            Hi Ron
            This has come on a lot and it is looking great. The damage is very realistic. As others have said it will be a great backdrop.
            Jim

                I believe the construction phase is nearing the end, will be starting the base soon. I still need to add the two doors, and I have some thin microscope slides that I can use as broken glass debris from the shattered windows, once the painting is done. Otherwise, I'm itching to move on from here. I hope you all like, and any observations or comments are greatly desired if I have overlooked anything, Please.

                  One detail that I would love to include would be damaged flood light fixtures over each door. Does anybody here have any suggestions for afternarket examples ? Otherwise I may try scratchbuilding some.

                        Ron, I like the dust encrusted brick walls from nearby artillery explosions which many seem to miss and the amount of debris on the steps. :thumb2:

                        Cheers,
                        Richard

                          If they're damaged...scratch build it.

                            Thanks Richard, it was indeed a messy build lol. I did rummage my spares box and found 2 Miniart reflectors that I can damage with a Dremel then scratch the rest, so good there.

                              Excellent damage/rubble but the ironwork steps/railings really set it apart. Well done.

                                That looks really good. I like things with a used look about them, and this building has certainly seen some use. Even if it was artillery practice.
