Fine Craft Kits and More!
We released our first HO scale limited run kit, Weiry &
Sons, in 1983, and nine more since. And we plan to release many more of these
exciting kits featuring plaster cast brick and stonework, laser-cut wood,
etched brass parts, and of course plenty of our famous white metal details.
We also offer a full line of Evening Express Series kits which,
while smaller in scope than our limited run kits, feature many of the same great
components. All at reasonable prices.
We are also developing new kits and products. You will find many
addtions to our existing parts and well as completely new branches. A big one is
our LaserWood product line which includes stair stringers of all slopes and sizes,
stair treads, generic wood planking for loading docks, platforms and walkways as
well as siding, roofing, fencing. We are currently working on several new kits
using these materials that will amaze you. See details below.
More Than Just Kits -
For the scratch builder we offer a whole range of detailing
parts, building materials, construction stocks, scale figures, and general
supplies, serving N, HO, S and O scales, with even a couple of pieces for G.
Among our stocks of roofing and siding materials are tar paper,
slate shingles and shakes, TrueWood laser-cut strip shingles, and our Victorian
shingles, with real metal Ribbed Seam and Corrgation Strips, both in various
widths and scale.
Our scratch building parts including miniature brass chain, now
in three standard sizes plus one ornate, our incredible laser-cut Lace Curtains,
Venitian Blinds, stair stringers in three slopes, and for scenery we have Snow!,
perfect for modeling the high-country, and Kelp/Seaweed, just right for modeling
shorelines, and much much more.
Our HO scale detailing kits and sets include Chain Link Fence,
Snow Fence and other small models, ectched brass details, and an assortment of
white metal details grouped in useful sets.
For O scale we have 40 white metal detail parts to choose from
plus two dozen scale figures and animals.
For all modelers we offer our famous
SwitchMaster
slow-motion and virtually silent stall-type switch machines and accessories.
You'll find all of these and more within our web site.
BUILDERS IN SCALE has moved to Mukilteo, Washington!
On September 1st, 2002, Jim Haggard retired from leading Builders
In Scale to pursue other activities. Long time friend and model kit manufacturer,
C. C. Crow, has stepped in and moved the business to Washington state, just north
of Seattle, where he continues Builders In Scale's tradition of producing
high-quality polished craft kits and accessories.
COLORADO MINING KITS

ORE BIN and TRESTLE
We've added several new kits to the Evening Express line featuring
Colorado mining. The Ore Bin and The Mine Headframe as seen at the top of this page.
These go along with our existing Mine Hoist and Ore Skip kit and Double Boiler kit.
We've also added a light-duty Ore Trestle.

!NEW LASERWOOD KITS ARE COMING!

NEW LASERWOOD KITS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
We have several new LaserWood kits under development. These kits
feature incredible detail seldom found in laser kits. Not only have we cut the
outlines of the walls but we've laser-scribed the planks and added nailhead detail,
the likes you'd only find on award-winning contest models, you know the kind, where
the guy spent all winter using a needle to emboss the tiny nail holes just so.
Well, we thought we should have that kind of detail on our kits. Add a few of our
white metal details- and these are way over the top.
These kits include a couple of lineside wooden warehouses, an
office for them, one and two-stall wooden enginehouses, a car shop, a small wooden
church, and The J & J Pyrite Mine.
Look for them beginning in September. We will post more detailed
information as they are released.

AND MORE ARE COMING!

THE NATIONAL BELLE MINE
The National Belle Mine as our
next Limited Edition kit in HO scale.
We wish it wasn't taking so long- This complex
of structuers will be a prominent feature on your pike.
The upper mine (original concept model shown above) consists of a headframe, boiler
house, compressor house and hoist house which can be placed together, moved around
or even be split apart and spread out in different locations on your layout. We're
not through though, there's the lower section, featuring covered ore bins and an
exposed enterance so you can show off a string of ore cars glimmering with ore said
to be worth $14,000* per ton!

EDITION KITS for more information.
* Value of ore may be slightly exagerated.
