I put together the outer walls and the inner chamber where we can see the tombs.
I have found a little hard and laborious to make all the recesses. |

Nice work, Tino It is good that the kit includes a bit of inside detail!
It looks that each recess is made of a single part. At first sight, it is a good solution and 3 slices to make the top is correct, too. There is no double curvature to model here. What I find a bit puzzling is the tab location. As it is, the designer should be expecting that the slices would be glued together before applying the whole recess to the wall. If the parts are properly shaped, it should go well. Nevertheless, if something is not perfect, either the recess doesn’t fit exactly the wall opening or the wall will not be flat. Either way, it can be noticeable. It might be safer to glue the recess base, sides and lateral slices to the wall in the first place. Any possible problem would manifest itself on the central/side slices joint and be less visible. In that case, the central/side joint tabs would better belong to the central slice, which is not the case. I suspect that the kit designer didn’t make your life easier |

Philip - Thank you for your comment.
Ricardo - I had some dificulties in making an perfect adjustment of the recesses. I glued the base first, then the sides and only in the end the top. It wasn´t a pleasure but its done. Today I just bring the model with the ceiling. |

That is one very clean piece of modeling. To have surmounted all those problems and reach this point is a tribute to your talents. Well done.

Thank you Madbrit!!
Well, next I`ve done the corner towers. It wasn`t a perfect fit but was more or less good enough. |

Very nicely done, Tino! The print of the model is extremely realistic and attractive, typical for the recent Schreiber Bogen kits.
Cheers, Erik |
