Lumber Yard & Office Kit

I hadn't built models since I was a kid, but this was easier than I remembered. Now that I'm retired I have plenty of time and patience to follow instructions and enhance kit parts with paints, leftover sawdust, old miniature vehicles I saved through the years and new figures available from HobbyLinc. The instructions are easy to follow and provide interesting scale information to make lumber stock out of real wood using a razor for definition of different sizes of lumber. Besides adding realistic looking lumber it was important to adhere to instructions for painting pieces before assembly. It took a couple of days to get this to look like the Hillside Lumber pictures I added. There is one piece marked 20 that looks like and antique bedwarmer that I saved because it was not in the assembly instructions. Also, the injection mold scrap had a cylinder shaped piece that I painted and hung on the dock wall to look like a fire extinguisher. Hope anyone who purchases this has a much fun and satisfaction as I did.

Excellent easy to put together now the town looks like it has a business to support it.

A great detailed easy to assemble kit. Made some lumber logs out of used “skeleton “ model left overs and painted the ends tan and staged in racks. A good Atlas kit that will look great on the train table I hope to eventually build.
