It surely is, Michael
Wall construction continues. The last picture shows another place where I decided to add a base part, to fix some angles.

As you probably know, I almost invariably make half-thickness cuts to get regular folds. Half-thickness cuts may not be without consequences for the final geometry, making assemblies a little bit fatter. For some smaller parts, I got used to delaminate the tabs, taking advantage of cutting to remove part of the tab thickness. It takes some time, but the better finish is worth the effort.

Looks great Ricardo! A bit of a pity that the stairs have not been detailed as stairs, instead of a slide. That would have been a very realistic detail. I like that some of the windows show the reflection of whatever is opposite of the building.

Cheers,

Great start to an impressive looking building! Always enjoy your builds.

@Erik – yes, it is a bit surprising that all the stairs are modelled as ramps in an otherwise detailed model, at such a large scale. Both Erkotyp and Dukase often have real stairs.
@Fred - thanks
The palace has so many decorated entrances that I don’t know which is the main one! Maybe the one whose access stairs are shown on the last pictures. The stairs and the platforms on both sides are almost completely modelled in a single part, which has a huge quantity of forward/rearward folds and tabs. Very tricky to get the angles right…
