Scale Model Scenery House Kit.

[popeye]

I got this little kit from Scale Model Scenery KX074.

It is laser cut wood with paper overlay with a choice of red brick or whitewash render.

Tricky in places and I would say a beginner would struggle with this. But they do look good.

I went for 50/50 red & white.

Very nice, love the build @popeye I looked up their website just now and everything is coming up as 'sold out'.  Have you been able to purchase recently, maybe there is a problem with the website https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/

Thanks @DJ Dangerous I'd emailed ScaleModelScenery in the meantime and turns out their website recognizes that I'm in Ireland and they aren't setup to export to the EU so it automatically shows everything as 'sold out'

I tried buying from them before too. At the time I was able to use a family member's address in the north and they wouldn't post there either. (I still have an address contact up there if I need it). 

Maybe they will change policy? I think they could sell a lot here.

They posted to me in N.Ireland.

I think it is down to the amount of red tape currently involved. I think this needs investigating
