Hey Blockaus

I am going to watch this topic very close!!! I think this looks marvellous! I am curious how the setting will be? Can you give some extra info? I mean ho big is it going to be? The scale? How many soldiers you will use? Which vehicles? etc...

I must say I am jealous. I can't wait to see this finished.
Just looks like a scene from Medal of honor or Call of duty :-)

Cheers Roel

Mr. Blockhaus, Sir, you are my hero!
Your builds are simply awesome. I love the little details you add to your buildings to give them character.

How long did it take to make all those windows?

May I ask a question about an old work or yours? Did you complete the Warehouse you made using cardboard? And what did you use for the texture was it putty or latex paint?

Hello All, thanks for your nice words

Roel this building is a comittment for another well know modeller :-) I´m not sure what I want make but my idea is a commando action with a party of men taking control of the tower with a train pass under the bridge some a bit "Holywood stile" the scale is 1/35 and is tall around 30 cm.

Bill these windows was a nigtmare and was very time consuming, but I think that results worth the time . texture of the warehouse was diluted putty.
cheers
