Title: Red framework house!
Post by: Erik on December 20, 2013, 09:51:19

O happy day!!!
Finally got my hands on the rather elusive "Red framework house" today!
I'm planning to make it a "house of ill repute" in my medieval village, lol!!! ;)

nice addition to your collection. I really like all the colored houses that made the rounds so many years ago. Your idea of making it a "house of ill" sounds like my kind of idea and I would love to see how it turns out.

Congrats on your find.  They are very nice structures (all the Steck houses).

However, I cannot congratulate you on your choice of use.  Historically, that would never have been allowed in any Medieval town.  While not saying such activity was not unheard of, the historical fact is that it really was unheard of!  Unlike today, at that time it would have been a thing of rumours that such places ever did or would exist and it would be on par with the "boogieman" for fact of existence.

Well, let's just say my Playmobil villagers are VERY broad-minded, like most Playmobil figures I have in my collection.They do HAVE lots of armour and weapons, but they're also staunch believers in "make love, not war", lol!!! ;) ;D

Btw, there are LOTS of proven records-for instance from the French city of Marseille from the 13th century-regulating said "activities and businesses"... :)
