Area 88: the base (diorama) 1:144

Rough plan of what i have in mind. 

Full scale plan on an A2 paper, revetment needed to be wider and lower. 

raw build of the revetment, made from old Lego bricks, will be dressed up with styrene rod and plasticard to make it look like a revetment. i will use painted sandpaper to represent the sand filling. 

Mc Coy's warehouse, first plastic cut. 

Mc Coy's warehouse, floor and warehouse doors. 

Main assemby of McCoy's warehouse, stil need to work out interiour colors and stock details.

plastic cut for main command building and control tower. 

hangar front under construction. 

assembly of main comand building and control tower.
i noticed a made a mistake and the main building is made too long, but on the other hand the original design always seemed a bit small imho.
so i decided to roll with it and keep it the way it is. rough works is now done, also built the control tower's glass top (not visible).
now comes the detailing of the buildings. 

Dry fitting thesub-assembies, railing added on main structure and tower.
still working on the interiour of the tower (a glimps can be seen on the right).
