Interesting. Its a good start and there is a lot of room for adding extra detail, if that is your thing.
You may ask yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"

Interesting...but when is he going to start adding the rivets? The ET is all about the rivets. ;D

I agree with you, Marc, without the rivets, he should simply discard the tower. :)
Apart from this, and the utterly unbelievable work that building such a model can represent, the guy seems very fond of 1:285 scale. Does anybody here know this scale?

It's a wargaming scale;

While the model is impressive it wasn't built to be finescale, it was built for wargaming, so it's quite unlikely he'll be adding any rivets.
