Kit Building and Kit Adaptations

I am able to make any building kit for you and can adapt the kit in such as way that it becomes your unique model.

These are a few of the kits I've changed.

Stables to Cottage

I extended the front of the building to create a bay window, added a central chimney, and wrapped the shell in the TX271-00 Cotswold Stone paper.

Stone-built shop
to Timber Tudor-style Shop

I stepped the shop front back by about 5mm, and added a new front gable, to give the classic Tudor overhung style façade.

Terraced House and Shop
to Coach House Pub

I added an extra piece of wall between the two kits and moved the shop front over to open the passage way. A half boat full of flowers over the door completes the scene.

Pair of Cottages
to Cottage & Workshop

This simple change was achieved by moving the rear porch to one end and opening out one of the doorways.

Farm Outbuilding
to Station Building

By opening the rear wall, and adding a corridor with a booking office window, this multi-use kit has become a country station.

Container to Cafe

By adding a simple shelf & awning, the building site container becomes a small cafe.

Empty Shop

Here I've used a shop front, windows, parts of frets and weathered slates to make a small shop.

TMD Shed

By adapting the Temporary Portable offices and some walkways, I created the inside of a TMD shed as a photo plank.
