The Bowling Alley

November 26, 2009

Extremely Limited Run of only 50 kits! Don’t throw a gutter ball and order yours today!

Only 19 kits left

The Bowling Alley is an HO scale premium craftsman style kit based on an Art Deco design. This is a great kit because it is manufactured using materials the average Craftsman has never worked with before. The walls are made up of a thick cardboard that allows them to be laser etched with random brick patterns. You also get an opportunity to work with a putty to simulate stucco.

This kit would fit in with any era from the 1930’s on. It would make for a great conversation piece when your friends see your layout … everyone has had a dad or mom that bowled years ago and it would be a trip down memory lane for you.

The kit includes enough material to create 1 large rooftop billboard and 1 small wall-mounted billboard.
- Laser etched window glazing.
- A really cool and easy to build side Hot Dog Stand. You can add it to the side of your bowling alley or you can place it somewhere else on your layout.
- 3 different front sign designs to choose from.
- Lots of interesting and colourful signs to choose from.

Instructions are designed so that you can follow along step by step with great weathering details for fantastic results.

Don’t worry about building the stairwells … they are all laser cut and make assembly a snap!

Troels Kirk Cannery is an HO scale premium craftsman style kit based on an original design by artist Troels Kirk. This is a versatile kit because it can be built as 2 separate buildings or combined into the diorama that you see in the photos below.

This would make an incredible waterfront scene or with your imagination who knows what you can build up!

Features of this kit include details from the following great manufacturers:

- Mount Albert Scale Lumber
- BEST trains
- Seaport Model Works
- Northeastern Scale Lumber
- Juneco
- Bluejacket Ship Crafters
- Smokey Mountain Miniautures

- Note because of supply problems the last 50 kits will have 3 (original 1 piece vertical storage tank castings) While these are slightly different than the first 50 kits, they are unique and actually easier to work with because there is no assembly required … just prime, paint and weather!)

The kit includes 10 brass etched lobster traps with lobsters, a dozen metal seagulls, 10 lobster buoys, 8 tires, 6 cleats … over 50 great details to create a tremendously authentic waterfront scene.

Instructions are in full colour and are designed so that you can follow along step by step with great weathering details for fantastic results. Templates to build loading docks and wharfs are also easy to follow for perfect results.

Don’t worry about building the stairwells … they are all laser cut and make assembly a breeze (a sea breeze!)
