Farm House 1
Item No: MPD058FarmHouse1
SOLD OUT Due to repeated requests to produce our stylized art piece as a kit, we finally have the first in a series of farm buildings available. The photo below is the impetus for this kit. We've worked hard to incorporate a higher level of detail than with our previous kits, primarily in the refinement of the laser cutting process. We continue to lead this particular market in offering innovative laser cut items that other companies are striving to imitate. This kit inlcudes two full sets of doors and shutters, which will allow for the option of depicting a farm house in good repair, or with more aged wood elements. The photo below shows the detail of the wood grain, delicately etched into the card.  Instead of casting the roof section as a sculpted resin piece, we have included laser cut rafters and shingles that besides looking precisely to scale, afford the opportunity to customize the roof to show damage or disrepair. The kit also includes a variety of graphics to replicate the advertising so common on rural walls. Five full color reference photos give good examples of color and texture from real buildings to help with painting. The stacked stone style of building is taken from reference in Normandy and Auvergne construction and the layout is inspired by wine growers houses in Alsace-Lorraine regions of France. With some modification, the building can be located in Italy, Yugoslavia, Southern France and many other Mediterranean locations. This kit measures 10"W x 4.5"D x 9"H (25cm x 11.5cm x 22cm). It will make an excellent environment for your figures and armor kits. Because of the significantly higher costs involved in creating Farm House, the production run has been limited to just 50 kits. The versatility in choices for finishing, the opportunity for super detailing by adding an interior and the exceptional quality in both resin casting and laser cutting dictate the retail price. We regret that we will not be able to offer these 50 kits through our distributors. Thanks to one of our customers, we are adding an early review of the kit here:PLEASE FEEL FREE TO QUOTE: I have ordered some other products, the French magazine stall and the piano (which were great) , but this kit is magnificent. I ordered it from Canada and received it within 10 days. The kit was well-packaged and contained more than i expected including very helpful photographs. I cannot wait to tackle it in january. It was my Christmas present to myself and it was well worth it. Thanks guys and I will be ordering more of your products in the New Year.Postcript: I know, sounds like a soap commercial but I am really impressed with the kit. it's great you include the photographs. i am from winnipeg originally and used to purchase the custom dioramics products (they started in winnipeg) before they were taken over by verlinden knowing that what was on the cover of the box was a bare representation of what was in the box. but now, you have really raised the bar. please keep me up to date on your new products. these are great and so imaginative. just thrilled to get a great kit in the mail and no disappointments!! what i love is that you make it clear to the purchase what exactly they are getting and then surprise us with more like those photos. man, i am stoked tonight!Peter HoggCrown ProsecutorVancouver, Canada THIS ITEM IS SOLD OUT, NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
