Thanks, Joe and Fred

The Radnicni tower occupies the corner of a large group of buildings. The kit includes the tower and a bit of the annex buildings. It has just 3 pages, as shown in the pictures.

May be simple but well done!! I look forward to more.

Sorry for the late answer, Mike.

The tower is not a gate but there is a door inside! The assembly shown is tricky, as any misalignment would cause a twist. I added card rectangles at the base, in order to stabilize the shape before gluing the whole thing to the base.

I doubled the thickness of the add-ons to the building next to the tower. However, the 3D is hardly visible on the pictures…

The result will be a beautiful model.
Unfortunately, the most interesting - Gothic ornaments, model no.

@ group b - the picture shows some "extras" on the upper part of the tower. They definitely look good but are not part of the kit. Is it a detail set? I bought the kits at GPM and Dukase's detail sets, when they exist, don't seem to be available there

Fixing the roof was tricky because of the poor accessibility. It is a complex surface, with concave and convex angles. Very “mobile”, if you see what I mean.

All I can say is WOW. Very nice work.

Unfortunately, set to repair the roof there. They are laser parts, what I had made for the model of the cathedral, a few I've used on the tower.
It would have been difficult, but it is produced by hand from cardboard.

Ooh! I like that one!

Thanks for the comments

@ group b - yes, cutting all those tiny parts on card, by hand, would be a nightmare!

Today’s pictures show the trickiest part of the kit. On the simple version, the thickness is not modeled. On the realistic version, it is as you see. The tiny roofs are printed in strips. It is up to the modeler to separate them in individual parts, as needed. Fortunately, the amount printed is more than enough …
