"Haunted House Model" Topic

Yesterday I received a newsletter from Petite Properties the dolls house people. They are just about to release a Haunted House…its 1/48 scale so perfect for 28mm

Thought those interested in this genre might be interested

these dolls house companies have a raft of stuff available for the discerning wargamer – a short list of potential suppliers is up on my blog posted a year ago

cheers

its 1/48 scale so perfect for 28mm

Isn't 1/48 a bit big for 28mm?

I have bought several of their 1/48 scale English Village Buildings and they are perfect in scale…

This is Petite Properties School House

The Post Office and Local Store

The Church

and the Railway Station (some modifications)

That is psycho.

…mother?

thanks flashman

MajorB: No, they're not. Which is to say, they ARE massively overscale, but a better scale one, built like a dollhouse, would be more difficult to play with, especially if you had to move the figures inside the building.

Do they come finished or do you do that?

They do not come finished…I have rendered & painted up all mine

They accommodate minis perfectly well

Eric…..I keep getting a "404 Not Found" message for Petite Properties no matter how I go about it. I get a "cached copy" which brings up their index but clicking on anything listed gets the "404" error message. Any help would be much appreciated because those are lovely buildings…..John

Here's a link for Petite Properties:

petite-properties.com

Thanks for the link.

And for anyone else as slow with the interwebs as myself….

The name of the terrain is "Ravens Perch"…don't try to search for Haunted House like myself

I keep getting a "Forbidden" message when I try to access their online shop.

This was brought to my attention on the LAF – I have sent an email to the guy who runs Petite Properties

Hopefully he will answer

Mother!… No!…..Blood!

this link seems to work. Got it from the posted literature.

I stumbled on these 1:48 dollhouse mansions this summer from Laser Dollhouse Designs. I ordered this one last week: auction

Here is the store site: link

Lost Pict – that's expensive…post pics please when finished

I think this picture makes my point. Look at the door and the figure near it. The door is quite a bit taller than the figure. If anything a door should be no more than the height of the figure. Or even less. Doors in old buildings are often surprisingly low.

There is a thickness to the walkway…the door has a bit of a threshold….big yes

way too big to game with..not to my eye

The Figure it self is leaning as he is running….

I shall take a proper picture tomorrow ;-)

They look okay to me and thanks for posting the pics. For others if they look way too big for you then just don't buy them.

Polar Lights reissued Bates Motel model kit in 1/87 some years ago.

Eric, I would probably have ordered the one you found if I had known about it sooner – a lot cheaper. Here's the picture from E-bay.

I also have built a number of the 1/4 scale Greenleaf Village dollhouses – I wonder how they scale with these you are using?

I will snap some pictures of them for reference with 28mm minis.

I am using mine for Lovecraftian Horror

They look great…
