miniwendy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ok, I was looking at the RGT kits, and am confused about what lines they actually produce. Do they make Walmer? And what is the Lilliput line? Also, what do they mean by calling a kit "Jr." ? Is it a smaller version of some other kit they make, or comes with less?

Audra Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I love the RGT kits. I don't believe the produce Walmer, but they do have the Lilliput. I assumed that the JR. kits were just not as much detail, simple and smaller. I have their magazine and it did not give an explanation for what the jr really met.

Just One More Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 RGT bought Walmer awhile back, also Batrie and probably others. The Jr line is usually less expensive and not as detailed. Liliput was a name walmer used and I guess RGT just kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 My RGT farmhouse jr is a 1/2 scale model of the same house in 1:12. I don't know if this would be the same for all the kits by that name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The Lilliput line by RGT tends to be smaller and cheaper. Ive had two of them and they arent as complicated to build as their other models. The kits are more affordable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniwendy Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, thanks! That does help unravel things a bit. I was looking online and my head was starting to spin trying to figure all the details out! Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 All that stuff should come with explanations of their names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The first DH I made was a RGT house that my dh bought. It was a junior, and some things are different, but they are 1/12 scale. For instance, the windows are really different. There are two sets of frames for each window, and you put the outside with the glass in, then glue the inside set up, with the glue between them. They are actually really easy to make, and no trim to cut-they're already cut for you! The designs are simpler, and the one I did went together very quickly. It's just not real fancy, and I thought the roof and eave gingerbread was out of scale, so I left it off. But the quality is as good as their regular line and great choices for a beginner-less frustration to discourage an inexperienced newbie.
