Welcome to PawOfABear.com

Here at PawOfABear.com you will find highly-detailed, unique, scratch-built model railroad structures in Z-scale, N-scale, HO-scale, and even an occasionally O-scale. Michael Duggan (that would be me) creates all the work featured on this site. To see what is currently on the my shelves awaiting a good home, check out my For Sale page.
I also do custom structure building. Say you want a scale model of your grandfather's general store, your childhood home, your business, or your home. Supply me with photographs, measurements, even better, plans and elevations, and I will build a model, complete with scenery, in the scale of your choice. The more information you have, the more detailed I can make your model.
Contact me to discuss a budget. Costs vary based on complexity of the building. If you aren't satisfied with the model, simply send it back to me and I will return the purchase price. I can not return shipping costs.
I also offer custom craftsman kit building. You buy the kit, I build it for you. Contact me to discuss rates and budget. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the work.
Because several folks asked for them, I've started producing some of my structures as laser cut wood kits for model railroads in scales from Z-HO. As time allows, I will add new kits to the Paw of a Bear, LLC catalog. Please check back from time to time to see what's new.
Please let me know if I can create custom work for your layout or collection mthduggan@pawofabear.com.
