What a difference a door makes. That is one beautiful model.

Thanks Charlie, it's coming along. I am working on the foundation now.
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - faraway - 05-20-2015
I enjoy it to watch you building a wooden structure. It is very different from the styrene kits I do usually.
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - ak-milw - 05-22-2015
I have the foundation finished and starting on the back porch.

Andy
Great idea on the pantry addition! I have always found it more interesting to modify houses if the start as a kit or as a scratchbuilt. I also like to add things like indoor plumbing, TV antennas and other details to show how the houses evolved over time.
Keep up the great work and quick progress!
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - ak-milw - 05-23-2015
Greg, I do that a lot myself but I can't take credit for this one. If you look at the floor plans the pantry is on them, you just don't see it in the picture.
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - ak-milw - 05-25-2015
Working on the front and side porch.

all those small vertical pieces might take awhile.
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - Catt - 05-26-2015
Very nice build Andy.It sure looks to be another Kramerpiece. :mrgreen: Did you mention what windows and doors your using,or am I missing that information ?
Re: Sears Modern House #115 - doctorwayne - 05-26-2015
I'd guess them to be from Tichy, who, along with Grandt Line, have about the best selection of styrene windows and doors available. Many of them are identical, so I suspect there's some connection between the two companies.

Kind of looks like my house ! One may have to rotate the photo.

Re: Sears Modern House #115 - ak-milw - 05-26-2015
Yep, Tichy windows and doors.
Erie, yours is way bigger.
I have all the fancy vertical pieces on, now for some paint.

Andy, that is a beautiful build, I love the porch railings and posts, they really set things off. You have got a candle burning under me. I may have to see if I can do one just half as well as you.
