Great for kitbashing, at the right price
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.
A Perfect Day Project
This is a neat little house kit that goes together in about a day, including painting. The construction is straightforward and leaves little room for mistakes. The kit lacks a floor which is disappointing but one can add flooring with a little extra time involved. I used Basswood to make mine. One note, there were some left over parts in my kit, I don't know why, but they came in handy, i.e. two sets of chimney parts.I also glued the main roof halves together and not to the walls so I could do some interior detailing later. I highly recommended this kit to anyone.
Very nice one story house.
My wife has been encouraging me to get back into model railroading and she got me this model for my birthday. This was the first model I had built in years so I was a little hesitant. But once I got started the build went very well. The instructions are well written and give good advice for detailing and weathering. I built this in four days. I took longer because I painted it and put in custom glass panes. All in all a great little model.
Good model for good price
The model was fairly good over all. It looks good when it's done but it's sort of hard to paint it. Some parts require fine painting. but it's good model that you can buy cheaply
good
I had read a review about this house and it warned that the porch was challenging, so I was prepared and planned for the best way to put the porch together and it turned out looking good.
I like this best so far.
I like this model because it was easy and fun to build. It has excellent building instructions. Does not require a high level og skill to build.
Well designed and easy to build kit.Very easy to put together.
Very easy kit to put together, the porch is the hardest part to put together. Looks great on any layout. Really looks nice painted up!
