Last year I started on a replica of the 'Close up' section of the Valley Forge from Silent Running.

After tracking down the kits, only 4 are used, all Bandai 1/30th and 1/15th Panzer 4s, I figured out what was needed (since revised):

Had the base pieces laser cut:

Assembled and checked against a 'life size' print out:

Well after a short delay :-) Thanks to Paul Francis and Simon Graves, castings are finally coming out of the molds here in Bangkok:

Hopefully I can start cleaning them up and attaching to the base later this week.
