As the title states, Antenocitis Workshop (https://www.antenocitisworkshop.com) has a big sale going and I have long drooled over their pre-painted terrain and resin cars.  Because I don’t have enough projects and really needed an excuse to delay painting the foam core building (not really, it is being painted in small bursts) I placed an order.  I didn’t really think about how much was in it until the big box full of smaller boxes arrived.  I knew I couldn’t, in good conscience,  just put these in a plastic bin for “later” and began assembly immediately with the Tiny Traders and the Nexus piece.  Most sets come with printed instructions that look a bit out of order but work.  The big Nexus building has instructions online and I heartily recommend following them as it is a slightly complex kit.

Okay, it all looked smaller online.  There's a lot to build here.Okay, it all looked smaller online. There's a lot to build here.

Such a cool design and table ready when assembled.  I will add weathering to the set once it's all complete.Such a cool design and table ready when assembled. I will add weathering to the set once it's all complete.
All the units are designed around a similar structure so once you have assembled one the rest go quicker.All the units are designed around a similar structure so once you have assembled one the rest go quicker.
Pay attention to the subtle differences in the black plastic banding pieces as there are actually two slightly different cuts.Pay attention to the subtle differences in the black plastic banding pieces as there are actually two slightly different cuts.
The biggest task, with pre-painted kits, is removing all the tape from both sides.  All those laser cuts create tons of tiny bits and pieces to remove.The biggest task, with pre-painted kits, is removing all the tape from both sides.

Still a few bolts to uncover but they look great.Still a few bolts to uncover but they look great.
These were too cool to pass up and assembled in no time at all.  Like the Nexus, they will need some weathering.These were too cool to pass up and assembled in no time at all. Like the Nexus, they will need some weathering.
