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
