Review: Sarissa Precision Oldwest Hotel

Sarissa Precisions Promo shot

Well, before I took any photographs of the Hotel put together, there was quite a bit more assembly required than there was with either the Jailhouse or the Shack. There was significantly more assembly required than even the Church. Nothing overly taxing, if you know what you're doing, just a bit of PVA glue on a few window and door frames here and there, oh yeah and a feck load of rubber bands to hold everything together while it dries. Don't worry I'll explain...

Product Description


This is by far and away the largest Sarissa Precision Oldwest building I've brought to date. It's also easily the fiddliest to put together. As well as the 36 pieces in the picture above and the 9 wall parts and balcony, there are two floors and a roof. That's 48 pieces of HDF laser cut and etched wood in total. Fixing the normal window and door frames on is as easy as it was on the church, indeed the ground floor and balcony is as simple to put together as some of the smaller single story buildings they do. It was the second floor that caused all the problems. You see, rather than the walls clipping 'into' the floor, they sort of rest on it with a few tabs. Holding this all together without gluing it is impossible, and holding it all together while gluing it requires the worlds biggest elastic bands. That's my top tip for the day if you do decide to go for this piece.
