Beautiful work, mate! Excellent architectural copy...
Is this going to be the centerpiece for the dio? What are your plans for the rest of the scene?

Hello ,
thanks for your comments,
Material in this case is polysterene, the same plastic that all models ( except resin kit) are made. This model is a master., but we are planing make a typical scene of the first days of barbarossa with a buch of germans afther the combat making photos of monuments of the city that just have conquest, I´m not sure what vehicle will include but probably a KVII near the tower

what a great model! you should be really proud of that !!

I cannot tell whether the tower "flares" out at the bottom but it does look like the wall with the door on leans inwards slightly - is that deliberate ??

I have some buildings to make for my next diorama...I would love to see some step-by-step stuff on how you do all those amazing details. Your modelling is crossing over into Art with that piece mate !

Hello Jon, thanks for your words

about "warp "this is not deliberate, the walls not are glued, all walls are subjected with adhesive tape for the photos.
the secret remains noy in the process that is very easy , but in find a good building that can be converted in a good model. really this building is no more that a lot of rectangles and strips of plastic glued togheter. :-)
best whises

thanks for clearing that up Carlos. For something held together loosely with tape - it's fairly safe to say you're on the right track to build somthing that will be even better once it's glued together and painted!!

your technique, though you call it easy, is still very effective and you've obviously mastered it mate.

I look forward to seeing this finished....so back to work you
:-) :-) :-)

best of luck with it mate, dont forget to keep us posted!
