Venezia, Italy
Venezia, Italy, is known as the “City of Water.” Canals wind their way through the city, and buildings line the waterfront. The unique architectural style, featuring stone facades adorned with arched windows and balconies, combined with the warm terracotta roofs, is truly striking.
This kit recreates Venice’s distinctive scenery using wood. The different hues of each building are expressed through variations in the wood’s color, highlighting the natural texture of the material.
Every detail, from the arched colonnades to the window decorations, has been meticulously finished. Etched parts are used for the railings, and the gondolas are crafted from white metal.
The cityscape reflected on the water’s surface evokes the serene atmosphere unique to Venice.

European Cityscapes Series
The concept behind this series is “Travel Through Models!” The project was born from our desire for people to “experience the feeling of travel while building models.” By capturing the architectural characteristics unique to each country and region and presenting them as a series, we aim to convey a message of connecting the world as one.
For Woody Joe, Western-style architecture represents a challenge in a new genre. However, staying true to our core philosophy of highlighting the natural texture of wood—a hallmark of our products—we have created a borderless kit that is compact yet authentic. Designed for everyone to enjoy, regardless of skill level, age, gender, or nationality, it transcends these boundaries. Just as you would on a journey through different countries, we hope these models will bring you new discoveries and encounters.
