About this Product
The Hillside is an S scale 2-story house (1:64). The kit is built with an MDF frame and chipboard siding, roofing, and decking. Once assembled it is very sturdy. Its overall dimensions are 14.5" wide x 9" deep x 5" tall. The conceptual photo shows the inspiration for this design.
The brickwork is cut in sheets and is easily assembled. The vertical siding is comprised of sheets that are cut to individual pieces. The decking is installed as sheets. The roof pieces are removable, as are the upper floor pieces, allowing access to the interior of the house. This isn't a cheap kit you will knock out in an afternoon. Plan to set aside some time to do this one right.
Like all of my kits, this is laser cut from 3mm MDF, with accents and extras cut from thin chipboard. The Hillside has a surprising amount of detail considering the scale. This is not a difficult build, but it does require some time and patience. There are small parts in these kits. They are not recommended for children under the age of three. I spent quite a bit of time designing and refining the Hillside, both the kit and the accompanying installation material. I am very pleased with the results, and I think you will be too. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Mod Miniatures
Meet the Maker
Mod Miniatures is a Colorado-based company that sweats the small stuff. My kits aren’t your typical Victorian-Era buildings, or cookie cutter designs. In my shop I create things that are a bit more modern, or maybe Mod is a better word. Cars with fins a mile long, hip mid-century furniture, shag so deep you have to rake it. That’s more my style.
How it’s Made
I design all of my laser-cut kits from scratch. I often wander through my mid-century neighborhood to draw inspiration for my next project. I also have a large library of books from the era, and I draw inspiration from these photos and drawings as weIl. I create kits in multiple scales from 1:144 to 1:12. All of them include comprehensive instructions. Any additional help or questions are just an e-mail away.
