I think it looks much more interesting at an angle

Thanks Paul, That was a challenge at first, but I wasn't happy with the flat picture back there, so i worked on it. I spent most of this afternoon working on tying them together even more and it looks much better. I'll see about a picture tomorrow showing you.  I think I am ready to glue the back panel in place now. I also worked out the final arrangement of the bits to go inside and may get them put in tomorrow too, but will have to see as we have weekend guests coming.

Taking into consideration the time, the patience, the care and attention into making such an almighty mess gives me a new respect for my daughters' efforts in their bedrooms before they moved out ...

Part of the fun, and sometimes he challenge of post apocalyptic modeling/gaming is that first you sort have to make things nice and pretty looking....and then you get to trash it! I took a couple of pictures earlier this morning to show how the inside is pretty much going to look. Maybe you can see the additional 3D stuff I did to the background. I also did some repainting of the picture to make it look more in like with the rest of the model.



Also, to help visualize the scale/size I took a picture of it with an American penny and a British pound coin. Probably should ahve put the front back on, but you'll still get the idea.



More to follow,
