Japanese Billy building kits
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2026 1:23 pm
Just came back from a holiday in Japan, where I stumbled on some very interesting building kits, which are made by a japanese company "Billy Handmade Dollhouse kits", this is their website (activate your browsers translator): https://www.billy-doll.co.jp/view/category/ct2
The manufacturer informs most of their buildings are to scale 1:20 so falls into interest of our hobby. Some of the detailing parts coming with their kits are larger though, probably 1:12.
Few of the kits are based on real prototypes, including 2 different station buildings. The kits themselves are more like "material in a bag" with building instructions in japanese so I suppose they are not the easiast kits to build
Anyway, I purchased one kit and intend to build it up soon, I will update here my findings. Anybody interested in these kits have a look at eBay, Amazon or Rakuten, they seem to sell and ship them overseas.
