New Factory Entrance kit from JSModels

Launched at GuildEx a few weeks ago, this laser-cut MDF kit is available in both brick and stone finishes and is designed to be combined with two of the existing ‘Extra-Low Relief Factory Back’ kits to produce a stunning early 20th-century 3-storey factory or office building.

The kit features a double-door entrance with stone steps, beneath a large engraved clock face with separately cut hands, allowing the modeller to set any time they wish – or even fit a suitable mechanism inside for a working clock! Doors can be modelled open or closed.

Each kit is made in the UK from a combination of 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm MDF, and includes clock hands cut from 0.6mm laserboard, as well as glazing material for the windows. 

The Factory Entrance kit measures approximately 227mm wide, with the central section being 368mm high. The overall depth is 83mm, including the steps.

When combined with two of the standard Factory Back kits, as pictured above, the overall width is 1172mm, though the Factory Back kits can be customised to increase or decrease the total width to suit the space available. For height-restricted locations, two-storey versions are available on request.

• JSM70224B Low Relief Factory Entrance (Brick) £60
• JSM70224S Low Relief Factory Entrance (Stone) £55
