I was just looking at that – it looks bad…but not as bad as it could have been. Most of the rubble and junk needs to be cleared away, and probably some work on the interior walls, but at least it isn't falling down. |

It was built for warfare, so bittersweet more than sad. Nice model to have on the table for a modern wargame at least. |

Great idea! Didn't even consider it for modern warfare. |
