Those are great. So much history in those small rural structures.

Outstanding work! WOW! What a great display of a variety of houses. Have you ever given thought to doing a replica of some of the great old houses of the late 1800's and early 1900's? I think you would do them proud!

Thank you. Like to use 3/16”acid free foam board for the shell. Evergreen plastic and strips for the trim and bay doors. Sandpaper for the roof. The bay doors are sheets of evergreen plastic and plastic evergreen strips for the panels. Windows and doors are either plastic strips or model railroad windows.

Wow, that is very cool! Can't wait to see future projects of yours!

Nice models! What do you make them out of? It looks like foam board or something is the "in progress" pictures...

Also, what about the bay doors? How do you make them?

I love every one of them. I swear I have have seen a prototype of each over the years. All of them are spot on.

Thank you Rich, very happy to be back, I have all the material ready to start a new 1/64 scale house but for the life of me, just have not had any good ideas for months. Guess it's a case of builders block!!

O scale build. One of these days I'm going to level that house siren!!. Too bad Corgi went out of production. They were great diecast models.
