That cracked me up.
I'm going to stop looking for a solution to a "problem" I haven't encountered yet. I'll give the X-acto knife a try. If that doesn't work out for me I'll go back to obsessing about finding a tool for this.
Once you have this tower wrapped up, what's coming next? Walkways you say? That's excellent! I was wondering what you walkways would look like! Really looking forward that that.

The nice thing about the styrene rod rivets is you don't have to worry if you cut some too long, once the glue dries you can take a pair of clippers to them to even them out.

@ Skalk - Yep thinking of some walkways and other non-bulkhead based structures next. I need to wrap this one up first tho.

i still prefer my holepunch made rivets if it is all the same to you thank, you very much^^ the chopersystem looks also very tiresome...the holepunch is quick and quite verstaile... if i ever need it for other uses it is still there... with this i made ornaments and lots of other stuff...the chopping of rods into small discs would drive me crazy...and it is thousand times more dangerous in my opinion... and you know the drill...safty first!

lol @ Vik
By the time you read this post, I have already commited to primer...i see a red door and I want to paint it black....
I don't have enough styrene I-beam to add the thickness to the floors, so rather than do a poor job, I am opting to not do that job at all.

with a pace like that you have a fully functioning hive at the end of the year...
and yet again seeing all primed in black makes a lot of difference!!!
but one thing these pics show quite clear... we taht is you need new bridges done by you...cardboard isn´t filling the bill anymore^^

Well man, I can't keep up this pace forever, I'll need to shift gears soon. The walkways will definately get made, but I have a shortage of material now, not sheet, I have plenty of that left, and I have plenty of rods and tubes, but I need to either take a trip to my overpriced, friendly local hobby shop or make a bulk order online somewhere to get square rods and I beams and girder/truss stuff first. there is nothing more annoying than having to conserve resources when you are in full creative top gear.
edit..and I've only got 1 sheet of tread plate textured plasticard left, I'll need more of that too. Walkways will need planning unfortunately.

oh.... yeah i feel your pain here... when in a creative frenzy and then the material is spent... that is like getting a RC car from santa and no battreies included but a full weekend before the shops reopen after holidays...maybe thats why i rely so heavy on cardboard... i just opens me a new box of cerials and i am set^^ but heck i think i need a new bottle of PVA... they tend to empty on two tanks quite fast^^
by the way i am currently thinking about some ways to get that textured feel to plates like the by you mentioned "tread plate textured plasticard "...any ideas of how to achieve that with cardboard? i was thinking maybe flynetting ontop of cardboard?

ok, what if you found picture of tread plating online, resized it to O gauge or 40K scale, whatever looks right, printed it, then used a small screwdriver or other tap to sort of emboss each tread on the other side of the cardboard. It works for rivets in thin 0.20" plasticard using a dull nail or scratch awl.

I-Beam is normally expensive anyways, but a 15" length is a good sized piece of plastic really. Here I found 4-15" lengths of 1/2" stuff for $3.99..not bad really

@Vik- it just made a distended bump, I think you really need a pressure plate and a negative plate so it doesnt poke through though.

I make some minor mistakes with the tanks I build, but come up with a good fluff reason for those, you can say that this tower had been repaired by someone who had the wrong prints, or a heretek, or the gangers didn't know how to make it look right, thus endangering a hide hole for a weapons cache or some such.
