Montgomery Leatherworks

This started off as a kit from Bar Mills, Hurst Boiler, but it ended up quite differently.

I wanted a leather works and intended to call it S & M Leatherworks but changed my mind.

I wanted the model to look like it had started out as a home business but as time went on there were new additions added to expand the operation.

I really like the Bar Mills shingles included in the kit

This was a fun build and construction was easy because of Bar Mills' great instructions and full size plans.

Conowingo Kit

When I asked John Allen about buildings, he said they should be small, but tall. This $25 kit from Conowingo Models fits the bill nicely. The kit goes together easily, the windows and doors fit the laser cut openings perfectly, and the finished product looks nice. A set of three of these as company houses in a coal mining town would be great. I made a couple of minor additions to the kit and weathered it to my satisfaction. I built this in less than 24 hours by working on it in 15 minute shifts throughout the day.
