Part of the DIY Miniature House series, Mose’s Detective Agency is a fun and creative set! The moody décor includes a typewriter, a map plotting out a case, and a box of evidence, among other decorations fitting for a detective’s office. Warm LED lights illuminate the room at night, creating a cozy atmosphere. This model room looks great on a bookshelf or desk all lit up! Materials are plywood, fabric, and paper. Requires 2 AAA batteries. The finished room measures 7.95 x 5.83 x 6.22 inches. This kit is designed for ages 14 and up. ~Sara
Students of all ages with an eye for detail, décor, construction, architecture, and miniatures will enjoy the completeness of these kits. Each element has to be built using the pieces provided. What an exercise in patience! True model-builders will want to do them all! I like that you can select from a variety of levels, from a wee kitchen-corner setting to a complete greenhouse build. Instructions are image-based with very little reading.
I used to have actual dollhouses that were a 1:12 scale (one inch in the dollhouse equaled one foot in real life). The kits seem close to this scale. While the separate kits do not assemble to create an actual dollhouse, you could display them on a bookshelf and create the sense of a dollhouse-type project. You could have a high school art student add a kit as an element of an art credit.
If you have a child who can focus for a long time, they may want to work on their kit non-stop! However, most will choose to complete one or two components at a time. Materials are often cardstock, wood, fabric, with some metal and occasional plastic. Any batteries for lights are included, as well as adhesives and paint. You will need your own scissors. The many small parts make these not safe for young children.
There are currently 3 sizes of kits. The smaller kits in green boxes are the simplest. Light blue boxes are medium size with intermediate challenge. And the largest kits are the most detailed. These are in brown boxes.
