Mid-Century Tiki Architecture Kits for Model Train Sets! - Collecting Tiki

Though I don't have a current layout (one is planned), I am eager to snatch up what ever kits he puts out. It has been hard to find mid-century modern homes and buildings. Sure, there are a few kits from the German company Faller, or a few from the Bachmann Plasticville series but they are not enough to have a whole town or a section of a town in the time period to make it stand apart from other layouts. The only other option we've had is to scratch-build or kit-bash buildings. I have been looking for a building to use for a Polynesian establishment, and narrowed it down to the candidate below, but it would need some refining. I would like to thank Mike Cozart for putting the wheels in motion. I look forward to future projects he has in the works for HO Scale modelers.
