Thanks.

Materials:
- platic foam board 2mm called Forex - for the base shape of tower. I use this and 3mm for all my building models and movement trays.
- balsa - 1, 2 and 3 mm for all wooden parts (for palisade I used bamboo).
- stone and roof are plastic sheets from Green stuff world.
- relief paste for rendered walls - I applied it on 1mm plastic sheet and then glued between wooden columns.
- terrain - modeling plaster with 5mm cork sheet under it. With cork I created relief.

I hope this help.

I used 1 and 3mm balsa wood sheets - cut it on 3mm wide stripes and glue them. I will upload few pics of my WIP tomorrow if you want?

I just cut bamboo sushi roller.  ;)
Found one which was ideal for my palisade.

Once again, thank you all.  :)

That’s genius!

This could easily be a museum piece.

(In fact, it’s better than most I’ve seen in museums.)
