I just got this in the mail today from Eleven Tree Designs. It was great working with Lee on this. It's the airtower for my Bassingbourn airfield dio. The weathering is great and there are so many great details. I highly recommend contacting him if you need something made.
(I have no affiliation at all, just great to deal with him)

That looks great Zach. What is it made of?

 

[zblang]

It's some kind of composite wood it seems. Almost seems like balsa but harder and stronger.

Zach...

not asking what you paid...

but a lot of attention went into constructing that...so I'm guessing it wasn't cheap...

to carve those windows out so clean and detailed...

that is a vary...very...very nice copy...

Great looking building any chance of some pics of it in your collection ?

You bet. I'm just waiting for someone to help me lift the plexi cover off the diorama so I can put this in. Thing weighs a ton!

Zach...is this going with the airplane strip dio that Nick made?

Yup! There's plenty of room. I just have to relocate the wind sock
