Hard to tell how they turn out from the pictures. Look a lot easier than Campbells or Muir.

I’m guessing no one has actually built one.

Only one way to find out I guess

I dunno about easier, but wow those are nice. I liek the full interior walls. Reminds me of a project I did in 5th or 6th grade, we had to draw the plans for a house and build a model of it. My grandfather helped me cut up the 1/8 plywood to make the walls and interior, and I made it so you could lift off the roof and then pull out the second story interior to see the first floor. Definitely NOT HO scale - I think a little large for G scale even. I don;t have the drawing part of it to determine a scale, but I think the structure still exists buried in my mom’s attic.

A couple of those houses look like I could easily get away with using them for my area. I guess they are specific models of houses in Durango and SIlverton but no one has to know… shhhhhh! [;)] Dunno if I’d want to build one of those as my first laser kit though.

I have built 2 of the wild west models in O scale. They are fabulous, the walls are self squaring. Easy assembly, very detailed instructions, the instructions are actually a spiral book with lots of pictures,notes and finishing and gluing tips. Everything is pre-cut. One of the best kits on the market-for Beginners and Master craftsman alike.
