Our customers are the best! Chad from Minneapolis recently sent us a very kind note, and with his permission, we're reprinting it here. It's a joy to find others who share our enthusiasm for architecture, model building, and the design process!

"I first came across Model Landmarks in an ad on Instagram. I LOVE cool architecture, so I followed the link to your website.
I would consider myself a skilled scale model builder, but I mainly build cars, and work with plastic. So it was so cool to see these detailed buildings in wood. I had to try one, so I ordered the Farnsworth House and a case for it."

"The kit came in the mail and the packaging was very high class: a black box with a nice sleeve that had a photo of the kit on it. Then inside the parts trees were not only bagged up, but shrink wrapped, so they didn't slide around on each other.
I spread the parts trees out on my desk and dug in.
The instructions were very well written and easy to follow. I only messed up on two things and had to backtrack a bit because I got ahead of myself. If I would have stuck to the instructions I would have made zero errors."
The pieces all fit great! They even included some sand paper and a couple of toothpicks right in the kit! So cool! Sandpaper wasn't required, but I used it to neaten up edges and clean up parts. And the toothpicks are for applying glue.
Overall the Farnsworth House is a very well-engineered kit. The parts fit great, there is a lot of detail, and the instructions made it easy to build. I loved the kit so much I just placed an order for the First Usonian House."
I'm glad I found you, I look forward to buying and building more kits in the future.
Thank you.
