Corner Shop Kit in Quarter Scale from Petite Properties

Monday June 29, 2009

Fans of half scale are probably well aware of the entire towns created in this scale by Petite Properties, but now quarter scale builders can enjoy the same details in a new series of quarter scale kits the company is producing. These kits are priced reasonably, have simple, sturdy, precision cut parts, and include a booklet with details on how to create beautiful finishing details from air dry clay and card. With the widening range of quarter scale kits and accessories, this is a popular scale for small scale dolls houses, but is equally useful for O scale railroads, gamers, or anyone who wants to build a Christmas village.

The advantage of the Petite Properties kits is the amount of building and finishing techniques you learn from the kit's full color booklet. This is a great way to create your first building in this scale, the techniques you learn will be applicable to many other building projects.
