Now appreciate the difference between Skaledale models and basic toy buildings. The latter are plastic, self assembly and you have to apply the outside via self-adhesive stickers which are difficult to position. They are also untextured and glossy. It is also nearly impossible to apply the window coverings using sticky tape as suggested on the inside of the buildings. Also, if you have the sticky tape in the wrong place and peel it off you can peel off or crease the transfer on the windows.
