Product Description:

If you have a student interested in construction, architecture, design, or just model-building, you should be sure to check out this kit. Though it may seem a bit pricey at first, it includes everything you need to build a 3/4" scale wood frame for a 2-bedroom house, in accordance with actual building codes. You get micro-cut balsa wood, cutting tools, measuring tape, layout pencil, nails, custom miter fixture, nine working drawings, an instruction booklet, and a base to work on, which doubles as a foundation for the completed model. Obviously (with a base measuring approximately 1.5' by 2'), this is a miniature version, but short from framing an actual house, this is as close as students can get. All of the walls can be framed right on their patterns on the working drawings. The completed model is a single-story, hip roof house with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, hallway, dining, and living room. An amazing gift or fun way to spice up your studies. ~ Rachel

What kind of cutting tools are included?
Kristin on Jan 23, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Mini saws and mitre blocks are provided. Truthfully all you need is a razor the wood is so soft. Nails seven go in like push pins.
Does this provide step by step instruction or are you to figure out all the dimension for the frame?
A shopper on Oct 19, 2019
BEST ANSWER: It provides step by step instructions: You get micro-cut balsa wood, cutting tools, measuring tape, layout pencil, nails, custom miter fixture, nine working drawings, an instruction booklet, and a base to work on, which doubles as a foundation for the completed model.
After assembly, is the framing kit permanent or is it reusable?
A shopper on Jul 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The manufacturer does not specify, however, due to the mitering and the nails used to build the home, I suspect this is not reusable.
can i actually live in this ?
A shopper on Nov 30, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It depends. If you are the size of a mouse, you could probably fit through the doorways.
Good one...
How large is this house?
A shopper on Oct 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The dimensions are 12 x 4 x 24 inches and the supplier notes it is 3/4" scale.

Great project for father/daughter
My daughter is really enjoying this kit. It takes time and us quite realistic to true home construction. We only have 3 walls built so far... Looking forward to the finished product.
