Tom and Pete's Sears collection

[EarthMover]

Amazing. I love the vegetation and the vine covered archway. I don't understand why they built them with the long shutters all the way across the front.

Slate shingles are a beautiful choice Pete, nice!

Another skippy...the Puritan, 1922:

_fan, I just export a rather large jpeg from SU, then in PSP copy a new layer above the original...setting it to "soft light" and about 40-55 transparency. Just punching up the color a bit. I sometimes also add (as with this one) a burn layer using an SU profile edge only "hidden line" (no shadows) jpeg export, adjusting the transparency as desired.

I'd seen Sear's Houses mentioned elswhere and had always assumed that you just got the plans. But looking around after seeing these images it would appear that you got a kit.
Is that correct ?, did these houses come ikea style in a big 'box' ?
