Hi Alpha,

don't let yourself deceive, all materials have a light weight, the bricks too. Unfortunately I haven't a libra, but for my feeling is the building much lighter as my kingtiger.

Attribute the deception to your skill Hotte....the structure is so very sound....with the addition of meticulous inlay of details.... it is definitely not a flimsy build...and once done... though much time spent.... it will be an example of your time and effort "well spent" :thumbup:

In the meantime I got the idea for new diorama small parts.
It started back with cutting to size the items.

No, not true, first was again a CAD drawing - for scaffold jacks.

For the brick lining of the upper timberings in the basement need my masons these scaffold jacks.
The installation of the scaffold jacks, without words...

So far so good, to take off are the holes still missing and also the pins to stake out. These here...

…with matching chains…

...and staples to fasten the chains.

Virtually so here...

The whole then conserved again with hard oil wax.

Also was conserved the mason trowel and my wooden mortar crate.

Knows anyone what this will be?

Right, it's the level for my little spirit level

Up to the next time, then again house building...
