I built the entire landscape and started on the buildings, before getting Isaac&#8217;s help to finish the model in time. The base split into three portions, and all the buildings were easily removable to allow for convenient transport of the build. It had been a while since I&#8217;d done a proper Middle Eastern scene, so it was a really fun build and I think turned out as one of my best Castle models yet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
