Mansard Style Roof/ kit

Guys:
I swear somebody put out a kit for an old Victorian home with a mansard style roof.  I think Miller Engineering had one at one time but I am thinking it was a wood kit.  Looked into Branchline and a few others but found nothing.  Does anybody know of this kit that I think I am remembering?

Not exactly the model power one.  The one I am thinking of was far less mansion-like and was wood sided.  Sort of like this...

Models had one like that in HO way back when.  Think I kit-mangled at least two of them...

Did you already know about this Miller one?

I thought micron art had something similar, but if they did, it's not listed anymore.

Pretty sure that's what you are looking for. Good model kits but the parts are very fragile and the laser cut plastic parts can be "melty".

The miller engineering house is the closest to what I am looking for (the photo I attached above).  The kit I swear I thought I saw was a laser cut wood kit.

Which one Daniel?  Your link points to the listing of all the kits.

Do you mean


That is the closest one I found to a Victorian house, but it doesn.t have the correct roof.

Northeastern Scale Models has this 1/144 scale lasercut doll house available - DH-15 Beacon Hill. Think it only comes with 3 sides & the rear wall is not included.

Here's a list of everything that's out there (that I know of), including pictures. Might help.
