Thanks everyone for the advice
I've been back on the website and left a message on their guestbook. It's part of playmotown.de website, but when I went on there nothing was working so I don't think anyone is involved with the site at the moment.
I shall just have to be brave with the saw and some glue
Also has anyone had any sucess painting the rubber seats on furniture and cars? If so whats best? I've tried a primer first and it's not brillant. I'll be glad of any help.
Lot's of thanks to all, Emma.
I don't believe you need to cut and paste to build the same house
I haven't tried it out myself but as far I can see on the pictures, it is a way of playing with the connectors
as for painting the rubber seats : you cannot paint rubber or weak surfaces without using some tricks
first of all you need to degrease your part , just cleaning it is not enough
I suggest you put the parts two , three times in the dishwasher
Then there is the paint , when paint dries it becomes a hard surface
a hard paint on a weak underground gives the result that the paint will break afther a while
Therefor I suggest you search for a weakmaking additive to add to the paint
it takes way much longer to dry but your paint will not break anymore
Good luck
