A precision-engineered 28mm (1/56 scale) medieval Merchant’s House crafted from high-impact Hard Plastic (HIPS) featuring an interlocking modular design and a multi-level playable interior.
he Tabletop Workshop Merchant’s House is an architectural staple for any European-themed battlefield, evoking the timber-framed homes of prosperous traders from the muddy lanes of the Hundred Years’ War to the rural skirmishes of the 1940s. Engineered by Enigma Design Services, these kits bring industrial-grade engineering to the hobby desk, utilizing high-impact Hard Plastic to achieve a level of structural detail and durability that surpasses traditional MDF or resin. The building’s silhouette is historically authentic, featuring sharply molded stonework and wood-grain textures that provide a superior canvas for weathering and detail painting.
Designed with tactical immersion in mind, this Hard Plastic kit is fully modular and features a unique interlocking system. Unlike traditional resin models, this building includes a removable roof and middle floor, allowing players to utilize the fully detailed interior for skirmish games like Frostgrave, Bolt Action, or Dungeons & Dragons. The structural integrity of the HIPS plastic ensures the model remains warp-proof and durable, making it an essential “evergreen” piece for gamers who demand both aesthetic realism and functional playability across multiple historical and fantasy eras.

Tip: While these components are designed to assemble straight from the box, the fit may require some attention to detail. We recommend a “dry fit” of all panels before applying glue, as minor trimming of the sprue gates or edges may be necessary to ensure the corners sit flush. Using a gap-filling plastic cement will help hide any small seams, resulting in a solid, game-ready structure that looks great on any tabletop.
Recommended Finishing Essentials
- Professional Palette: Use Vallejo Model Color (70.872 Chocolate Brown) for the timber beams and AK Interactive (3rd Gen White) for the plaster infill to achieve a high-contrast historical look.
- Speed Painting Path: Prime in gray and apply The Army Painter Speedpaint (Hardened Leather) over the wood areas and (Gravel Grey) for the stone foundation for a tabletop-ready finish in minutes.
- Basing & Scenics: Surround the threshold with Krautcover Scenics (European Earth) and add Gamers Grass (Dry Steppe Tufts) around the base of the stone walls for an integrated, realistic environment.
