Well, here it is, the 2008 Blacksmith Shop. As you can see it is loaded with detail. The kit includes everything you see except the track and the dirt. This is quite a departure from the kits I've been producing, in that it is more craftsman style  kit. Lotsa wood, loads of castings and dripping with character. This is no plywood box covered with stripwood. The walls are framed with 2x6's and covered with individual boards. To much work you say? Not at all, it's actually incredibly easy. All the horizontal framing members are laser cut and notched to for scale 2x6's. Along with pages of detail drawings, are construction drawings for each side. Simply tape them to your workbench, cover with wax paper, lay the horizontal pieces over the drawing and drop in the 2x6's. You'll have a perfectly framed wall in minutes!  There are so many exciting features on this one kit, I could go on and on....you'll just have to see it. The kit will ship following the National N.G. Convention in Portland, Ore. Footprint of the building is 6-1/2" x 7-1/2" ...PRICE  $235

J. Hunter Mercantile...This kit is based on the award winning model by Aussie artist John Hunter. This is also a kit in 2008, to be introduced at the N.G.Convention in Portland. Oregon. Notice the 50's style gas pump. The master was built by me expressly for this kit. It will be available separately at a later date. The other castings are from Wiseman Model works and Berkshire Valley...Price $145.00
