I had some requests to do a set of sketches for a farmhouse. I went out in the local countryside and took pics of 4 different houses. I combined what I felt were the best features of the 4, plus other kits, and came up with my own design. Farmhouses, by nature, are normally large, but in the interest of saving space I made this house a bit smaller, for a 2 5/16 x 1 9/16 footprint. You can make it larger by adding a shed or other out buildings. If you don’t like the pictured colors you can paint as desired.
I cut out the parts on this one, raffled it off, and sent it in an envelope to Phil(goodstuff3). He did a great job of building it.
I recommend using styrene as wood thicknesses can be too big and look out of scale. Window openings are sized for Rslaserkits sheet #3980, but you can also adjust openings for your own windows. Paint parts before assembly, except where the edges glue to other parts.
The building directions are in the sketches, and to make your build easier you can enlarge them to full size and print them out. Read directions in dimensioned parts sketches and assembly sketches before cutting out parts as you may want to change some sizes or cut fewer, or additional, openings.
Included sketches are: Overview sketches, Parts templates, Assembly sketches and PDF’s.
To print the part templates actual size, use the PDF's. Select best printer quality, set PDF zoom to 100%, and page scaling to "none" or actual size. Check your printed page to see that 3" lines are exactly 3" long. Once you have template printed, you can cut with scissors (leave a 1/8" border) and arrange on your material for maximum sheet usage. Part templates for siding are a mirror image, when needed, so that you can cut walls with siding side down (easier to cut). Be sure siding grooves are oriented correctly. Use rubber cement or Krylon Easy Tack Repositionable Adhesive to glue paper templates to your material and then just cut on lines. No measuring ! Paper comes off easily.
Follow assembly sketch directions.
Roofing material is your choice. You can print your own from my other threads, or Rich at Rslaserkits has some good choices.
