I scratchbuilt a small two-story hotel using the rooftop skylight as well as the outside stairs (564). Both kits add great detail to the building.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Since I never had worked with wood before (all my structures are plastic/resin), I was a bit hesitant to try this material. The parts, though, separate easily from one another, and, though tiny, are of minimal challenge to assemble, even if you have fat fingers. These pieces add character to a variety of buildings on a layout, especially those modeled from the turn of the twentieth century till the steam-to-transition era. I painted my additions with both acrylic and enamel and both paints work just fine. I look forward to adding still more of these pieces that add such nice definition to a layout.
