Nice models! What do you make them out of? It looks like foam board or something is the "in progress" pictures...

Also, what about the bay doors? How do you make them?

Thank you. Like to use 3/16”acid free foam board for the shell. Evergreen plastic and strips for the trim and bay doors. Sandpaper for the roof. The bay doors are sheets of evergreen plastic and plastic evergreen strips for the panels. Windows and doors are either plastic strips or model railroad windows.

Outstanding work! WOW! What a great display of a variety of houses. Have you ever given thought to doing a replica of some of the great old houses of the late 1800's and early 1900's? I think you would do them proud!

Those are great. So much history in those small rural structures.
