Our Kits – What is included in Miniature Dollhouse Kits

Will my miniature dollhouse kit include instructions or a guide?

Our miniature dollhouse kits all come with an accompanying guide for a recommended approach to construction – these are fully-illustrated step by step. Obviously you can do things how you prefer but as an insight into how the kits build they may help.

Are the models Glazed?

Yes, the 1:48th scale kits are fully glazed and acetate is provided within each kit for the windows so you don’t need to go hunting for this.

Do they include staircases?

Yes, they do include staircases. Depending upon which kit, the staircase or staircases included will either be staircases with individual steps, or they will be faux staircases which incorporates a wall with access to where the staircase would sit and the bannisters for around the top.
All staircases included in the kits usually include all elements and this comprises of:

• Staircase runners
• Staircase steps
• Staircase handrail
• Banisters

Why are there separate windows?

1:144th kits for the most part (with minor exceptions) have the windows cut into the walls. This is done for strength for the most part.

On the 1:48th kits and 1:72nd kits they predominantly have separate windows to be installed during construction. As they are larger models, they are stronger parts and can cope with more handling. The main benefit of these being separate is that they can sit at towards the rear of the walls so they add another depth element to the model for believability, plus it makes them easier to paint an dadd glazing as separate units. Once the windows have individually been completed as units, and the walls to which they will be added are painted, they can be installed. Any gaps internally can be covered with paper or thin craft card.
