The final parts are those of a tiny shed near the west gate. This shed is probably not part of the original structure, but then it's quite unclear anyway, which of the building as it can be seen today is genuine and which has been added in modern time. The West gate house is by the way the...

The next step was the north gate, which today is actually the main gate, because it's opposite of the square between Drum Tower and Bell Tower. That square is today a parking lot for big tourist busses and many small red rickshaws. Tourists do not enter the premise throughout the gate, but...

In my build I didn't follow the instructions (because I was creating them along the build) which is why the east and west gates were next. They consist of tiny gate houses and two pillars that flank a big heavy door. The pillars and in particular their roof are the tiniest parts in this model...

The technology is rather mind-boggling! I guess this is a similar technology like that used for creating 3D-movies. It's incredible. For modeling, I think this kind of thing is not helpful, because I think, if you can create models so easily, then where is the joy in it? Where is the...

The south gate is starting to get more fiddly, consisting of a gate with thick walls attached and two tiny houses, which are again build the same way as the previous ones. It‘s very important with the gate, to make sure, that the two big signs on the gate will face outward. The Ornament elements...

Next are the peripheral buildings, first those next to the pedestal. In the mold they are named after their directions. They have tiny differences, for example, the Northeast house has yellow windows (which are glued closed from inside at the real site). Each house is connected to the...

Time to start on the surrounding buildings. To have a stable ground, it‘s better to glue the vast outer ground plates on a piece of harder cardstock. For lack of a better material, I chose an unfolded Cornflakes box for this, which worked quite well. The pedestal starts again with supporting...

The upper roofs are next. First, another roof frame is created, similar to the first one. The only difference to the lower roof is, that supportive walls are glued under the lower roof-support-structure. Again, the rear side of the sloped roofs is bend down to act as their support. Another...

Building the drum chamber is rather easy, but then the fiddly part starts. 24 columns need to be created, which will in the end be lined each on both sides by a bar, which needs to be cut out 48 times. In the picture they are seen with the eaves, whose ornaments need also some skill for cutting...

Looks like some content from this thread has dissappeared, so I'm reposting: After a decorative wall has been added on top of the first floor, next is the frame structure which will become the lowest roof. The tricky part is here to bend the lower plate up and the roof edges outward just...

It starts with the doors in the central structure, which were actually open in ancient time. But as the model depicts the present-day condition, the doors are glued on the walls in a recessed position. This requires quite good accuracy. The first floor is easy to build. In its center, a...

It took me quite a while to prepare this, but finally I'm ready to publish this thread: The model: This is going to be my first build report. I'm going to build the model of an aspiring young designer, who until now has mostly been known for his plane model designs and is infamous for his...

Introducing my latest release: The Zenith CH801 model was created for the charity organization Medicine On the Move, which operates Light aircraft in Ghana, Africa to provide the people in areas that are hard to access on the ground with medical supplies. In Ghana, they are training young...
