This vintage book is a pictorial manual explaining how to design and construct model buildings. A highly accessible and novice-friendly guide, “Pictorial House Modelling” is ideal for the novice, and is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in model building. Contents include: “House Modelling in General”, “Materials, Tools and their Manipulation”, “Preliminary Considerations”, “Simple Type Described Step by Step”, “Foundations and Baseboard”, “Setting Out and Erecting Walls”, “Doors, Windows and Porches”, “Roof Work”, “Interior Work”, “Structural Details”, “Modelling the Garden”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building models. “Pictorial House Modelling” was first published in 1926.
