Its coming along nicely now, though I've run out of the nut wood I like to use for paneling and floor boarding. The next stages are to finish the windows (which are made of perspex etched in a diamond pattern) and then start on the masonry (which will be made of etched polyfilla). There after I hope to do the turret roof before finishing the internal walls.I had thought of attaching a small green house to the back of the building, but given the leaded glass windows I've decided that the amount of glass in a green house would be a contradiction in style, so I've scapped that idea. I'd really like to do a building with a conservatory though maybe I'll just stick to the generic medieval period for now. I can always build a green house later on if I need one for a Rocketman game... very tempting...

It’s coming along very well master! What colours for the exterior do you have in mind?
The interiors are always plain, either 'white washed' or 'wooden panels'. Because the model is a terain feature for a table top war game, it requires a very simple interior that facilitates the placement of as many figures, in as broad an historical context as possible. For this reason I avoid furniture and decorations which would only get in the way.
looks amazing moif.. I've never really been into all this roleplaying stoff, but that looks just fantastic :.D
I did ask for the exterior (outside), but thanks for explaining the interior! Looking forward to see it when it’s completed!
Ha ha ha, I misread. I still haven't decided on the exterior colours yet, the timber and daub will be black n white, but the masonry and roofing may be either brick, naked stone or white washed. The roof will probably be slate.
Moif, are you gonna make Freja a huge doll house when she's old enough to appreciate it?
I've just read a volume of collected works from Lovecraft and there are some terrific descriptions of houses in New England towns (where all but one of lovecraft's tales are set). Especially nice is the house in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward".
Lesly, probably. It will have to be extra robust I think. =)
GM: in the film they actually used of the real houses as a location. New England seems to be the place for American Gothic Horror. Isn't it also where Sleepy Hollow lies?
