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.
