That is a seriously nice piece.....  although i don't see a price! :?

I had ideas of building a horror board at one time. Something like this would be a great centre piece.

Thanks for the heads up Giles!

Bitdefender is throwing a wobbly too.

I'm sure the company is trustworthy, but the website may not be.  Anyone have an email address to contact them, to tell them virus checkers are warning people away from their site?

See reading between the lines, you don't get a lot of that! NO roof tiles, NO brick for the chimney, NO base and NO wall sections. Thats a bit cheeky! Without them its just another MDF building! :?

Anyone make a passable Anthony Perkins/ Norman Bates figure? Pretty much any female sculpt from Bob Murch should do for Norman in 'Mother' mode.  :)

Andym is correct, PP buildings need to have exterior textures (photo style a la Sally 4th or textured plasticard) added - they are HDF shells intended for doll houses or for people who like to model houses (I wonder what they'd make of the interest of our gaming community?). That said, they're pretty good models with more realistic internal layouts than any of the others out there. The prices aren't unreasonable, once you factored in buying the other stuff you'll need it'll work out pretty similar to 4Grounds (also good ) offerings.
