Well it looks like Interaction Hobbies is continuing with it's tradition of a free Christmas themed kit. Last year I built their Christmas Tree dealer kit. This Year they have introduced their Santa's Workshop kit. It's a free kikt that you get when you purchase 70$ or more of their products. I had a few kits on my wish list so this made me press the order button.
It's a cute little kit whose footprint is 3 3/8 X 3 5/8" and apox 2 stories high.
So what you get is laser cut walls, windows, foundation, doors glass and a whole bunch of Cristmas add-ons. I suppose that if you just wanted the building to be a regular shop or garage, you could just leave the Christmas themes off (but what fun would that be?)
I started with cutting the walls out of the clapboard siding sheet.
Then I added the wall bracing. It's all laser cut as well. On the instructions recomendations, I added some scrap stripwood to block off the lower rafter holes. This makes adding the rafter tails to the right depth easier later.
Then I brushed the walls in A&I and I'm letting them dry before painting. The instructions have very good painting suggestions, but I'm doing it a bit differently.
