This kit consists of (2) two-story houses that I designed to be the "company housing" on my own N Scale layout. These easy to assemble kits consist of unfinished laser-cut 1/16" wood parts to build 2 complete houses. Also included are parts for a 1 one-car detached garage and 1 small shed-roofed addition which you can use as desired on one house.
Some experience and skill and some imagination in building model wood structures is helpful to complete these, those these kits can be sucessfully completed by beginners. No finish material or details are included. Picture above shows one of the two houses in the kit using the one addition and garage provided. The second "mirrored" house without the addition is not shown.
Window trim & sash are etched into the wood as shown. No castings are included or required for this kit. Stairs as shown are simple wood strips assembled with wood end caps.
Front panel from kit, to which we gave one coat of paint.
Required for finish:
- A very sharp, thin-bladed hobby knife
- Wood glue
- Adhesive and paint (non-solvent) for thin plastic roof covering.
- Fine sandpaper
- Paint (A thin paint or stain works best)
- Fine tip paint brush & a steady hand
Recommended detail parts such as chimney, railings, etc are not included. The roofing material that is included with the wood parts is plastic foil "corrugated" roofing. This requires careful installation and weathering as plastic solvent glues or paint will dissolve it. Many other roofing materials are available online and may be better suited to your tastes. (I do not stock other roofing material.)
