Impressive. What materials and techniques do you use for each part, if you don't mind me asking?

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.
