Your first Archistories building kit has arrived: each comes in a small box or heavy cardboard envelope with an instruction booklet and multiple laser cut sheets of various colors. Some kits even come with electric motors. This kit is the Sanders water tower which can be used for both American and European prototypes, it features timber construction and open fret framework.

A special note about these kits: I have never found a typo or mistake in any of the construction booklets and the step-by-step instructions if followed in order will provide the very best results.

Assembly time varies from kit to kit: rough estimate 3-8 hours depending on building. But when the building is assembled it is done because the beautiful coloration has already been dyed into the laser cut sheets. I plan to experiment with adding weathering to these buildings stay tuned for those results.

An assembled Archistories building is like a Marklin train, you will end up holding it in your hand turning it around and admiring it for its beauty and detail, and your significant other will have a new found appreciation for your skills.
