Despite still awaiting a roof to top the thing, I've thought you would like to see what our upcoming modernist-styled Catalonian Wine Cellar is starting to look like. Better than trying to explain it in words, let's share a few pictures of the prototype:
Please note: The main trick we're using to make a relatively lightweight model kit from this otherwise massive building is that the thick cardboard box of its packaging is going to be the building main body, on which socles, windows, false towers, terraces, and other architectural details are to be fixed, so as to build the ultimate kit.
Such a trick will allow us to set an affordable pricing for the model kit, as well as to keep its total weight below 400g – a measure that ought to permit shipping expenses' economy too, while still allowing for a durable, tough model building on tabletop.
Two long side terraces will allow for miniatures to be placed on top, to help use the building not just as a simple background decoration, but as a terrain element by itself. And lastly, users will have the choice not to glue the roof on top, thus allowing indoor practicability too.
I'm quite happy about the thing's development, honestly.
Cheers!
