Four Square Sears Kit House
The Jenkins moved into the lovely house on Poplar Street a few years ago. Before they moved in the picket fence had gotten a little ratty, the shutters were sagging, and the roof needed a new coat of paint. But Jim and Rhonda rolled up their sleeves and set to work. Jim fixed up a shop in the old garage, Rhonda fertilized the hydrangeas. Now their old kit home is a showplace. They just love living on Poplar Street.

I used a Paw of a Bear, LLC kit to build this four-square style house is typical of those found all over the United States. A modest kit house from the 1926 Honor Bilt Catalog featuring:
- 22 delicate laser cut windows complete with curtains and glazing
- shutters with crescent moon cutouts
- 2 laser cut doors
- lacy railings on the front porch
- a cellar door
- picket-fencing all around the property
- a clothesline with sheets hanging out to dry
- a hand painted Make My Model two tone coupe (dark green & dark grey)
- a detailed chimney
- a small garage
- a weathered concrete driveway
- detailed hydrangeas
- concrete sidewalk in front of the house
- a handmade poplar tree
- a base with complete scenery
The model sits on a laminated base of birch plywood and Gatorfoam (tm) that measures 3" x 5". At its highest point, the tree, the model stands approximately 3" tall. As always, I will include a detailed materials list and a brief how-to should you wish to match the scenery materials that I used to make this diorama. I hope that this hand made, signed and dated, diorama will find a place on your z-scale train layout or as a conversation piece on your shelf, mantle, or desk.
Please note this is a scale model, not a toy. It is not suitable for children. Besides it is much too nice for children in any case.
I will happily ship outside of the United States. Please contact me and we can work out shipping details if you are interested.
