Thanks Sergio, Karol, Don.

The roof of the building is actually a texture modified and adjusted to fit the scale. It would be extremely tedious to make all these roof tiles as a separate parts.

Achieving that "Havana feeling" was my main aim. I've always loved Cuban history and culture; this country is just fascinating...
Not a long time ago, I had watched "The Cuba Libre Story" documentary mini-series, which I really recommend, and it inspired me to build this diorama.

Sometimes it's interesting how many strange things we can learn while working on our models. The license plates on my Lada are not random. First letter, "H", indicates Ciudad de La Habana, yellow color of the plates means that it's a private vehicle. I went to wikipedia to read something about the vehicle registration plate system of Cuba.

Such a small detail but gives a little more authenticity.
