Beetlejuice "Maitland House " Miniature on Auction (Reference pictures)

[animek]

This community has given me a lot, and I’m not sure I can give much in return.

But lately, I found that (Auction Houses) are a great value to get new references on items we have been searching details for so long.

I’ve noticed that people don’t want/like to register on those sites, probably to not get bothered by emails, but it gives you access to such great new references and better picture resolution. (just put a ruling on those annoying emails afterword)

So lately, I have found a model I have been searching for so so long to get access to back views of the Beetlejuice house. And the model's house in the film was being put on auction.

I was so happy to find out that my measures were not too bad related to the limited views I had access to, 10 to 15 years ago. (I found it on Heritage Auctions)

So now, I know that 7 windows were missing in the back of my models. Easy fix, I’ll be able to update it with the help of those auction photos of the real model.

Hope this could help a few that don't already know about those Props Auction sites.

P.S. I’m not a new member.

Cool. Yup, auction houses are a valuable reference tool.

Wow! Dam! The original model of the Maitland House was sold for $30k and the Dante's inferno for $38K

When you make the new models with the extra windows from the movie's model, will you post updated photos of your kit? Would love to see it!

Do you sell an updated model with the rear windows?

Yes it will, I just need to update the manual first. So far all the windows have been updated, as well as the back wall & bricks, my kit had a veranda that was not supposed to be there in the back, I'll post an update when I'm finished, which should be before the end of Sept.

Awesome! Thank you! I was about to snag your older one on eBay and then came across this thread. I'll be ready when you are! Just in time for Halloween.

Hi there, just checking if you've got an update on this. Itching to build this.

Hi, yes all the modifications are done, but I want to print a version first, and trial fit all the mods, I'll be doing this during the coming weekend. I'll keep you posted. Still have to do regular work during the week.
