Hello
Here comes the first report from the construction of the dio Monte Cassino (before and after).

The idea is to do two dio that is identical to the basis. The first before the bombardment, and the other after the bombing when the German troops move into the monastery and dug itself down.

This will become the second dio, the monastery in ruins.

The pictures are not they best, the camera not liked all plaster believes I.
I will continuously publish pictures on the construction.






To the Left, you see the originals to those pillars and vault arcs that are needed. Will do a mould and to found them with plaster. I Needs 21 vaults and pillars to them.

Begun paint the basis









Comments welcome

I can convert the priests to monks, but I must wait to after Christmas and when I have enough money to buy them.
