A bit more progress on this.  Here is the last of the large buildings for the boma:



This started life as a single story adobe building, and then I contructed a second floor that fits on top.  Construction details are on the blog:

Nice work.
I really like the individual corrugated sheets on the roof.

Great ideas and execution. I'll probably be using that kitchen idea for my Congo station :)

Keep it up :)

That excellently captures the feel of the prototype. Even without a certain prototype it has the right feel of German architecture combined with colonial elements (low angle tin roof, etc.). I like it very much!

Lovely! :-* :-* the corrugated iron has come out a treat as well!

The mix of abode and half timber is a nice touch, and an unexpected combination that I haven't seen before. Thanks for teaching a little history.

That oven is fantastic by the way. :-* :-* I like the little doors. 8)

Cheers
Matt.

I finished the last pieces for the boma this morning, so it's finally ready for the table:



If you're interested, I have a couple of additional photos on the blog:

WOW, super looking setup.
You nailed the tin roofs.
Really like the gate area too.

Thanks Everyone!  It was a fun build and now I'm looking forward to a chance to use it on the table.
