The K-Line North Pole Village consisted of five structures and I'll be posting them in item number sequence. I must say that K-Line actually used a bit more creativity putting this set together than they did with their previous two Christmas villages. Using what tooling they already had was of course expected, but the graphics used was a notch above their previous efforts. Unlike the other two village sets wherein each individual kit had a copy of the assembly instructions, this set has one master assembly 'manual' - see yesterday's post.
The first structure we'll post is their Flight Control Tower - an excellent detail for any North Pole village. I can imagine during the off season when all the reindeers are in flight training that the skies above the North Pole get pretty congested! 😄 The tower building was not made to simply snap together like all the other K-Line buildings as the two wall assemblies are meant to be glued together. HOWEVER, I cheated. I used the Christmas bulb sticker decorations like tape and simply 'taped' the walls together. That way I can disresemble the structure and put it away. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Notice the 'bulbs' which are printed on clear acetate - essentially just adhesive tape - and how they wrap around the corners. This is how the walls stay together without gluing them!
On this wall there should have been a sign reading "NORTH POLE CONTROL FLIGHT TOWER", but I'm afraid I messed it up - oh well! 😔
