Houghton Hall A Palladian Style Mansion

[Emma.J]

  Hi every one it's finally time to share my latest finished project. Although I'm sure most of you will have seen it all by now anyway. Here's a couple of links first to my blog.

If you want to know how I built H.H. this is the page for you. http://emma-j1066.blogspot.com/p/houghton-hall.html

If you'd just like to see a few more of the finished pics visit here http://emma-j1066.blogspot.com/p/houghton-hall_06.html

I've just been sat in my livingroom admiring HH after taking a few photos in the dark. I have to admit I think it's the best thing I've done so far. I'd love to build a couple of extension wings on it, maybe a dowager house, chapel, stable block and a formal garden like those Karim builds for his Mansion. But I have have a large problem, this is the only place I have room for it. It actually hangs off the front it's that big. About 118cm x 60cm x 80cm tall.

It's big but I think I've managed to pack in most things you'd want in a small Mansion, including grand central staircase, servants quarters, lights and a working dumb waiter. Even by popular demand from this forum a library.



I can't keep it there as much as I like it, so if anyone would really like to own Houghton Hall pm me.

































The wall extending out on the left houses the working dumb waiter.

Absolutely AMAZING!   
I love the study with the globe and the room with the doll house.   
This is by far the coolest mansion I've ever seen.
