These types of buildings are such fun to make, the simple make-shift nature is easy to recreate with materials which cost very little and also require a good dig around the 'spares box' we all seem to have. I had an idea of the narrow street from numerous photographs of the outskirts of the citadel of Hue and sketched a plan of the M48 and figures to get the composition. The buildings themselves are taken from sections of photographs from both books and shots found on the internet, I mixed and matched different features to suit the scene and more to the point, the parts and materials I had to hand. The first step of construction was an actual size drawing-nothing fancy, just a pencil line drawing incorporating the doors and window frames I was using. These came from a Mini Art set (always plenty spare building and diorama parts with these) and some shutters and frames in laser-cut card from Monro Perdu Studios.
