the Rustic Stone & Frame Factory Kit #3105
Footprint for the #3105 kit Main Bldg: 6-1/2" (incl Lean-to sheds) x 2-3/4" + Out Building 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" (+ stone remnants & boiler area)
This 1978 Thomas A. Yorke Ent kit (Now Scale Model Masterpieces) has received whole new (and some original) updates. We have the Building Drawings 100% complete and the Instruction Booklet significantly updated.
This Brand New release includes the Main Building kit with now two (2) Lean-To's as shown in the drawings; the Out Building including the collapsed Boiler Room fragments and a vertical boiler (images coming very soon); brick footers for one Lean-To and the Loading Dock, and a bunch of boxes, barrels, sacks for details.
The Main Building front & rear walls, warehouse doors and roof material is Precision Cut just as we do for all of our other kits. We've simplified the assembly process including the addition of rafter tails for both structures.
For the record, most everything you see in the images as well as quite a bit of other stuff that you don't see as this update progresses. Folks see images and drawings from other kit manufacturers with details and items that they are expecting with the kit, and the long story short it doesn't and the customer is disappointed. For us it's WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) unless duly noted in the drawings & images.
So to answer the question: "what other stuff" is included with this kit? Well, everything seen in the picture as well as: (3) Boxes—SMM5045; (3) Boxes— SMM5050; (2) Covered Machinery— SMM5179; (2) Stacks o’ Sacks— SMM510; & (2) Stacks o’ Sacks— SMM5085 which are all cast in our Labstone gypsum just like our Scale Model Masterpieces kits.
PLUS! Do you want More? Simply check the box next to Other Options to add to Purchase: Extra detail casting set to add a bunch more details at a significant savings. Above is an image showing all the extras and here's the list: 3 pieces each of: SMM5050, SMM5045, SMM5011, & SMM5041. There are 1 pieces each of: SMM5139, SMM5170, SMM5178, SMM5180, SMM5106, SMM5030, SMM5035, SMM5100, SMM5135, SMM5105, & SMM5085. Yeah, I know; that's a lot of details, right? Options, options, options! What else can we do???
NOTE: All of the casting for this model are made from "original" Thomas A. Yorke molds/masters and cast in Labstone/Dental (Buff) for much more superior detail than casting made of Hydrocal© can produce.
The windows, doors, and some other details are Grandt Line product molded plastic. Doctor Ben's Roofing material is provided as well as the instruction for its application. Each kit has updated instructions are to make construction more applicable to changes of materials and modeling techniques.
This brand new update includes detailed construction drawings (SEE adjacent THUMBNAILS), scale lumber, Precision Cut template & content sheets, barrels and boxes, outhouse/privy (pictured), weathering instructions, color photos, instruction booklet, and much more.
The original 1978 Thomas A. Yorke Ent kit was originally produced in the produced by Thomas A Yorke and although there have been some variations, this craftsman kit includes the best aspects of previous versions..
And yes, Doctor Ben's Weathering would look good on this model which is why Doctor Ben's is included in the kit instructions!
