These kits are laser-cut wood parts with etched details. No door or window castings are required or provided. All trim detail is etched into the wood.
Some skill or experience in building wood kits is helpful as well as some creativity in assembling, painting and detailing.
Included in the kit:
- A sheet of 1/16" laser-cut wood containing all the wood parts required.
- 3/64" milled angled trim for finishing corners.
- A length of strip wood to create a waterboard band around the exterior above the foundation line.
- Chimney casting (plastic.)
- Our own peel & stick roofing material.
- Downloadable Instructions in PDF format which you may examine now. Requires an Adobe reader
Historical info:
This kit was inspired by the Sears Modern Home 161, The Niota. Sears maintains an excellent archive website where you can see the original House 161 catalog page (and to see how I've taken some liberties with it.)
A great source of information about the Sears Modern Home series can be seen at the Sears Archive Pages
I will be releasing more kits based on this series, as well as some other interesting houses of classical American interest. Let me know if you have any favorites.
