HO 1 Story House

Very easy to construct and customize with a little paint.

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.

This item was study quality and looked nice under the tree. Painting will add to the look of the house but nice basic house.
