HO Scale

An ode to failure! What a better way to show the passage of time than to showcase a block of down on their luck stores? The only thing missing here is CB radio shop. Includes 2′ of distressed sidewalks, all signs and complete, easy to understand...

Named after famed modeler Sam Syzdek, this little factory is chock full of character & detail. You just don’t get this gritty, realistic look in plastic kits. The two building set measures 8″ x 6 1/2″ & includes the funky old tin shed.

Designed to go up against the backdrop of your layout, this is thin in size (about 1/2″) but long in the detail department. Tichy doors and windows, iron security bars, fire escapes, signs, packing & shipping crates, wire to create the funky “razor...

Designed to be used as a background “flat”, this kit has just about everything. Beautifully detailed hydrocal castings, full color graphics & even a laser cut window to simulate a bullet hole in the glass. Check out the rooftop detail and the fire...

There no time like the first time for anything & that includes building your first hydrocal kit! Designed with rank beginners in mind, this kit features simple construction but amazing detail. The instructions for this one were specifically written for...

Based on the same basic castings as Metals Bank, this building features a whole new set of signs & a nifty looking old water tank on the roof. The two buildings look good side by side IMO. 4″ x 6″.

We were really happy with the way this little bank came out. It features richly detailed hydrocal castings, full color signs & complete finishing instructions. The cracked stucco on one side & the patching on the other really add to the character. 4″ x...

What skid row would be complete without a tattoo parlor? Based on our Patterson’s Hardware kit, the detail on this one is really over the top, from the hydrocal castings all the way to the graphics. 3 1/2″ x 5″.

This typical American small town hardware store features beautifully detailed hydrocal castings, full color signs (including the sandwich board sign advertising TV’s for the front of the store), plastic doors and windows, a small stretch of weathered...

This three building set has a little bit of everything going on. A “Gentlemans Club”, a Downtown Diner & a Mortician. Great signs included with this one. Notice how the mortician stresses how “economical” he is three times. 9″ x 9″.

Based on our long-sold-out “Old Brownstones” kit, this new structure has been updated with brand new signage, a laser-cut wood water tower and a new instruction set and complete painting and aging instructions. 11″ x 4 1/2″.

This unique lineside structure is our most ambitious HO structure to date. Includes windows, awnings and signs, as well as complete painting and aging instructions. Named after a hell of of mechanic & slot car racer, my friend, Bob Gugisberg. 5″ x 8″.

Models like this are the reason I manufacture hydrocal kits and in my opinion, the reason you buy them. There is just no other way to get the gritty, organic look of the brick, stone & cracked stucco then to painstakingly hand carve the master patterns...

These rustic brick sidewalks are cast in hydrocal for maximum realism. You get six straight sections and four corners, enough to do about 3′ of sidewalk.

This wonderfully cluttered line side industry would look good along any weed covered siding. It features beautifully detailed hydrocal castings (some of which were done by noted model railroader Tony Burgess), plastic doors and windows, Paper Creek...

Hide this one from the wife! It’s bound to get more chuckles than any cute little depot for sure. Typical of the type of Gentlemen’s Clubs you’d find on the wrong side of town, this little crowd pleaser only takes up 5″ x 3″. Full color signs included.

What skid row would be complete without a Mission? The sign asks, “Where will you be spending eternity, smoking or non-smoking?” A very simple kit w/great instructions. 5″ x 3″
