    Wonderful! Seen your achievements, I feel the need to give a try to foam modelling; the results, yours at least, are in the ego-rewarding category. :thumb2:

    Unfortunately, I still have to find the Italian equivalent of 4D modelshop. :disappointed2:

            The base & building look great John, the closed in streets would be difficult for armoured vehicles.

              Spent a lot of time today using the hot wire cutter, after much time spent slicing thin scrap sections I've must have made enough roof tiles to last me out !

              Did manage to cut out the building , didn't get time to scribe , so the photo shows how it will look.
              Also added a nother couple of roof joists to the tower .

                      Hi John.

                      Just had a catch-up. Sorry you had to start again with the ground work but that knew one is coming on very nicely.

                      Also LOVE the corrugated sheet idea! Very interesting!!!

                        So I was thinking exactly that. There must be a way......

                        What about if you glued cocktail sticks or something round and thinner onto two wooden blocks the width apart of whatever you're using. Then push down......if you don't push too hard you shouldn't get a flat spot on the top where you hit the block.

                          I made a very similar tool for the only corrugated roof I've done. Simple, but it did the job with a bit of persuasion. I'll send you a picture of it once I'm out in the shed.
