Anyone know of any card / plans for Victorian houses?
« on: 08 June 2010, 03:21:49 AM »
Hi all,

Does anyone know of any plans or cardstock buildings for Victorian building suitable for a London setting.  Ideally to suit 28mm figures.
I notice that a few people on this forum have made or are making some, major kudos to them.  Maybe one of you would like to share the dimensions of their builds?

I am trying to get a few houses done for a Participation game of GASLIGHT that I have been asked to run at a Sci-fi fair in the city...exciting stuff.

Cheers all

I've been using wooden craft boxes(from doller stores) and modeling them to look like the buildings in old photos so I have,nt paid too close attention to scale and historical plans as the size is dictated by the size of the box,which usually has enough room for one room to be modeled. I have come across this site
http://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/characteristics-of-the-georgian-town-house/ for georgian houses which may be of use for plans and for card buildings this may helphttp://www.thevirtualarmchairgeneral.com/230-bhoystowne.html  I hope these are of some use

Check out some of the Dover Publications.  They do several Victorian-themed books that are reasonably priced.  Granted, most of them are related to individual houses but this one, at least, might be helpful.  I haven't seen it myself but it's now on my Amazon Wishlist.

Just Google "Free Paper Models" you will get a list of several dozen sites that have free models available of all types. It may take a little searching to find exactly what you are looking for but I know there are some out there.
