Why this accessory matters

The HO Work Around The House set gives modellers the flexibility to paint and place figures in various positions around their layout. Whether it’s a gardener trimming hedges, a worker fixing a fence, or someone tidying the yard, this set provides the perfect backdrop for creating a more complete and believable model world.
