FAQS AND INFORMATION ON WHY OUR KITS ARE SPECIAL

MATERIALS USED

These items are NOT made from plastic! It is made from Flexstock, a proprietary card stock material on a mild luster finish with detailed Photo Real elements.

THIS KIT IS USED FOR

As a 1/87 scale, it's made specifically for HO scale train tracks and layouts. It will work great with both permanent and temporary setups.

WHY BUY PHOTO REAL SCALE BUILDINGS

There are many reasons people prefer our kits. One main reason is the level of realism that can be achieved without having to paint your diorama. You also don’t need to become an expert modeler to build that perfectly finished kit with our kits. What’s more, these kits won’t break the bank when making a layout. You have better things to spend your money on after all. Another feature people love is the mini opening doors, interior details, illusion rooms. We even include signposts and clump moss for landscaping your model, something other model kits don’t do.

The base can also be easily cut off if needed once the building is assembled. Still, our detailed bases are a cool way to detail your track layout and just one more advantage of owning a Photo Real model kit! So the question remains, why buy plastic or wood kits that can look fake, are more expensive, and require skilled paintwork to even "try" to get them to look halfway realistic! Read on.

INVENTED OUT OF A NEED

These amazing build kits were truly invented out of a need by our CEO who wanted cool looking scale buildings, but he had no painting skill or patience to put together expensive plastic kits that looked fake. Without any painting skills, he was frustrated. He knew that any model kit on the market would take many hours and would still look fake or worse. They could also be ruined once assembled by his lack of modeler skills and by layer after layer of sticky paint. To top it off, he was a picky, unskilled, perfectionist, cheapskate!

Then he had an 'aha moment' and the Photo Real line was born. Now even he could put together scale models that had a wow factor with several features that were never available before. He incorporated 3D illusions, interior details, and a photorealistic look, so you to can say, "wow, I built this myself." Yes, even a skilled veteran modeler will appreciate the level of realism in these models.

We then package it all up with a few goodies and post Euro-style instructions online in full color for easy assembly to save you even more money by not having to print expensive instructions and allows us to give you larger color photos.

HOW IT IS ASSEMBLED

Start with our detailed Euro-style instructions that are posted online in full color for easy assembly. This allows us freedom for larger full-color photos and more detailed trouble-free instructions, and we pass these cost savings on to you. Assembly is easy, simply cut out components with sharp scissors, score fold areas lightly with an Exacto knife, then fold scored seams with a straight desk edge. Then assemble the kit using a mini hot glue gun, which is very inexpensive, for instant joints. You’re on your way to owning the most detailed scale building on the market!
