Is that the Paper Realms Caverns? Crooked Staff is also wonderful

Thanks for the tip!

In a meantime, I found that my knowledge about the Arab architecture is less than basic.
Collecting the models and creating my own after the photograph images, I learned much.
For example, I never heard of wind towers, an ancient ventilation system, before...

And this is Dave Graffam's Watch Tower, slightly modified and glued to the landscape.
The ploughed fields were made of a corrugated cardboard sheet painted brown and covered with a sawdust. The original columns were replaced with matchsticks with the knee braces added. The hedge was made of 1,5 cm wide pom poms.

Further Arab buildings: a house with the shuksheika wind catcher on the roof (smaller equivalent of a wind tower); an old tomb of the saint; a round hut with a cone thatched roof containing sugar cane mill/press.

The biggest desert cityscape for my players is completed. I called it Shibaraz. Whole paper except few posts and z ladder made of sliced match sticks. Only the papyrus shots were made of ready modellers' self-sticking grass.

I used the CANON kit of simplified tall buildings made of adobe bricks and clay (after the real 16th century tall buildings - up to 11 storey - from Shibam, Yemen), "Casa Araba" model by some Italian designer, and the previously shared little houses and a wind tower made from scratch after the photo plus a sugar cane processing round hut (N57 by Sakamoto Sanda).

The ruined church, slightly improved and roofed over the saved room and the choir balcony.

The first buildings in the capital of Solanka (Salina) princedom.
Models adopted from Warhammer Fantasy free handbook.

Solanka town square is nearly completed. Here are the Town Hall and the Tavern with a Stable, a Privy and a Doghouse.

Far, far to the south on my map there lies a town of Belethir on the Big People and Elves Kingdom border. This is the house of the mixed couple (the parents of one of the players, an half-elf female druid), built on the right bank of the river, so on the Big People's side, but clearly Elven-influenced with its advanced techniques of construction and vivid coloured decoration: bluish wall beams and blue roof tiles, a sail-like extended roofs, a small turret, a round balcony and arched windows composed of the transparent glass sheets framed with the green ones.
