Quarter Inch: Marketville, USA....
These shops are based on grocery store boxes. Good beginner
projects for those new to 1/4"
This series was inspired by a trip to St. Charles, MO--a town
full of little brick shops with a great deal of character. Our buildings
are designed using boxes from your grocery store--after the contents have been
removed, of course. To add a bit of whimsy, we concentrate only on the
front of the box, leaving the sides and back labels intact. You will need
to purchase the boxes, paints and glue, but all other materials are supplied.
Each kit includes wall paper and color graphics to decorate the inside of your
shop. Once finished, these buildings are just begging to sit on your
bookshelf--all in a row!
Note: We have coded these projects "Beg"
for Beginner, "Int" for Intermediate and "Adv" for Advanced to help you select
projects in your comfort zone.
