That’s awesome that they flew you guys out there for this.

Very impressive for a 90 minute model! But was 90 minutes all the time they gave you to build the model, or could you have taken more time if you wanted?

I’m curious why you chose to contruct the microscale wall using the four shades of gray. The photos of your visit to the actual wall shows the stones that comprise the wall to be quite uniform in color.

I was also surprised you didn’t use 1x3 arches for the doors to the gatehouses. Those stand out in my memory from my own visit to the wall.

Just nitpicking, though. Very cool model. Hope the trip was a blast.

I think the scale is far, far too small for the 1x3 arches to be used for that!! But more importantly, very impressive model. I love the landscaping. -Josh (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
