In case anybody is wondering how I colored the wood: AK Interactive Wash for DAK Vehicles is GREAT!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Spiced things up a little building a little platform, some 'walls', adding some diorama-items...

Oh and a floor!

That looks fantastic. Nice work. The detail you have added is really cool aswell.
I have only just finished mocking up my guard tower in CAD.

I built one a couple years ago, you can see it on the left in this photo, but I always felt like it was too big. It would measure 12'x12' in full size, and once you put a figure in there it just seems too big. I like the smaller size of yours, the way you have the ladder running up the middle, and the slanted roof would be much easier to make. I could use the same shingle technique I did on mine, using 500 grit sandpaper to make rows of shingles. It's actually a lot quicker than I thought it would be.

You never did say, where did you get that great metal machine gun?

Loving the scale war ground btw :)
