La Haye Saint- 2 in 1

2 in 1, I hear you say? Destroyed and complete, here's how. You need two La Haye Saints, this is the good old Airfix 1/72nd model from the 70's The base is hard board, and the central paved area is wall paper sample from B&Q (Free). I made the internal damaged walls smaller internally than the shell that will go over it. Make sure before glueing in place (tack with hot glue gun with roof off). photo DSC00782.jpg

The extended wall on the model had to be made thicker,by using two of the walls stuck together to make a shell,so the ruined wall could not be seen photo DSC00772.jpg
