Esittelyssä Marvolo Manor - Introducing Marvolo Manor

Uusi nukkekotini (löytyi huutonetistä taannoin 6 eurolla!) pääsi vihdoin pois pahvilaatikosta ja sai paikan olohuoneesta. Samalla varmistui että siitä tulee Voldemortin salainen kartano. Voldyn tornipiilo Riddle's Rook:kin on työn alla, mut tokihan lordilla voi olla kaksikin pytinkiä, varsinkin kun hää on piileskelevää sorttia. Herran kartano sai nimen Marvolo Manor. Riddle's Rook on selkeesti 1:12 skaalaa, Marvolo Manor taas pikemminkin 1:14, jollei peräti  pienempi, en tiedä mikä Lundbyn (klassinen 1:16) huonekorkeus mahtaa olla? Voldyn hieno kärmessänky ei siis mahdu kartanoon vaan saa pitää paikkansa tornipiilossa.

My new dollhouse (that I found online a while back for 6 euros!) was finally freed from the cardboard box it was in and has now found a place in the living room. Having looked at it for a while I decided to make it Voldemort's secret manor house. Voldy's tower hideaway Riddle's Rook is also under construction, but surely a Lord can have two properties, particularly since he's the lurking kind. I named this estate Marvolo Manor. Riddle's Rook is in 1:12 scale, while Marvolo Manor is 1:14 if not smaller - not sure how high the rooms are in the classic 1:16 Lundby houses? Anyway, this means that Voldy's ostentatious snake bed won't fit into the Manor, so it'll keep it's place in the Rook.


Voldy on omaksunut työnjohtajan roolin, jotta saa mieleisensä puitteet.

Voldy has taken the reigns in the contruction to make sure the decor is to his liking.


Huonejärjestys on hiljalleen muotoutumassa. Tuonne koristeelliseen lisäsiipeen tulee ainakin jonkunlainen huvimajan ja kylpylän sekasikiö. Vintille tulee kylppäri ja varmaan jonkulainen palvelijain huone. Kakkoskerrokseen arvatenkin työhuone ja makkari ja alakertaan olohuone/salonki ja keittiö.

I've slowly mapped out the general layout. The ornamental wing will be a sort of folly/bathhouse. The attic will have servantä's quarters and a bathroom, the second floor will house Voldy's bedroom and his study and the ground floor will have the living room/salon and kitchen.
