Looks very realistic! The wall damage, the doors, the weathering!
Well done! A supeb item for your collection! Cheers!

Wonderful work Jeff from the model maker. Looks a treat! Your attic must now be full of these wonderful creations you have been commissioning?

Best wishes,

Work has begun on the octagonal observation tower, which is an abstract  construct

Nice model! The Hanoi citadel has one of those octagonal towers, I visited earlier this year, it’s right next to the main military museum. It seems the rather curious circular apertures were not a unique feature. Up close they are round windows with radial spokes, like a cartwheel.

They were a special order, based on a Vietnamese window design I supplied to Geoff who is building this for me, they are 15'mm mdf
