I've seen the White House model before. Wonder if it comes with a "presidential" figure to place in the window?

The Whitehouse kit doesn't come with figures but the U.S. Capital building does.

 

I have both of these kits and want to build a diorama using them but haven't figured out how I would do that.

Unfortunately, I never saw the Capitol Building kit in hobby shops ........Crying

Thanks for the info, tankerbuilder...Big Smile
I've only seen the Glencoe release. 

Were the figures printed on cardboard? Surprise
As for a cardboard roof..........I recall a number of play sets sold during my childhood that had cardboard roofs.
I can't help wonder if the kit was meant to be a toy; the method of assembly seems designed to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly. Hmm

You can still get the oil rig? Do you know of any distributors you can get it from or do you have to go straight through R/G?
