Very rare kit. I haven't found any pictures at all of one of this houses built. If someone knows or have some pictures please post them here. I asked the seller to send me a picture of the inside of the house, but after she looked on the manual, she didn't find any, which is very unusual. The kit will get here today, I can't wait! I wish I still lived in Los Angeles, I'd drive for that house for sure. Love the garage doors, it's adorable! I really like your kit too Carmen. I've never seen it before but it looks lovely. *runs off to research model homes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it's 1/2" or 1" scale, though and it doesn't say. But if I had the money, I'd be down there in Arcadia to get that one so fast you wouldn't see me for the dust. I emailed the seller. The house is 12" x 23" at the base and 22" high - so it is half scale. Seller has added this info to the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's three houses that all have the same look. This is the RGT/Houseworks front opening Victorian: This is the house that I think is in the ad, although I'm not 100% sure. It's made by an English company. It's a smaller house than the RGT one and the stairs run across the back wall instead of going front to back. The house on the bottom is the one in the ad. This is the Katherine, which was made by House That Jack Built. At one time you could get a basement to fit it. This one is a couple of inches longer than the RGT house. It's hard for me to tell the difference between them all unless I see the measurements or the inside of them. EDIT: looking at them all together now, I'm thinking it is an RGT house after all.

Matt I am running to check your album Matt! now I know who to ask if I have any questions when I get my hands on this kit. I opened it already, the box is pretty old, but the contents are intact and nice inside. Love it! Update: I went to check your album, but must of the pictures are gone. Will go again later. Looking at your house, I like the idea of the balcony on the second floor, and I think I will probably eliminate the dormer on the roof. I have several ideas to bash my kit and make it look like my dream San Fran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a vacation from myself. The house from the ad looks most like the pink one to me. When I first saw it I thought "That's not the RGT Victorian" but couldn't put my finger on why. The dormer is taller/skinnier than the Houseworks dormer (with a vertical rectangular window instead of square) and the Victorian windows aren't Houseworks windows, the proportions look wrong.

In the description it reads "1/12 scale furniture and dolls will not be suitable". This particular house always baffled me for that reason.
