Getting started with MDF · The Simple Terrace House

The same Simple Terrace House kit can look quite different once it’s painted. Gary uses it in his MDF guide book to show how brush techniques and different finishes change a building’s character.

One basic kit, three different finishes from the book. The paint and added detail give each house its own appearance.

The book uses the 28mm Terrace House. The kit is also available in 15mm and 20mm.

The Terrace House in Gary’s book

The Terrace House is the first kit covered in A Guide to Making and Painting Laser Cut MDF Model Kits. The examples use straightforward brush techniques, with artist acrylics, model acrylics and household emulsions.

You don’t have to follow every finish exactly. The examples show what you can do with the same building and give you techniques to try on your own kit.
