Here I would like to focus more on the paper city I created to go with the Vauban fort. I have an obsession with half-timbered houses and I would like to share this work that lasted from 2012 to 2014. Many pics taken, I hope you'll enjoy them.

Cardboard and Photoshopped paper, many hours of work overnight to search for suitable photos and design various house plans and many more to give them shape. I hope you'll find the result quite realistic.

The "Rathaus" Inn. Beautiful fonts I found, embedded on the wall with the aid of Photoshop.

...a labyrinth...

...of narrow streets and alleys

The City Square

A paper fountain. Miltiades added a fishing line to imitate springing water.
I was very happy when I finished the design of this fountain!
Paper, yet I put my best efforts to make it look quite like real water...

Half timbered facades. Some from real pictures, some designed by myself.

Only here one may find facades from Germany and France or... Utopia blended in the same rowhouse

The pictures to follow, are taken from the outer perimeter. The city in the walls.

The more interesting part: The damaged wall section and the destroyed ravelin.
