This is my new collection of Victorian figures all currently for sale.

The Grey Mansion

Here's the rest of the pictures of my latest Mansion. As always follow the link to see more photos at the Grey Mansion Page.

A slightly different style than the normal 5300 I've also added a nice conservatory, car and a painted fence to match. If anyone is interested in owning this great house I will have it up for sale shortly.

A Bit Of News

Gothic Mansion

I've just been asked when I'm going to update the Gothic Mansion progress. So far it's sat under my staircase 80% finished. It's furnished but I need to do a few bits of wallpapering and a small job on the roof. I'm also wondering if I should put lights in it or not. I had to stop work on it for a quite a bit, while I finished of more important projects. I will return to it soon I might have pictures by the end of July.

Grey Mansion

I spent today wallpapering and taking pictures of my new grey mansion. Unfortunately I've managed to delete the pictures I took outside so I need another sunny day to take more but here's a picture of the back. The mansion is fully furnished and I've added a separate conservatory, painted car and a fence ( not shown ). I will create it's own page on the Mansions blog soon and a link.

Red House Diary

I bought a couple of red mansions last year and my plan is to decorate them including lighting, real flooring etc. I thought I'd share my progress as a diary page. It's something that will probably take a year or so to do but I thought visitors might find it interesting as I had a lot of good feedback when I did a similar one for Houghton Hall.

Wallpaper Sets

If you've had a chance to look at any of my buildings you'll see they are all decorated with wallpapers and flooring. What you might not realise is I design all the wallpapers myself from freely available images from the web. Creating patterns, adding boarders pictures etc, then shrinking them all down to the correct scale and printing them myself. I've designed custom wallpaper and flooring sets for several people before now and I'm hoping to set up a page with designs on for sale. So if anyone has the original 5300 Victorian Mansion and would like to change the interiors you can do. It will be a limited range to start while I get things set up and I see how much interest I get.

Finished At Last

Hello everyone! If you 've been a regular visitor you might have noticed that I've not been very busy this year on my blog, as you're about to see this is because I have just finished my largest ever project that's taken 5 months to build and a week of packing!. I'd like to say it's something new but instead it's an old favourite Houghton Hall. Not one but three!!!

I'd been asked last Christmas if I could build a couple but that fell through and in the mean time I asked a couple of friends if they wanted one and they said yes, then another person asked and I ended up building three. In some ways it was easier to build three together but I've not had a living room for months now. I've enjoyed doing it but it was such a huge job that I wont try that again. It's just a really complicated build. But here's a picture of my finished buildings.

The Ship Inn

Here's a few photos of this months creation. As always there's more photos on the Pubs page.

A nautical themed Inn The Ship has been fitted with a set of battery powered lights and has a working piano.

Lyons Tearooms

I wanted to do something similar to the highly popular Chocolate shop so I created a Victorian tearoom. Tearooms became very popular in the Victorian era as it was a place that the ladies could visit without needing a chaperon. J. Lyons and Co. were one of the leading chains of Tearooms throughout Britain.

As always there's more pictures on the Tearooms page.

The Red Mansion

A few weeks ago I manged to finish another mansion in the same style as the Cluedo house. Although I did create a page for it I'm only just getting around to mentioning it here on my main blog.

Like the Cluedo house the Red Mansion actually closes up, which I 've always loved being able to shut it up and keep my cats out of it when I'm not using it. I've also included a working piano in this version.

So if you like these pictures I hope you'll visit the Red Mansion page to see more. this mansion is also currently for sale.
