Beautiful example of a steam train when complete.
Please Hobbycraft put a note on this item as it is definitely an advanced Diamond Dotz kit for two reasons.
Firstly, unlike your other kits of which I have done many, the Dotz do not touch each other when you apply them so there is some space between and you have to be very careful to keep the lines straight.
Secondly, the canvas colours are very dark (even with the light coloured Dotz) so you need to strictly follow the symbols, rather than following the colour AND the symbols which is much easier, as in the other kits.
Having said that, for a train enthusiast this is a FANTASTIC picture when completed and framed, and because the coloured Dotz are much lighter and brighter than the canvas, the picture just COMES ALIVE when you are doing it, which is lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My advice would be to start with the ground or the sky and not the train first and then to do the colours from light to dark, finishing with the black.
I have never left a Review anywhere before but didn't want a youngster who is a train enthusiast trying this as their first Diamond Dotz kit because it is an advanced one and very difficult for a beginner.
Have fun!
