Well it looks like I'm the guy that starts BOTW series now a days. That's OK I've got a LOT of them. As promised, my last scary Movie/TV house, the Psycho House. Another classic Aurora kit this time a Mobios re-issue. A much better kit than the Addams. This one is already in it's final location. Here we see the Bates in happier times with Mom on the porch and young Norman on his tire swing by his tree house. Mom's boyfriend working on the car out back. Could this be just before Norman snapped and killed them both? Well not in the pleasant town of Fox Valley it won't.
Next week I'll get back to more classic Plasticville.

I like the detail of the patriotic bunting on the porch railing Gary.

This is a model of an English stables, somehow associated with
the Battle of Waterloo. I forget, but I think this is an Airfix model. The weathering is
awful, and the Testor's cement is coming unstuck in many places.

Question: should I attempt to strip the white paint or just give it a thin wash of
black to highlight the seams?

Love the A&P, can't wait until you fire up that candle, Walt. It's going to be great.
Hopefully you can give us some video.

Gary, and Barry, those are some dynamite works- really busy, busy scenes.

I think I'd experiment. Looks like brick or stone block. Try steel wool or ScotchBrite, see if you can dress down the blocks and leave the mortar.

Yeah, that English stables is a pretty cool little set of buildings and wall Jeff.
