Mansions...?

[Hadoque]

For use as an 18th-century Carribean Island mansion (Governor's house) I've chosen the 5301 over the older 5300, because of the yellow walls with white windows. Those colours ft better with that (sunny) part of the world, imo.
But I did install the brown stairways from the 5300 and also the 5300's red cloth-curtains (a little customzing needed for that).
I think the choice between the 5300 and 5301 depends on what you want to use your mansion for. From a pure collector's viepoint, a mint 5300 has of course a higher value.

The 5302 is totally different and looks too modern for my taste.

too modern?  i don't think it's too modern, the window frames, doors etc... are kinda classic (could be used as victorian) but i don't really like it either

I recently purchased a 5301 along with the pavilion, staircases, and fence to go with it, but I've yet to open them.  I went with the 5301 mainly because it was a lot cheaper and I was able to find it MISB.  I want to use it as a Georgian mansion (perhaps with a few modifications) as well as a Victorian mansion.  I think the 5300 is a bit more period appropriate for a late 19th century house, but the 5301 looks good for that period too.  Ideally, one would have both along with the new 5300, which would fit in with the late 19th century.

The 5305 is a little gem!  So glad you are enjoying it.

5305 looks to be a very nice mansion as well.  I'd love to create a street with every Playmobil mansion they have produced!

it wouldn't be a very long street, 5300, 5305, 5301 & 5302 that is only 4 houses

I had this extension,but as we changed home many times,we needed to dismantle house,so that some pieces of this extension were missed as also some accessories of rooms!And now it's again 2-storey house!
