Back in the mid-1970s when I built Fine Scale Miniatures kits for folks I would receive two of a kit and for building the one kit, the payment for the construction of the first kit would be that I would get to keep the second kit. After I had a collection of FSM kits amassed and I didn't need more than three or four of a single kit, I began charging the price of the kit for the construction of the kit. This Scale Model Masterpieces Backwoods Ramshackle Engine Shed kit lists for $72.95 plus its construction is the price of this listing. Just below are 360° of the thumbnail images for this 'built-up model. A little further below is the information & details of this long awaited kit which is currently available.
