Cemetry Lodge

[levied troop]

Useful for Victorian Cuthulu onwards, every cemetery needs a haunted lodge:







Approx 1/48th scale - looks ok with largish 28mm.  Note that it's a bare kit, you'll have to apply the external texture yourself.  More details here;

Hmm. Not encouraged by the fact I had to dig through their blogs to find out what these were made of, and exactly what degree of "undecorated" we were talking about. If you've got a storefront, then that's where that info should be. Shop catalog pics should show items OOB up front, froofed up second (if at all), not exclusively the latter with no trace of the former.

If it hadn't occurred to me to look at their blog, I would've closed the tab without ever even considering buying because of the super-sketchy and customer-unfriendly impression their omissions create.

This piece will be in their catalogue from the end of March. I think I might try it....they have so many nice pieces.....I have their church furniture set which is great.

Cool. I just built a church otherwise this one would be mine...as it is way nicer than my, rather boxy one.

Oooh Those all go with the look/feel that I want for my village setting. I may have to experiment with one of those houses to see exactly what you get in the kit and how tricky it is to get the final look

Beautiful model! It may encourage me to continue with my cemetery project that has been languishing.

it's not a church, it's more of a caretakers house, quite common in English cemetries that don't have their own church (the big one next to the uni I work at has a lovely lodge, not a million miles away from this one)...

Essentially you get a series of MDF walls/roof/floors/chimmney stacks and mount card window frames (usually two per window to add depth plus the glazing material) - all laser-cut.  They use DAS clay on the walls, carved to get the stone effect and by the look of it they've used it for the tiles as well.  The kits come with basic instructions but you can buy a small booklet for each kit which advises on more detailed finishing - tbh it's not really worth the extra price.

I've built a few of these for wargames use - adding Warbases paper tiles and either brick plasticard or random cut cardboard stone as finishes.  One day I'll pluck up the courage to try the DAS method.

I hadn't spotted the French Chateau

Agree on the difficulty of finding the 'raw' product and the buildings are a bit pricy for what you get
