Gothic Mansion
« on: June 23, 2013, 05:47:55 AM »
Looking for a doll's house for my little girl i just stumbled across this:

I spend most of my time on the Fantasy board so not sure how well known this is.

Just a little big for 28mm, maybe even big for 40mm. The discription states the ceiling height as 7.25". That is doll house size. It is very lovely though.

For gothic horror I think it'll be perfect - it'll make the players fear the house with its imposing size.

Oh yeah, i saw the base was 13.5" wide x 10.25" deep and thought that sounded ok. The height is massive.

Got one a couple months ago for my granddaughter.

It fits dolls about 10 - 15 cm high (4 - 6 inches), but the dollhouse comes as several wood sheets and you have to punch and assemble it.

And its a NIGHTMARE!

There are like 400 pieces and the instructions pretty much doesn't exist.

So I don't recommend it for wargaming.

Hope that helps.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

It looks lovely. I've never used birch plywood how durable is it?
