debncurt Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hello, I have a Hofco House KW194 from the '80s, which is assembled up to where people generally install wiring and then siding...I've NO experience at this...just put it together & I think it came out great so far! One thing I can't find is what scale it is. I want to begin working on it again, for my little granddaughter to have. Is the scale important to know when choosing a lighting kit and type of siding, etc.? The clapboard siding I bought years ago is 3/8 inch, I think. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Measure the door height and remember that in 1:12 scale 1"=1', so whatever normal RL door heights are in feet, if the door is that high in inches it's probably 1:12; if it's half that height in inches, it's probably 1:24.

fov Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Welcome! Holly's suggestion is a good one. I was going to suggest measuring the ceiling height, if it's anywhere between 8" and 12" then you probably have a 1" scale (1:12) house.

doc Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure it's 1" scale... the floor-to-ceiling measurement (above) will tell you for sure. Can I get a copy of the instructions from you (or a scan of pages 5 and 6)? I do dollhouse help on the dhbulder.com website and a builder is asking.

havanaholly Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi, Doc (I won't ask you what's up); when you get a minute, please pop in over at the Newcomers' Forum and introduce yourself. We absolutely love it when the pros join us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbtinmd Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi, I am pretty sure that HOFCO only built in the 1:12 scale. Their line was very limited. Best wishes! Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
