LIMITED EDITION KITS

LIMITED EDITION KITS

Fine Craft Kits

Builders In Scale has a fine tradition of producing Limited Edition Kits. In fact that's how we got our start, beginning with the release of Kit No. 1 - Weiry & Sons, Well Drilling & Irrigation Co., a limited run of 1200 models released in 1983. Since that time we have released ten limited run kits, with the Pitkin City Hall being our most recent.

Our limited edition kits feature laser-cut wood and lots of our unique metal detail castings, with cast plaster additions, like stone foundations or scale brick walls, etc., We often add photo-etched brass details, one or more of our many roofing/siding materials and other quality components, all supported by our easy to follow step-by-step construction and weathering instructions. All at a reasonable price!

All of our prior limited run kits are SOLD OUT.

Watch for our next exciting Limited Edition Kit-

Note: The Champion Mill, which had been announced as our next limited edition kit, has been canceled.

In 2001, Builders In Scale founder Jim Haggard retired. C. C. Crow, who is well known for his Hydrocal castings and kits, with 20 years experience manufacturing top-quality craftsman kits took over. While the Champion Mill is an interesting model, we decided that we should move on to something else. We might come back to the Champion Mill later, but not right now.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT RELEASE

THE NATIONAL BELLE MINE

We have chosen to do The National Belle Mine, a Colorado hi-country icon as our first new limited edition kit under C. C. Crow. Note we are taking some artistic license. It's not an exact measured duplicate but well inspired by the prototype. Actually, CCC scratchbuilt the model shown above some 20 years ago and we thought it was the perfect canidate for our first kit under his leadership. We are working on the kit now, engineering it for the laser, detailing with our white metail parts and constructing a display diorama that will make a hungry prospector out of anyone.

With many more to come!

MISSING PARTS, INSTRUCTIONS?

REPLACEMENT SERVICE

From time to time we get requests for replacement parts for our Limited Run kits. As the kits are long retired please understand our ablity to do so is limited. We have replacement construction manuals and plan sheets available for most kits (see below). We have some castings, but not all. And we may or more likely not, have stripwood, cut siding and other specific items.
So beware, especially when buying "collectors" kits on-line. They are usually sold "as is", and we can't fix that for you. If we tried, we'd be spending all our time trying to help out a few individuals- where we'd be better spending our time creating new kits for everyone!

If you are missing some parts or lost the instructions for one of our CURRENT kits- we can help. Drop us a line describing what is missing and we will see if we can find a replacement. We ask that you pay a modest fee, plus shipment- unless it is a recent/direct purchase (where you would expect everything to be included), then we'll be happy to do so at no charge.
