Hey friends, well it's all done for now here's the photos of this finished version.
It was a bit hard to take pics of the main hall it's something that really needs to be seen in person. It's three stories high with open beams and a minstrels gallery. The second floor has the smaller open frames to support these beams in the roof.I did um and arh about doing this and I hope you'll get an impression of what I've tried to create.
The small room under the stairs is a secret priests hole that was often needed during the reformation in King Henry's time. It's not hinged as I couldn't find a suitable PM hinge to use in my bit's box.
The hallway above is the long gallery where the ladies would exercise in winter with a small sitting room above the main door with a small fireplace and ghost (hard to photograph)
I've tried to fit most of the common features of a Tudor house into this, anything else I'll just have to add next time if I build another one.
Oh I've also got a question about flooring. I've fitted the entire house on the station floors, so when the house is moved the furniture moves with it. What do you think? I like to have bases on my buildings but I know many medieval collectors don't, they'd rather have the open base. What do you think?

Emma, once again another magnificent creation, I love all of the details in the accessories in the rooms, and I love the secret nook under the stairs. I need to dash off to work early, but I can hardly wait to spend more time looking at each photo when I get back. Just looking at them, you can hear the sounds of activity in the household.

Oh god - I love it! I am going to keep coming back to look in every room. I love that kitchen!

I think my favorite part is the dining hall! :wow: :wow: :clap:
But the chapel come in close second! :wow: :wow: :wow:
Magnificent job! Stunning! Supercalafradulisticexpialadochious! :o :o :o

WOW!
Absolutely incredible! :(o): :(o): :(o): :wow: :wow: :wow:
I just love every part of it :love: :love: :love:
The furnishings are top class, and I love your custom structural parts :)9
The Priest's hole is brilliant. We visited a castle once, and the priest had his own miniture staircase behind a wall which led to a basement 'hole' 8-)
btw, I think the station flooring is great ;)
Damo :)

I am a true and devoted fan. I hope I can buy one of your creations one day soon. And get your autograph too :)

Great job once again Emma!!!!!! :love: I'm delighted with this new creation!!!!!

Well, Emma, I'm really lost for words - outstanding on every point, structure, figures, details and furnishings. Only one problem, I haven't found the priest hole yet! (Which probably shows it's well designed!)
-
That is gorgeous! Amazing! Perfection! I absolutely love the furnishings and everything about it. The amount of work your creations must take makes me tired just thinking about it... :love:

:) Thank you friends, it has been a long time in the making from my first smaller design last year to getting around to finally finishing it. I'm really pleased with how the furniture came out as you know there's so little stuff for the medieval Playmobil that it's hard to find things to fill a house with, hence the customised scratch built pieces.
I've spent a fair bit of time working on this and for such a simple building it's been one of my more costlier projects is roughly the size of 10 double story Tudor houses, plus all the station floors as well as those 4way connectors so that without any of the furnishings it's cost me an arm and a leg 8} But I think it's been worth it.
I'd like to do a formal garden with this and at one time I did build a small walled one to go on the back but I've used the bits for other things now! I'm planning on showing it off on a small diorama I'm building. Well I say I'm building the table top is up with a couple of houses on it but I haven't had time to do any landscaping yet. :'(
Well my next offering is ready to share with you all so I'll be adding my watermill photos on my next post.
Oh and Playmofire the priests hole is more of a cupboard under the stairs, behind the lady in yellow.

I've been away from the forum for a while, but I just have to write that this is a magnificent custom, Emma! The design is sublime and detail is superb! Well done! :wow: :wow: :wow:
-
Once again congrats Emma !!! :)
JUst a quick question, i noticed in the red steck roof in the inside you have somehow attached the torsch holder , is that a custom torso holder , did you hav to modify or does it clip in place or did you glue it in place ?? :) :) :)
-
Wow! That's Magnificent! :love: :) :xmascheer: Very beautiful!, my dream house! ;D
Wonder whose ghost must that be :rudy:

One of the (many) reasons I love PM is because it's so educational for kids. But, Emma, what you've achieved there is something on a whole different level. That should be in a display about Tudor houses. Astounding.
-
so , so nice. the design of the house is just perfect. i would also learn more about the roof. especially where the two roof parts come together. did you cut one roof part in half ?
:wave:
-
This is amazing, where do I begin, the stairs, the bed, the details are inspiring. :love:
-
Magnificent custom creation, Emma! Words fail me to express how beautiful this finished project actually is! Thank you for sharing it with us! :wow:

Gordon linked to the thread, and though it's been a while since we first got to see it, I'm still in shock & awe when looking at this fabulous house. 8-) Can't get enough looks at it!! :love:
:clap: :camera: :clap:
The non-Playmobil furniture like closets, the fireplace and the Tudor Bed that fit so very well with the Playmobil scale... where did you get those, and are they toys (Sylvanian perhaps?), modelcraft items of some sort, ... ? Do you know a brand name?
