Gothic Mansion

I thought I'd just give you all a preview of one of my current projects. Based on a house design by MacGayver I have slightly enlarged his original plans to create a Gothic Horror Mansion.

As a child I enjoyed watching repeats of two American Tv series called The Adams Family and The Munsters. This house design I thought would be ideal to base a copy of these tv houses on complete with spooky family.

Here is a quick picture of the house so far. Most of the building construction is complete.

Bridal Shop

I have a couple of items to share with you all this weekend, as usual I've had a busy time working on several projects at once. It often seams like the only chance I get to update the blog is late in the evening when the house has quietened down and I've had to pack up my saw and drill!

So this weeks first offering is a small Victorian Bridal Shop. Created for Victoria a fellow Playmobil collector, the Bride in the shop is actually based on her original wedding gown. Designed to match the other small shops I've created it is also fitted with a push on light in the ceiling.

Royal Carriage

I'm often asked if I will do requests, yes I do. I often work on commissions for people all you need to do is email me with an idea and I'll let you know if I can do it.

One such request was for a Royal Carriage to be used in a photo story. I've had to work to a deadline on this so everything else has been put aside to get it finished on time.

Based on Queen Victoria's carriage it comes with out riders and a footman as well as the driver. The interior has been lined with burgundy and gold material and has a carpeted floor.

Chester Row

I have good weather here for the last few days which has let me take a few pictures. Chester Row is finished and I've created a new page for it here on the blog.

Chester Row is based on the Tudor shops of Eastgate and Bridge Streets in the English town of Chester. A wonderful city to visit full of ancient history from the Roman walled city to Medieval buildings.

Here is my version of these shops. For more pictures please visit the Chester Row page.
