and I was able to complete this model in three hours from printing with no loss of quality. The base needs some care to ensure a good fit of the side panels. The hole for the crane arm should cut out very carefully with a sharp knife to ensure a good fit and hook is very tricky to cut out. That being said, even a novice should be able to make of good job of this one. As extra bonus, you get a 15mm version ready to print on a single page. If you never build another DGM model, which I doubt, build this one.
