Prospect Cottage (Z-scale 1:220)
Our popular Prospect Cottage kit is now available in Z-scale (1:220), capturing the charm and history of this iconic home in even finer detail. Famous as the creative retreat of artist, filmmaker, and activist Derek Jarman, Prospect Cottage stands as a symbol of resilience, creativity, and artistic freedom.
Set against the otherworldly backdrop of Dungeness, Kent, the cottage is surrounded by a vast, shingle-covered landscape, often described as Britain’s only desert. This stark yet beautiful environment, with its scattered driftwood, rusting machinery, and hardy coastal plants, inspired Jarman’s work and became an extension of his artistic vision.
This kit includes an artist’s studio attached to the back of the hut, reflecting Jarman’s deeply personal connection to the space where he lived, wrote, and created some of his most powerful work.
Difficulty Level: Moderate
What You’ll Need:
Cutting mat
Scalpel or craft knife
PVA or wood glue
A selection of paints or marker pens to bring the details to life
N-Scale vs. Z-Scale – What’s the Difference?
N-scale (1:148) is larger, making it ideal for beginners as it’s easier to assemble and paint.
Z-scale (1:220) is smaller, requiring more precision but perfect for compact, highly detailed layouts.
If you’re new to model making, N-scale is a great starting point before taking on the finer details of Z-scale.
