Issue with 6 story hotel

Here's a picture of the 1st floor rear and the front. You can see the parapet molding I'm referring to in the 2nd picture

I don't have that one and my others are still packed away, but I believe all the ones I do have so far have a different front to them than the sides and back. Seems like there is a piece that is glued on to the front top or the front is higher than the sides and back. If I am understanding your question correctly?

 

 

       
       
what I tried to say is that all of the sides for the 1st floor have parapets or roof top molding that appears to have to be trimmed off so that the 2nd floor pieces will fit and line up properly. Nothing in the instructions indicates that this needs to be done.

Got it now, I mis-understood. Thought you were talking about the front being different and not lining up. I only have 1 and 2 story buildings from Ameri-Towne so far, nothing that tall. Yours does sound like something is not right somewhere.

 

I thik you figired out what I was going to post, but I didn't get any pictures in your posts.  I also note for some reason I cannot post pictures. Added attachments hangs up, freezes, half way through processing, it appears.

Lee, Are you using internet explorer when trying to upload pictures? That problem drove me nuts. Rich

No, I was using Chrome and Safari.  Whatever the problem was it was temporary and I can see everything now.  

I think this Hotel kit is a kit bash in a box.......A slight modification needed to make the normal 3 story structure into a 6 story. EZ modification with a razor saw. 

You're welcome, please let us know what you find out from OGR.

 

Hi Bill save yourself some time and just buy these MTH buildings and maybe weather them if you like just a thought,  30thstreet  

The MTH buildings are nice because you can buy extra floors or buy two and take them apart floor by floor and put them together into one.  I had two of the Susquehanna Hat factory (similar to the lower of the two above) that i took apart and made into a two story building (first two floors) and a ten story building.  I really like the first floor windows and the rolling alley door (which really works).  I don't like the frosted windows so much but they are easy to replace with clear.

Lionelbill....you are correct.  I think that something should be mentioned within the instructions or on the box that a little cutting is required.  I put one of these kits together and found the same thing you did..!!  What I did was I took a file and used the most coarse side to file down the top edge and then finished it off with a fine file.  Worked like a charm...

 

Thanks for purchasing the kit!!

HOLY COW LIONELBILL  you didn't read the instructions completely. i often wondered why they put those pieces of paper in the box. i guess its for us guys that can put everything together without needing them but then when the blasted thing doesn't work or fit together properly it seems like something to look at then. don't feel bad i think i've done that maybe once in my life or maybe twice that i will admit to.
