FAQs
Quick answers before you build.
What's Inside The Box?
Each kit brings together precision-cut wooden parts, DIY materials and illustrated, step-by-step English instructions. Pre-printed details and LED lighting components are included where they’re part of the design.
We also add practical extras such as tweezers and selected building tools to many of our kits. These extras vary with the design and its assembly method. Due to shipping safety restrictions, glue and batteries are not included. Please prepare your own if needed.
Will Items Ship Together?
Your order may arrive in multiple packages if:
Items ship from different warehouses (US/UK/AU...)
Large orders require separate boxes But don't worry! You'll receive: • Individual tracking numbers • Shipping notifications for each package • Priority consolidation when possible
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Our light-up designs include LED lighting components to bring your miniature scene to life with a warm glow.
Some kits use USB power, while others use batteries; the power source is marked on each product page. USB-powered kits need to stay plugged in. For battery-powered kits, please prepare your own batteries in the type specified for the kit.
Is This Beginner-friendly?
Absolutely! Our kits are designed for crafters at all levels. Each comes with:
Color-coded components for easy identification
Illustrated instructions with magnified detail views New to miniatures? Try our "Beginner Level" starter kit - we're always happy to recommend the perfect entry point!
How Long Does It Take To Build?
Building times range from 3-20 magical hours depending on: • Kit complexity • Your preferred pace (many enjoy spreading over cozy weekends) • Optional detailing like custom painting Most crafters tell us the process is wonderfully relaxing - pour some tea, play soft music, and watch your tiny world come alive!
Do I need any extra tools?
Please have a pair of scissors ready, plus your own craft glue if your kit needs it and batteries if it is battery powered.
We provide tweezers, and selected kits also include other small assembly tools. Glue-free designs may include adhesive stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue. Glue and batteries are not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions.
What Kind Of Glue Should I Use?
Please prepare your own glue if your kit requires it, as glue is not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions. These are useful options:
White PVA craft glue — a good choice for paper and wooden pieces.
Clear-drying craft adhesive — choose one labelled as suitable for the specific materials you’re joining.
Test a small, hidden area first and follow the adhesive’s directions for application and drying. Some glue-free designs use the included stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue.
What If A Part Is Missing Or Damaged?
We carefully inspect every kit before shipping. However, if any part arrives missing or damaged, please submit a request through ourParts Replacement Service page.
We offer one free parts replacement within 90 days for every order.

They include small parts and detailed assembly steps, so they are not intended for young children. For teens and adults, building together can be a rewarding, creative activity to share.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 16 reviews.
This is one of the more intricate models I've had in a long time. I was not expecting there to be so many pieces to assemble, nor the detail that would be involved in making the pieces look like they are supposed to, which is the only reason for the four stars instead of five. This model is not easy, but it doesn't seem to be hard either, just really involved. It is made out of good quality particle board that is pre-printed to look like wood. And the stickers needed to add the details are not flimsy paper material, but seem like more of a high quality sticker that will adhere and stay looking the same for a time. It also comes with a lighting kit that is really cool because not only does it fit in with the over-all look, but it will make it so much easier to observe the many intricate details once it is finally finished. It is not a cheap model, but it is not a toy either. As far as this type of model goes, I feel that it is priced pretty appropriately.
Really magnificent. I'm only at the beginning but it's really very beautiful. However, be careful with the fittings because you'll need to give a little tap with the provided island on all the fitting parts.
A real joy of assembly, excellent quality, everything fits perfectly. I would buy this brand again, very happy with my purchase and the time spent assembling.
Good composition
Although the manual is well-organized, there are parts where it would be better if the order was different.
For example, after attaching the shelf to the wall, you might place flower decorations on the shelf.
We recommend assembling by changing the order appropriately.
There are so many details that it took two days.
