Rapid build and great research Philipp,

Still a month to get the paint on.

Well done

Thank you Steve!

Primed it yesterday, hopefully at least a basecoat later this week.

Looking good from here. Cant wait to see the paint.

The base is made from plywood with tiles cut from 2mm cork glued on. All hand painted and with natural earth rubbed into the gaps.

Final result tomorrow?
