I just picked up an Artply The Rutherford, Model 112, for $20, but I have never built a dollhouse. It's a project for evenings when it's too cold and dark outside to do much else. Any advice for this newbie is great advice! So far the only thing I have found with this older kit is the directions are a mess, but someone else mentioned a site where a gent had pictures, so I downloaded those. I also heard the shingles on this one were not the best, so when it comes to adding those, I'll definitely be asking. Thanks for all your helpful advice that I know will be coming in future!
