Features

Pull in for a good night's rest at this charming roadside motel. First appearing in the 1950s alongside busy US highways, many are still in use today.
The main office is done up in a streamline moderne style and comes with canopy and rooftop Motel sign, laser-etched sidewalks and curb, plus optional flagstone wainscot. Two four-unit motel units are provided, which feature tab and slot scribed walls, roof and floor. Peel-n-stick doors, windows, gable vents, trim and laser-cut printed 3-tab roofing are all included. Decorative porch posts and laser etched sidewalks, plus a rooftop "Sunset Motel" sign provide the finishing touches. Parts are included to build a spectacular laser-cut sign for the front, a soda machine, and additional full-color signs (taken from photos of actual hotels) are included to customize your structure.
Finished model measures: Office w/Canopy: 2-5/8 x 1-13/16" 6.6 x 4.5cm Each Motel Unit: 3-1/2 x 1-1/2" 8.8 x 3.8cm

Fun Kit to build

By: Brien Mitchum

I had a good time with this kit, lots of cool details included. The only drawback is the walls are really thin and I had one break on me but was able to save it, and you have to be careful when snapping walls into slots especially with the thin walls putting any extra or pressure at all will break them. Over all was a good kit to build.

An easy build that looks great!

By: wtcasper (Westminster, CO)

Just like all Blair Line Kits the parts were cut precisely and fit perfectly. The sidewalks added to the base of each building saves a step later on. The instructions were clear and without error. The only criticism I have is that there was no trim on the corners of the office. This means that you must spend extra time painting the ends of the joints to blend with the wall -- the ends don't take the paint well.

Excellent product! Great detail and easy to follow instructions. I added lighting to buildings as well as the road sign!
