Superb, that wood panelling is spot-on! The doors and floors are fantastic!   :-*

Thanks all. I hope to make some progress on the furniture soon. LPL is taking up the time :)

I tell you, though. If I had that lovely house setup, you can be sure I wouldn't be using it to play bloody Clue(do) on! :)

Haha yes, it probably won't see much actual Clue time :)

I see that the first item of furniture to go in is the billiards table - nice to see you've got your priorities straight!

:)

Where did you find those great wood and tile floor patterns?

Some are from online (searched for dollhouse floors), several are Photoshopped starting from a picture of a flooring sample from a DIY site or a picture of parquetry. The side paneling is just a print out I made in Photoshop. The door frames are also a print out, but are mounted on card so they raise out a bit. Basically it's a blend of dimension and the illusion of dimension. I can put the source files online somewhere if there's interest.

a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

All the figures including the dog are from the Cluedo:Super Sleuth game.  In another thread Orctrader pointed out that they ended up getting released by Moonraker:

Amazing stuff. Really like it. :-*  I am highly interested in the source files. Would love to build a building like that for me.

Outstanding set-up!  :-* Those figures are beautifully painted.

I missed this 1st time around, this is amazing.

Your painting of the figures is lovely, this is a set you don't see very often and deserves a wider audience and you have done them more than justice.
