So, if you're ready to find the perfect miniature project for your skill level, let's dive in and explore the fun world of Rolife!

Understanding Rolife's Diverse Product Lines

You know, Rolife has so many different kinds of DIY kits! It's not just one type of miniature house. They have lots of cool series, and each one is a little different. This means you have tons of choices when you're looking for the perfect Rolife project.

DG Series

DG Series is our best-selling one. Material is mainly wood. Many customers say that building a Rolife miniature house feels very soothing, as if they were constructing their own little world. They mostly use wood, and you'll find tons of tiny, amazing details inside. Think about little books on shelves, tiny plants, and even small lights that really work! 

From a chair to a leaf, designers spend months or even years designing the interior landscape of the miniature house. This makes the DS series have a large number of pieces and be very complex, requiring a long assembly time. 

Therefore, they are very suitable for you who enjoy immersive assembly and spending a sunny afternoon. If you love to really focus on a project and enjoy seeing all the little things come together, then a DG Series house is a great pick. 

DS Series

The DS Series miniature houses size ratio is smaller compared to the DG series 1:18. The DS series scale is more like 1:28 or 1:30. Their main materials are wood and paper. Our designers focused their creativity on smaller scenes to further enhance the delicacy and detail of the miniature house.

Because smaller scale products like Sea Holiday Restaurant will not take as long to build as the bigger DG houses. In this case, they are a good choice if you want something detailed but maybe a little quicker to finish.

DW Series (Well-known as Super Creator Series)

What is poison to one may be honey to another. For those who are proficient in DIY, they may also look forward to beautiful and delicate but simple DIY kits when they are beginners. 

Many beginners often give up DIY because:

• The kits they buy are too complex

• The instructions are not clear enough or they skip steps

• The assembly parts are too small and numerous, making it difficult to start

• The pieces' connections are not perfect etc.

This is definitely a situation that none of us wants to see.

So Rolife has launched the Super Creator series. This series is a bit different! The Super Creator DW Series is all about building quickly. These kits are made mostly of plastic (ABS and PVC) and paper. They are designed so you can put them together in about an hour! 

Another cool thing is that all the houses in this series are the same size, so you can stack them up and create a whole little building or street! This series is great for beginners because the pieces are easy to handle, and the plastic is strong so you're less likely to break anything.

Statement of Rolife difficulty levels

You might think that if a Rolife kit has a lot of tiny pieces, it must be super hard. And if it has only a few big pieces, it must be easy, right? Well, not always! The number of parts doesn't tell the whole story about how difficult a DIY house will be. Sometimes a kit with fewer parts can still be tricky because the steps might be complicated, or the pieces might be hard to fit together.

So, if it's not just about the number of parts, how does Rolife decide the difficulty level? It actually depends on how long it takes most people to build the kit. Before we launch a new DIY  miniature house, we will conduct an internal test to calculate how long it takes to finish. This assembly time is the main fact Rolife gives the kit its difficulty star rating.

When you see the stars on a Rolife kit, here's what they usually mean:

• One Star (★): This means it should take about 1 to 1.5 hours to build. These are usually good for beginners.

• Two Stars (★★): This will probably take a little longer, maybe 2 to 4 hours. It might be a bit more challenging.

• Three Stars (★★★): Expect to spend around 4.5 to 6.5 hours building this one. It's getting more difficult.

• Four Stars (★★★★): These can take 6.5 to 10 hours to put together. They are DIY enthusiasts who like a good challenge.

• Five Stars (★★★★★): Get ready to spend 10 hours or more on these! They are the most difficult and are for experienced builders.

How to choose Rolife DIY miniature house for your level

Beginner-Friendly Rolife Kits 

If you're just starting out with Rolife, or if you want a quick and easy project, look for the kits with one star (★). These beginner Rolife kits are designed for easy assembly and usually don't take too long to build (around 1 to 1.5 hours).

The whole DW Super Creator Series is also perfect for beginners because they all have a one-star difficulty rating and take less than an hour to put together. These are even good for kids who are eight years old and up to try!

Safety Tip: Remember, even the beginner kits have small pieces. Make sure little kids don't put them in their mouths. It's always a good idea for an adult to help or watch when kids are building these. It can be a fun family activity!

Stepping Up the Challenge: Intermediate Rolife Kits

Ready for a bit more of a challenge? Then check out the Rolife kits with two stars (★★) or three stars (★★★). These kits will take a bit longer to build and might have some trickier steps.

Building these can be a really immersive experience, where you can just relax and enjoy the process. They also make wonderful gifts for adults who love difficult crafting and have spare time.

FAQs:

Will Rolife continue to produce more complex wooden kits?

Some people ask if Rolife will stop making the wooden DG Series because there are more plastic DW Series kits now. The answer is no! Rolife will keep making the DG Series. The DG Series houses have more pieces, are bigger, and take longer to design. So it takes a while for new products to be launched. 

The DW Series kits have fewer parts and are quicker to make in the factory, so they have new releases more often. Rolife listens to every customer, whether you like the challenging wooden kits or the fast and stackable plastic ones. We will continue to strive to produce products that everyone loves.

What do the stars on the Rolife packaging mean?

The star ratings tell you about how long a kit might take to build. One star (★) means about 1 to 1.5 hours. Keep in mind that this is just an estimated duration, and it might take you more or less time depending on how fast you build.

Are Glue and Batteries Included in Rolife Kits?

When you get your Rolife kit, you might notice that it doesn't include glue or batteries. 

This is because of the rules for international shipping. It's usually not allowed to send batteries, paint, or glue to other countries. But don't worry, you can easily find these things at local stores. For glue, you can use eco glue, wood glue, or super glue. Thanks for understanding!
