1 Story House w/Front Porch

Rix offers three versions of a basic small wood-sided house: front porch, side porch, and no porch. Theyre a bit pricey for what you get if you pay retail list, but at a discount price theyre good for building a neighborhood. Ive combined two kits to make a larger house, scratch-built a porch, and lowered the ridge by cutting down gable end walls because in California (as opposed to New England) roofs typically had lower pitch. I recommend painting the roofs different colors (flat greens, browns, or grays) and adding some details such as plumbing roof vents which kits usually omit. With leftover styrene sheet siding from scratch building projects, its easy to make compatible garages and outbuildings.
