Bates Motel House 8c
Lots of tweezer work. Early all basswood scratch-built HO Scale "Bates Motel" from 1982.
The posts taper narrower in the middle (layered & squared off but they suggest a round turning). The wagon wheel spindles were hand filed, vertical spindles each installed separately (about .020 tall), the lattice work are individual strips (last bay on the right several of them busted away to scale on purpose).
I had no profile information at the time to know there is a small ledge just under the 3 great windows in the tower & it pushes the porch roof forward slightly.
