"The Norwood" A 1926 Honor Bilt House
Mr. Jones bought the plans through the mail. The piles of wood arrived. The nails. The hardware. The trim. He sorted it all out; color coded every stick; and set to building. It wasn't after he finished up that he asked Harriet Juniper to be his bride. She said "Yes" and he was carrying her across his threshold pretty quick thereafter. Now they've got kids, a car, and a clothesline. Home Sweet Home.

This diorama was built from scratch using basswood, metal, paper, and styrene.
"The Norwood" A 1926 Honor Bilt House includes the following features:
- Three siding types: brick foundation, scribed siding, and hand cut shingles
- hand cut "cedar" shingles on the roof /li>
- Micron Art photo-etched lightning rod
- Vent
- 14 scratch built windows complete with glazing and window treatments
- hand made porch railing and stairs
- 2 scratch built doors
- a hand painted Brick Red Ragtop Coupe from MakeMyModel (loose - put it where you like)
- one of my hand made trees
- a variety of flowering plants
- concrete sidewalk
- gravel road
- clothes line with billowing sheets
- three trash cans
The model sits on an 1/8th inch thick aircraft plywood base that measures roughly 3" x 5". Measured from the bottom of the base, the highest point on the model is just under 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.
This model would be suitable for any era from 1926 to the present day. 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.
