Forbidden city

I love building things if you hadn't noticed. One project which hasn't been gamed with yet (The Convention fell apart the year I prepared this) is this rendition of the Tartar and Forbidden City around 1900 to about 1925. Those 3d puzzles I mentioned earlier were purchased with this in mind, along with scratch-built walls and other provided by Curtey's.

We are looking past the main gate in the Tartar City Wall towards the main (Meridian gate) permitting entrance into the Forbidden City. to the right of center you may recognized the Temple of Heaven (blue roof) which is actually located further away in Peking, but the model was so gorgeous, I had to place it here
Looking over Hall of Supreme Harmony towards the Meridian Gate
The West Glorious Gate to the Forbidden City. Since I took the previous photo, I've since added the Gate of Supreme Harmony with the statues in front
Outside the Forbidden City I've been adding the various 3-d Puzzles mentioned earlier to make a very believable Tartar City
A Qin Military Parade
Officials overlooking the gate to the Tartar City
The Troops look so 'pretty', too bad they will fight so badly for the Qin
Even added a metal model of a Korean Turtle ship...not very historical...but it looked cool
As earlier stated, was hoping to unveil this at TactiCon 2015 but perhaps this year if they can get the Con off the ground
