Ok I honestly believe you have lost your mind now how big is this where are you going to store it or is it doubling as one of the kids beds

No seriously interesting take on the interior decor as well, a war office on wheels well tracks at least.

Glad to see your still using all the old black magic card, cork and wood making use of everything to hand.
If you do go the wallpaper route I found online some cheap embossed paper a while ago with varying patterns that could work, might be worth a google search

I have to back the fireplace but maybe go wood burner and add the old school SP chimney to the outside, don't forget the animal rug and instead of hung animal heads you could have SM heads plaques on the walls as trophies actually I like that idea myself
Maybe do old school wood paneling for the walls easily done with your skill in card work

Vik, the place where I got my magnets a long time ago was http://www.kjmagnetics.com/products.asp?cat=168 get the n52 neomideum (spelling) as they have the strongest hold. Not sure if they ship to Germany.

As for the control room/command center, I think it needs blue carpet, and needs to be modeled after the Oval Office.

The stains were not particularly weird; Let's be honest and adult about that. The fact that the young "lady" in question chose to refrain from having the dress laundered-- and kept it stained as a memento, now that was a bit weird. For something related, and perhaps weirder...
Spoiler:
I knew a girl in college (indirectly knew. She was a room-mate of a friend.) who had a coffee can-- Chock Full o' Nuts brand, if you must know-- stuffed full of, erm, shall we say, "used" mementos of her nights of passion with various *gentleman* callers. I cannot to this day use coffee cans for anything, or even buy coffee in a can. <shudder>

i managed a Home Depot years ago and our telephone operator at the time was always complaining about how he never could go on break when he needed to. His office area was right inside the contractors main entrance area of the store and it reeked. When he went on vacation we told the person covering his area to clean the office out and get rid of the smell however he could. He brought a can of "coffee" to us that was in the phone room, and it was the nasty smell that was stinking up the place. When the guy came back from vacation he barged into our staff meeting cussing about someone throwing away his "piss cup". Seems he'd been whipping out his bits and peeing into the bucket instead of going on to break and using the restroom. What was really bad is his office had a full view door that every contractor could see through as they checked out . Had to terminate him.....it was awkward trying to explain to a 60+ year old how doing that was socially unacceptable .

much of these brilliant stuff will be instantly used for the interior of the leviathan of course!...the alcoves for instance or the tech panels!

Vik and AdamSouza are currently driving me nuts with the Dungeon Tiles. Since I and my little gang have started playing D&D 5e, I've had an itch to do something, and these guys are just making it worse. Arrgh!

Nice looking stuff. A very creepy vibe on your Trapdoor entry so far. Sometimes, less can be more effective.

Vik has mentioned how small his place is, but then developes these huge projects. I think he has an actual trapdoor into his secret workshop(which used to be the neighbors house).

The trapdoor entry is great , getting a SAW movie vibe from it.

lots of work n the trapdoor piece...and ime is again closing in...need to work there asap...but alas...leviathan work and dungeon tiles recently came first...beside...i need to build an upper structure... my thought: ruined light wall...in the US, there are far more wooden houses around han here... need to see how this could look...optional inner walls structure too...? any idea? pics would be welcome...

it is small....but ii have infested most of the living room ....wish i could burrow there...that´d be the best option....neighbours of us did that...they just bought the adjourning flat and made a breakthrough...literally^^...well...not even is our flat small-ish^^...but our wallet too...

ANYWAY....back to business.... tomorrow i have an appointment for destiny... job interview...so aall fingers crossed are apreciated...
and back to the fore...i woorked for the leviathan...yeah, who would have anticipated that? right?...yeah...so...the backstory here is that i scoured the webways to get me more sentinel pilots... there the worlds unknown gold...didn´t you knew?...now i have four seated models...shaved off their baggies on their hips and seated them...:



plan is to make these into a group workplace...with a supervisor either seated above them, or walking around them from place to place...now i need to figure out how to make scratchbuilt computer workspaces...

and...as the warroom in the prow still needs to get some love as well and since i ordered me some kneeling DF soldiers bitz.... i made this model here... it will be the grand commander of thhe leviathan...:



still early WIP but a working principle in my opinion...
also...what would you deem an appropriate torso? i thought that maybe a knight or a scion torso would do the trick...?

thooughts? additions? helpful banter...please place beneath ...

cheers, vik (who is seating all over...34°C )

Spoiler:
At my girlfriend's old flat, one of the guys from two floors down came up to complain that water was coming down and hitting his kitchen window, meaning he could never open it. Worse, when he came outside to have a look for a cause, there was a funny smell. Oddly, there were no water pipes or any other possible source of water above his kitchen window. Only a window. My girlfriend's new flatmate was a bit odd. After moving in, she started spending basically all of her time in her room. It transpired that she was weeing in a saucepan and throwing it out of the window, because the bathroom was "too far away". Her room was next to the bathroom. This went on a bit further, and at one stage, my girlfriend's flatmates had to enter the room to see if she was in there. They found a saucepan just sat in the room full of wee. Worse, it was one of their saucepans, not hers.

Eventually she moved out, and if they had not gotten ride of her the landlord was going to chuck them all out. Very weird few weeks.

Keep practicing the house/leviathan build and you'll gain experience , I want running water in it Vik.

Like the sitting guys you need some servo skulls floating around the table as well to fetch coffee, take notes and relay important messages (3 cubes of sugar).
There should be a plethora of computer screens on eBay the internal rhino door has a large screen and keyboard I believe. Or the space marine drop pod center piece looks like a fine holographic display board and the support parts(5) look like keyboards with built in coffee cup holders.

Let me know if you need some, it would be later this week before I could mail them... Plus send me your address, it's been a while (but we league guys take care of our own wether with bits or the garden hose ).

Not where I should be

Firstly great to see some action around here.

As to the pots...EEEwww!!

I also have a spare drop ship should you require from Theo's excellent suggestion.

As to the table, a piece of clear perspex painted on the underside, or better still, if you have a laminator you could try painting the laminating pouch and then running it through. You'd get a clear sheet relativly stiff, that you would hardly see from the side, now just need to make a cone from the laminate and a place it to look like the projection from the projector unit you scratch built in the middle of the floor! Doddle for man of your tallents.

Now as to the LoER, well, what are you after here? Do you want to put a floor below or above? Have I taught you nothing!! Just look at my blog. Some stirrers acquired from the local coffee shop, make a timber frame. And if you want to add shuttering, use lollipop sticks or more stirrers, or probably best make "Planks" from card, scratching grain on.

I'll shut up now.

Apologies for the correction, Shas.

bewerbungsgespräch = Application talk? Ah, but then you guys say panzerkampfwagen (armored fighting wagon/car) , instead of tank. So many syllables...

There are a lot of papercraft computer screens too. Worst case scenario, print 'em and cut em out. Lay a piece of clamshell plastic cut to fit on top. Instant screen
