Cake in progress

So here is a cake in progress for my husband's birthday. Right now I am working on the gum paste portions. I am using ready made gum paste from a package, which requires kneading in a small amount of shortening. You can also see my planning pages - both inspiration shots and actual measurements. This cake will be roughly 5.5 inches square by 12 inches tall. I will be using an 8" round cake pan and cutting out the squares from it.

Cake flavor is yet to be determined - the husband has not made his request yet. Next steps will be more structural pieces and some decorative bits. Then the painting and any piping of wording.

Based on the photos, can you tell what the cake Ninja is making? (Family members are not allowed to guess.)
