It all comes together so well. One of my favorite things are dioramas and this is definitely one of my favorite dioramas.

My mind can also drift of into the village and imagine I was living and working there. It's very relaxing and theraputic ...all homes should have one!

Kurt Johnson Posted January 23, 2021 #680 Posted January 23, 2021 Ekis, I know you are most likely thinking the opposite, but I’m fairly confident in saying that most of us will be sorry when this project is complete ( to your standards ). I for one would follow it until the shopping mall has been completed ( or close to that ). This has been a great journey. Go slow!

Ekis Posted January 30, 2021 Author #684 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) After the base 1 (church + cloister), I went to base 2: center of the village. Before plunging for a long time in the pavement of the alleys, I wanted to integrate a little more the base with the buildings, creating a massive underneath to the tower of the seigneurial dwelling: before aging and vegetalization. And I move on to the mosaic of the streets with the paving stones and the central drain ...
