Seeking gothic horror style mansion in 28mm (Circular) scale. Addams Family/HellHouse/Cthulhu type location. Any suggestions? Much appreciated. |

Here are two card models you could use for a start. Not sure of scale, you may have to adjust, but they are free: Haunted Mansion (Disney World):

Try GW's City of Death, or Imex's SyberClicks or Mage Gothic kits. |

I'm not sure what "circular" means here, I'm afraid. Preying Mantis has the old Aurora 1/72 kits of the Addams Family house and the Bates house from "Psycho". Too small for 28mm, but not as jarringly so as you might expect. Walthers has a lot of O gauge (about 1/48) houses in 19th-century styles. None struck me as particularly gothic, but you might find something that would work if painted in gloomy tones. 1/48 is a bit big for 28mm, but that should help in this case. Pegasus Hobbies (IIRC) has come out with a plastic kit of gothic building components. But this is stone European Gothic/gothic revival rather than wooden American Gothic. It is designed for 28mm. |

Cyaegha, I did just such a house for the guys at Great White Games for their Deadlands demos. It's a one off made from pieces of my Arnica, Montana line of buildings. link |

Or you can buy a bunch of hirst molds (or get the bricks from some of the places that sell them) and build one to your specs. |

link This comes really close to what I want, a Gothic Horror mansion, but is in 1/160 scale. When I said curcular of 28mm I meant 25 to 32mm scale to fit with various lines of Cthulhu miniatures. Thank you everyone who has replied so far. |

There are some nice HO Victorian types, but these haven't made it into O scale. |

If you can wait, around Halloween (Oct 31 in the US) you will see decorative houses very much in the style of what you are looking for, with the added bonus of light and sound. |

Unfortunately I dont see much in the way of that in the UK
All of our Halloween gear is cheap and tacky.
I did see some nice bits online in the states for Halloween a few years back. |

Sorry, that should be "Playing Mantis", not "Preying …". |

This one is cardstock 28mm scale, I bet it would look great on the table.

I cannot believe I forgot about that one
Reviresco Arkham Asylum, its only maybe a year since I first saw it, and I always intended to pick it up (Along with the Deep Ones and asylum inmates)
Thanks again Please continue to post any other idea's anyone may have. |

use the same site and look for something similar in O scale – it'll work great size wise

The Reviresco mansion is just the trick. John's models always build up easily and accurately. Have fun with it. Chick |
