KX118-OO Jack's Hut - OO/4mm/1:76

KX118-OO Jack's Hut - OO/4mm/1:76 is a versatile, small, brick-built hut for enhancing industrial, dockside & railway scenes on your model railway layouts and diecast dioramas. Based on a small lean-to type hut at the end of Charlestown Harbour in Cornwall, it's a simple design with a million and one uses. With its simple, sloped roof, it works as both a standalone building, or as a lean-to at the side of a larger building, like Tony's Cart Shed or Wright's Lockup.

Supplied with white-painted, heavily weathered brick and plain red brick finishes, Jack's hut will fit into pretty much any scene. Need a small weighbridge hut? This is just the job! Harbour office? You got it! The hut also features white painted red brick interior wall finishes with flaking paint and other dirt & grime.

The roof features heavily weathered cement board/asbestos-style corrugated effect paper roof with lots of moss, lichen and general weathering, and for a more modern touch, there's also a steel security grille supplied to fit over the door to keep the hooligans out.

The kit is supplied with laser-cut parts for ease of assembly with no additional painting or weathering required for a "Realistically Better" finish straight from the pack. The window, door & laserboard parts can be quickly and easily painted & weathered with acrylic paints. We used a matt white acrylic primer for our doors and window frames, which we then dry-brushed with burnt umber, buff & slate grey artists' acrylics to create a weathered wood look.

Additional detail is then added to finish the building with downspouts & bargeboards. All of which are optional so you can choose the level of detail you wish to have on your hut.
