I love it! Having been to Thera (now the modern island Santorini), I have to say that your model really has the right look. Nicely captured with the blue tile roofs and white domes. But you could have made the cliff a little higher. Perhaps 20 or 30 bricks at least :) The ride up the switch-backs in a rickety old bus with no guard rails was one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced.

Great model. Micro is just so much fun, isn’t it.

glad you enjoyed it. i’ve not yet been to greece, but i would imagine it to be a hair-raising experience to manoeuver through these hairpin bends! a higher cliff would have been nice, but i’ve heard i have a problem with size and manageable mocs, so i tried to keep it more compact. i would have created a much bigger footprint, but i forced myself to cut it back. i’ve been told it’s supposed to be *micro* which i know doesn’t necessarily mean small, but ... and yes it’s great fun.
