This is a great kit to get started building laser-cut kits. It consists of just nine parts and can be assembled very quickly. An experienced modeler might assemble this kit in just five minutes, whereas a novice can easily finish the kit in just half an hour. Special alignment slots are laser-etched where parts connect. Simply glue one part into the correct slot on the other part, resulting in perfect alignment every time.
This style of picnic table has been around for years, and can be found in many places: in back yards, on decks, next to warehouses (used by employees on their break), in playgrounds, in town parks, and in parks in the woods. Parks and playgrounds typically have a number of picnic tables, and also park benches.
In case you're interested in how we designed this kit, we wrote an article called The Making of a Laser-Cut Kit.
Ideas for placement
There are many places where you could put picnic tables on your layout, which is why we've created kits with more than one table per kit. Here are some of the potential locations:
- In the backyard of any house
- In a city or town park
- In front of a fast-food restaurant, a produce stand, or a store
- In a park somewhere in the country, such as among the trees in the mountain
- Next to the back door of a business for a break/smoking area
Key benefits
- Easy to build with just nine parts.
- See-through boards for table and bench tops.
- Alignment slots etched into the bottom of the table and bench tops for easy assembly each time.
- Top of table and benches have cuts all the way through to represent individual boards, but are tied together as a single part each for easy assembly.
