The North American Bent Chair Company “for sale”

Hi Folks:

I have been doing some soul searching lately. The Craftsman Kit manufacturing industry has become incredibly competitive and trying to find a niche in the market is a challenge for any manufacturer. I realized that with a bit of reflection I could see a direction I was headed over my last few kits. It is a direction I am very excited about. Like you, I have family commitments and job duties and over the last few years they have become more demanding. Therefore as I stated before I am “retiring” the majority of my kits so that I can concentrate on 1 limited kit at a time. Once my stock is depleted over the course of time I will not be producing the following kits:

The Barrel Factory
The Freight House
Ellsworth Farms & Feeds
Bootleg Mabels Brewery
Phinny’s Garage
Farmer’s Market
Wooden Hotel

The above HO kits can still be ordered direct from me for only $50 (no shipping) as I try to retire them from the Full Steam Ahead line-up.

To attempt to make myself stand out from the crowd I have been creating kits that are not only unique but are designed with cool building features and unique materials. The North American Bent Chair Company is a reflection of my philosophy on kit design and I hope you will appreciate the work that I have put into it and the great modeling materials that are part of this kit. Don’t worry if this kit doesn’t suit your layout I have a feeling my next kit will blow you away and you will have to find a spot for it on your layout!

It appears that after a long hot summer the cool autumn winds are blowing in all of the new craftsman kits of the season. I hope you will take a minute to consider my latest kit … The North American Bent Chair Company. This is a kit that promises to teach you a few new tricks and techniques because of the unique materials that make up the factory. The brick factory walls are etched bricks on a heavy cardboard/photograph framing material that is already a beautiful brick colour specially ordered for this kit. The loading docks represent concrete slabs that are done in high quality and detailed resin. You’ll get a chance to work with laser board “plastic imprenated paper” and create your own bent chairs. I am also very proud of the unique design and construction of the new skylights … they are cool and I can’t wait for the modelling community to try them out!

The North American Bent Chair Company is an HO – Scale background kit. The walls are laser etched brick. Also included are laser cut adjustable windows, doors, skylights, hinges, window sills, a brick sign and cornerstone trim. Loading docks & stairs are highly detailed resin castings. Metal roof vents, trash cans, barrels and pallets are also included. There are 8 bent chairs that top this kit off! The footprint of the kit is 14 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. This kit is limited to only 100 kits and can be purchased for only $99 plus $10 shipping in North America. Figures and Vehicles are not included.

You can also separately purchase bent chairs (8 per pack), skylights (6 per pack) and wall sections to extend your factory or create your own master piece. The wall sections are 7 inches in length and come with all of the great laser cut adjustable windows and window glazing.

The North American Bent Chair Company

At one time the original North American Bent Chair Company was located in the busy port of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. The Chair Company boasted that at one time it was the largest chair manufacturer in the entire British Dominion. I compressed the kit down to 14 inches from a scale 4 feet! You have the option to add as many 3 panel sections if you want a longer background kit. (Contact me if you would like to purchase extra panels for your background kit). Each 3 panel section measures 7 inches in length and comes with all the windows, back and roof panels.

NOTE: I have made several changes based on modeler’s requests and to stream line your purchases. I orginally only offered this kit as a background kit but found 2 interesting trends emerge:
1. About half of the modelers who have purchasd the kit have wanted to create a full kit that was not a background kit but a kit that was fully etched and detailed on all 4 sides.
2. Modelers that wanted the kit as a background kit have been confused by the button to add more panels and therefore I removed that button. If you would like to stretch out your background kit please contact me for and we can discuss how many extra panels you would like and what the small additional cost would be.

Be sure to read the descriptions below and choose your ordering options carefully. You have 2 choices; Background Kit $60 or Full Kit $99
For the very few modelers who purchased the background kit at $99 please contact me and I will credit your the difference.
