WOWZERS!!!!!
Thanks for all the ideas guys;))))I was thinking that the only way would be to use some bits from my victorian mansion.
Im going to dismantle the 5301 this morning with my little helper and 'get amongst it' as they say:)))
Joe-did you really 'just' do that?!?Cricky thats amazing!!!I find I need at least a week of just staring and looking at my houses before I can even think of moving bits around.
You must really know your playmo stuff!!!
Thanks again for the ideas peeps-its fab to know help and advice is always on hand here ))
Best wishes

Thanks Issyx.  I have played around a lot with the mansions, but have much to learn about the other themes.   
You will need a 2 unit base unit that is open on both sides on the main house in order to connect another base unit.  I used two 30 26 2410 (3 units wide, open frame) that I trimmed top and bottom to support the floors from the main house to the addition.  Hope you have a lot of fun with it.  I know I did.

I used parts from the pavilion to make both.  The second doesn't have an attic floor.

how did you make the roof fit on the walls ? you cutted them?

I meant a plastic container, storaged.  but don't the name of those huge Tupperware 

yes .. even this .... but why ?? you don't want it any more??  even if it's not compared with 5300  it's a nice house

Yes, they had to be trimmed to nestle up to the side of the main house's wall.  I used a dremel to shape them.

I storage big sets because I don't have room to display everything. And as my 5300 is a lot bigger I can only display that one.

Thankyou:))
Ok here goes-lets hope it works!


I joined some of the victorian mansion on.Its only my first attempt so please be aware that there will be doors/windows/entrances that in the wrong places.Once I know I have all the bits and bobs I require than I can go ahead rearranging:))
This is the ground floor.I had to trim the bits down on the brown tiled floor so it butt-up to the grey floor if you know what I mean.

1st floor

Top floor:


My joins are rubbish though and Im trying to think of more ways to neaten the whole thing up!
Hoping these pics gives insight to my madness lol:)))
