Realistic weatherboard
Are you after a realistic weatherboard for your models that’s not plastic? McMillan Models are excited to introduce a new product- basswood weatherboard.
Weatherboard Wall sections are laser cut from 3mm basswood. The basswood has been cut to provide a realistic weatherboard (overlap) finish.
Checkout the ScratchMaster section for more information. Weatherboard Wall Sections will be available to purchase from 19th November.
A quality product
McMillan Models laser engraved old brick is textured, which provides a realistic old brick finish.

See the difference?!
What makes McMillan Models different from MDF laser kits?
The system of building gives a true scratch build experience, unlike MDF slot together kits.
I use clean, sustainable basswood which is safe to cut and sand.
The basswood is either scribed to resemble weatherboard, or engraved in an old brick or stone pattern.
The engraving technique gives a much more realistic product -excellent for close up photos or exhibition quality layouts.
The kits are limited edition and so you will have unique models not replicated on everyone’s layout!

All kits include full instructions. The @keanescove You Tube channel features videos on how to build these type of structures.
