That you do

**dsteingass**

..I am just making this up as I go, btw. I have a general idea of how I want it to look, but really no plan how to get there yet.
I really didn't think the support part through when I glued together the floor panels, but I think it'll pass for something industrial when it is done.

**lone dirty dog**

Dont know what it is but it is working once you get some paint on it will be fine

**dsteingass**

Yep, but you can't paint it until it's done now can you?

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

You're starting something I've thought about doing for years. I am really looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

The molds are excellent. The "imperfections" just created more weathered / corroded character.

Thanks Skalk! You have a good eye for this look, it is much inspired by your fantastic walkways dood!

Just realized if you off with that triangle piece on each level, you can add a neat lift that would stand away from the building partially if its a full square. Might look nice on a future building, I wouldn't touch the one there though, why when you can make moaaar!

you could magnetize the lift deck do it can jump up levels..... yea yea hahaha!

Maybe the larger rectangle would be even better?

**dsteingass**

OOOh! Great Ideas Red!!
THanks Man!
Big square would make a great lift size IMHO.

**mxwllmdr**

I would think Dave could devise a way to put the lift on rails with a crank and make it actually go up and down.

**Rogue Wolves**

that building looks promising there dave

Yes, good point …..

**Galorn**

This... This x100000000

Make it happen!

**dsteingass**

This Dark Engineering thinking...this idea of a working Necromunda lift leads further down a rabbit hole of insanity.

Meanwhile...pics.

And here, I have also raised my own damn bar on riveting a bit

Closer-ups

I healed that lost rivet

**Tibbsy**

That's fantastic, I love that the floors are all separated by hatches...

The only gripe I have is that the underside has no detail, but that's very minor, and no-one would really care much in-game....

Are you going to do any kind of frame or safety-cage around the outside of the ladders? - I know 'elf 'n' safety isn't very high on an underhiver's list of priorities, but I don't think I've ever seen it done to this scale... Might look pretty cool....

Ace work anyway dude!

**madmartykmf**

Pretty cool that those I beams were the same width as the pre fabricated ladder! Definitely very fitting for this new building.

Keep up the great work

**dsteingass**

Thanks Marty! Much appreciated broheim!- That is actually a U-Channel piece of plastic around the ladder

And thank you too Tibbsy, what kind of underside detail? Vik mentioned hanging cables etc.

I liked the more retro style of your other tower better then this new one tbh...

**Tibbsy**

Well by underside detail I mostly meant the undersides of the hatches, but other details like cables would be cool....

You don't really need them though, it looks great as it is.

**mxwllmdr**

Rivets! the underside needs Rivets!

ALLLLLLLL THAT EMPTY SPACE AND THERE ARE NO RIVETS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Dave, I am almost ashamed of you. If it didn't look so fantastic I might have been......

**lone dirty dog**

HA underside needs detail see told you so …… how about some pie work and hinges easy to bug that together and stick on

those ladders are great good way to bulk them out as well have to ask the balance feet on them did you them on your chopper to get them all the same size and neat

if yes I am getting one of those as the one I have is crap and the blade bends as you cut and the shape is uneven and doing it by hand is worst

I like the idea of putting hatches on the under side that would be cool if not a bit pointless but cool.

**weetyskemian44**

Looking real good! I hope you are putting some buttresses on that. I'm sure you thought of that already though.

**dsteingass**

OK, ok for my nutball readers

-even if they are all emotional before the damn thing is even done

**weetyskemian44**

It pleases me

**dsteingass**

@Max , no I am not going to rivet the underside.

Thanks Weety! Pleasing is good!

@LDD- yep, that is the chop-it.

**Capitansolstice**

Yes Dave... The dark side beckons, we have welding torches
and cookies

**Tibbsy**

Dude! I didn't expect you to actually do it!

Looks awesome now that you have though, the details like that are really going to make it pop....

**lone dirty dog**

Wow great work there you have taken a great piece and made it exceptional now don't you feel better for that

Now have a cookie

**monkeytroll**

Lovely work

So glad you added cables

And Dave, I'd listen to Capitansolstice....the man has cookies.

**dsteingass**

Thanks guys! i'm always open to suggestions.
