I believe that is a reasonable price if the kit is complete. But Jeff Grove might have a better answer for you as he has built the kit.

Bill, I have built that one twice....you can see some pics of it on my web site www.carolinacraftsmankits.com they will be in the work photos section, you will just need to scroll thru the pics till they come up....the first thing to do with that kit (or any of the Master Creations products) is to get the instructions out, carefully unfold and or get them in numerical order.....and then throw them away!!! they are worthless.....you will be on your own building it.....nothing makes any sense...... :(( :((

From what I have seen you would pay a lot more than this on eBay. A great looking kit when built well with some lovely stone work and nice changes in height.

Cheers, Mark.

It is one of the rarer kits, the price is more than fair, just not for a bottom feeder like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$150. If someone paid me that much I might take it off their hands.

I love the look of a lot of the Master Creation kits. But after building one, I said never again. I did not enjoy building the kit. They look great, but are miserable to build.
I enjoy building kits from FSM, Barmills, FOS, Downtown Deco, and others. But not a MC kit.
