Today's progress: all buildings cut out and assembled except the bastion. That should be quick as it will only have one door and no windows.

When that's done the fun starts. The part I enjoy the most is adding the timber work; doors, windows, gates etc. That's when I think the model starts to come alive. More next week!

Looking good, and suitably massive.  Now you're tempting me into making one  :-*

One question, third photo down, will you internally brace a room that big?

No real need to, once the roof is in place it's pretty rigid, remembr it will be glued to the baseboard as well. I've not had any issues on any built so far.

I am impressed by the progress.  It is all coming along very nicely.  It is going to be a terrific piece when it is done.
