I will try my hand with mostly scratch building a part of a sonic defense barrier with a 3 angled sound emitter set up.

I have rivets ready and waiting!

great idea Cleatus. True essence in this round

It Begins.....



going to need somewhere to put them, terrain like I guess....



Bring it on....

oh well now I'm kicking myself!!...just noticed this thread the day I finished my ork goff rockers/rockwagon project!...wish I'd known this was coming up! I would've done a terrain-piece stage or something instead/as well! ...ah well, I don't think I'll be taking part in this one, I just spent basically the past month on a big "noisy" project, not sure if I have another one in me yet!

I'll be watching though, looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with! "sounds" like an interesting theme!

here's a pic of my band anyway, to cheer you all on

Very cool, especially the name

I'll go ahead and toss a theoretical hat into the ring for this round. Planning a propaganda tower with Big Head screens, like such:

Cool.

Oh Zobo..>That is absolutely amazing!

Interesting ideas all. I'm thinking a scale model of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-- with a few adjustments, so that it is playable terrain. Time permitting. Hobby time has been scarcer than hen's teeth these past few months.

Dunno whether this'll fit but I want to produce some kind of deep space listening post. Will that be good for this?

great job all.
fanstastic stage Akka Dakka

@Liamahead - lisstening post, don't know how will look for deep space, but some ideas for shorter distances

http://thunderbirds.wikia.com/wiki/Thunderbird_5 is my inspiration the other option is something built upon a small moon like the ones orbiting Armageddon.

I have an idea forming in my head for a piece of rectangular base, with a pair of the sonic defense barrier system on either side.

Okay so hears my idea, and start. A wreaked tank turned commissar hut, pulpit. It'l have steps leading up to the address pulpit, a little shack to enlarge the quarters in the tank. A entrance in the side with some tarpaulin action and i'ma cover in propaganda posters because what speaks louder than words. (but really i just wana make some ).

Cool, that's got a real Apocalypse Now vibe to the drawing, looking forward to it

wow...Such great ideas!

Done a little bit more....


Fantastic ideas coming on guys.

That looks like it's gonna rock out! \m/ \m/

Cheers guys! my progress so far, hope it inspires some motivation Looking good Cam..

The loud horn designs, just card rolled up, easiest way i could think of doing it.



corrugated steal (card) will be used a lot in this build as its easy and has that bodge feel.


The basic shape along with the frame for the tarp.


Left the door open a bit to give some depth.


Soaked a small piece of linen in pva and glue, i hope this will give it some strength, and be a dam sight easier than sculpting it from green stuff.


So far so good, just got wait for it to dry.


'Spre-lings' and 'sprivets' on the platform.


Found a ladder, no point in making one when i have one i doubt i would ever use anyway

Is alive!






let's Noise begin

So far, i can make a series of 3 single sonic emitter fence posts, or make them 3 emitter posts. (That would be 3 facings per post.)

So in effect I can make it like

I I I

or

I I

Some fantastic ideas floating about, be nice to see some WIP.

Starting on the details...

Mixing deck...


Going to need power so generator...

Sound emitter main modules, recycled from my injector cover caps, they prevented fluid from leaking out of the syringe.

These will be placed into amplifier boxes attached to the posts, which will be based with a wider access pylon.

Brilliant parts recycling Shas. They look very interesting shapes.

Thanks Cam, you are too kind!

I have cut the pieces I needed to make the emitters and their amplifier boxes.

the pylons will be next.

You must construct additional pylons!

Hahaha beat me to it anvil

That's a awesome genny cam, and can't wait to see these pylons.

Good ideas, good progress.

As for myself, I've pulled out the central piece for my idea, but not had a chance to do anything with it yet...
