Review of Medieval Castle Toilets

Tiny Furniture's "Medieval Castle Toilets" is a three-piece resin miniatures set, consisting of a one-piece stone toilet, and a two-piece wooden toilet with a cover. (If you want a fancier chamber pot, look at the Noble's Bedroom.) Tiny Furniture miniatures have an incredible level of detail, and these miniatures are no exception. The wood has wood grain throughout, visible at at tabletop distance. The cover of the wood toilet fits just fine. You can distinguish the individual stones, as well as see the texture. You could also use the wood toilet as a small tub, but that might be a little gross. Although these are based on castle toilets, they can be used in any wooden structure, such as an inn, or stone one. The miniature comes in both an unpainted and painted version. Tiny Furniture also sells an outhouse.

Painting these miniatures are not difficult, and a beginning painter should have no problems painting these miniatures. The cover of the wooden toilet is attached to a sprue, but that's about it. Even a passing familiarity with painting wood, stone, and metal should be fine. You can pretty much paint the miniature with a colored primer, wash, then drybrushing the edges of the miniature. For the wood, I started by brushing on a brown colored primer, washing with brown Army Painter Soft Tone Ink, then lightly drybrushing the edges of the wood with a lighter color of brown. (Most drybrushing assumes painting the entire area of the miniature equally, but I think only doing the edges of the wood makes it easier to distinguish the miniature. IMO, You want to see the miniature, not texture.) Then I painted the metallic band around the miniature and washed it in brown. For the stone, I brushed on a gray colored primer, washed with Secret Weapon Miniatures Stone wash, then, again, lightly drybrushed the edges of the miniature lighter gray. (I highly recommend Secret Weapon Miniatures stone wash as a quick and easy way to paint stone without it looking as if you drybrushed it.) If you have them, you can wash washes the "hole" of the pit toilet with Secret Weapon Miniatures Sewer Water and/or Baby Poop washes (as well as resin water or other gunk), to make it subtly more disgusting.

If you want to add a dose of realism to your castle, inn, or even dungeon, pick up the Medieval Castle Toilets with your next Tiny Furniture order. You won't need to think (or flush) twice.
