My new mini dwelling - the medieval enchanter's tower. Here it is in the dry build.I'm realising that it takes a lot of thought to do things in the right order - beams, plaster, painting, and so on. Don't want any of those 'oh ****!!!' moments. :)
Hmmm, thatch or tiles? Aged or new? Lighting? Flooring? Decisions, decisions.
Fun!!
The kit is the Toll House from The Doll's House Emporium (here).
I thought it might be one of DHE houses! I also was thinking of this house when started building the office - for a moment I wanted just to use it's windows and door;D Have even more fun!!:D
ReplyDeleteI am also DHI score, and I know the tower: I'm curious to see your masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the Middle Ages would be perfect, but I'm sure your imagination will amaze us once again!
Mini hugs, Flora
Wood shingles are appropriate too, they were very common in ancient times before the forest were depleted. We don't see them used on ancient buildings anymore but actually they were used more often than thatch, stone or tile if there were trees in the area.
ReplyDeleteThis'll be a fun one to follow - I like the shape of the windows.
ReplyDeleteOoh nice, new house to follow. I'm already in love with the windows and doors

Thanks, ladies!!
ReplyDeleteKarin, thanks - I'm torn between thatch and shingles or slates. I haven't seen thatch yet that looks right for what I want, being reed thatch. At the moment I'm experimenting with a native New Zealand plant. It'll take time.

I love that Tower, I have often looked at it. You will make it fabalous. I like the idea of old with wooden shinkles on the roof, a curling staircase, planked floors....
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide, it will be great.

It is a gorgeous shape. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. :~)
ReplyDeleteI really like DHE houses. The is cool...especially the windows and doors. I haven't been able to find such things here in the US. Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to return to enter in your blog.
ReplyDeleteAfter a period of time, away from the minis, again with renewed hopes.
A greeting, Carmen kisses
The perfect house for that style project, whatever you choose it will look great going by the last one! Will be awaiting pics of progress on it with great interest! KAte xxx
ReplyDeleteMy witches house is DHE's Toll House, so you are welcome to look at mine for any ideas.
ReplyDeleteI originally wanted grey stone inside and out, but that was before I knew about paperclay, so I opted for fibre glass cladding for the outside and real stones.
The roof is a nightmare to make (and get to fit!), so take care and use a good wood glue and Duck Tape!
You must have had your kit a while as they stopped making this fabulous kit some time ago, I am sooo looking forward to seeing yours made. :o))

I had to pop it up bigger and get a better look- I love the shape of the rooms. I can't wait to see more :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your new project Glenda. Can't wait to see what you decide on..xxx
ReplyDeleteMichelle - I didn't know that DHE had stopped making this kit - I'd better not mess it up! And yes it had been lying unmade for more than two years. And yes the roof has been giving me second thoughts - I've been thinking that a good thicklayer of thatch might cover any botches :)))
ReplyDeleteI'm off to look at yours - thanks!
Glenda
That building bug is dangerous! Once you've caught it it's impossible to get over it! LOL! Your new Wizards Tower is really charming! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! It's so exciting to plan a new project, isn't it? :]
ReplyDeleteGlenda,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun project!!! I love the windows. I see it made of stone with lots of age on it.
You make me feel like switching to smaller houses. Just 2 rooms and so many possibilities! I will be here every post to check the progress!
ReplyDeleteYa es coincidencia que precisamente yo hace unos meses comprara la misma casa y tambien para hacer la casa de un mago (Gandalf), aunque yo he empezado por los complementos y pronto empezare con la casa. Ya seguire tus avances a ver lo que hacemos cada una con la misma estructura. Saludos. Yolanda.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide to do with the finishing it's going to be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this kit and have looked at it many times.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with it :-)
Las torres tienen un principio muy bueno. Todavia te falta pero paso a paso nos divertiremos viendo los avances.
