Re: Experiences with San Giovanni Battista?
Welcome "kritter" LOL
I don't have experience with the San Giovanni yet but it is on my shelf for the future. After I opened the kit and recovered from the shock of seeing all the metal I did take the initiative, to try to convert as many metal parts as I could into laser etched wood. All of the gratings, many doors, and other stuff were converted. I did receive those pieces and they look great! A major improvement! Not all of the doors and windows that I gave them were converted but they did scan them into the computer and are now pending.
Contact Steve Owen at Double O Laser, he may not have the completed conversion kit up for sale at the moment but should very soon or sooner if you have good persuation powers...

Good luck
