PSYCHO-BATES MANSION, WITH UPDATES.

[eddiesolo]

Hi guys, have been away so no posting, but made a start on the Bates Mansion from Psycho prior to going, I have then got back and started some more.

Not great piccies as they are taken in my shed.

Still loads to do regarding weathering parts to fit, windows etc, ther oof and porch are all dry fit at the moment as I am fitting spooky internal lighting.

Wondered where you had got to Si !

Good start.

Are you going to have Norman standing in front of the building ?

You could also have the Psycho music playing.

It is the Polar Lights kit, around £40, so not cheap but you not a bad kit, nicely made.

Not too many, although some are fiddly for my shaky hands lol. There are 75 in the kit and it isn't too bad although numb-nuts here struggled on the walling, the tabs were wrong so had to sort that...my fault cut from the sprue and glued them the wrong way round lol.
