Looking good Dave.

You'll get what I'm building..
And you'll LIKE IT!

reminds me of:



well... i like your stuff

Vik, are you saying Daves stuff is like German efficiency?


Because if you are...


... that isn't a bad thing

German efficiency...i am by no means known to know anything about that one... so i wouldn´t be able to judge for that... i am way too unorganized/ lazy and all... the only thing i might get a bit closer to that virtue as you might see it (me not by the way...) is that i like to be punctual... to the point that i arrive around half an hour earlier as the date would need me to... because if i didn´t over compensate my inbuilt tardiness i would be never on time...

there is nothing efficient about my terrain-building! Gak takes forever!

This coming from the man who promised updates, got everyone to tune in, and then didn't log onto Dakka all weekend!

Oh! Is that Ikea? I loveee their meatballs... and the desks aren't half bad either!

For some reason today, I got the completely irrational idea of building a foamcore Tenpenny Tower...

Tenpenny tower?

Que?

Tenpenny Tower


Although completely insane and impractical, the idea got me thinking about different ways to reproduce that Neo-Classical, rusticated fascia stonework used on buildings

On a more practical, game table-friendly scale of course
Just ideas...It took me half the day google-fu-ing stuff just so I could learn it was called"rusticated" and "Neo-Classical" - I knew what I wanted, but I had no idea what to even search for because I didn't know what it was called.

FO3... lol... i went there... but that whole qeustline attached to that tower makes me just gun everyone inside and outside... too many snobs... darn... all that lame talk there...

actually i would love to see you go build that style for a house... as it looks almost victorian to me... for a given value of victorian tho... i would like you very mucho to build that^^

They all die anyways, it is a looong, drawn out questline where you lose karma no matter what. It's best to kill Roy Phillips as soon as you see him, take the karma hit, and give a begger water to make up for it

i would have said tenpenny tower look very art deco... personally a style i really love.. fallout makers have great artistic vision

anyway... ive look through the majority of this, quite frankly epic blog and im really impressed with your scenery building talents... soon i will be embarking on a full modular city and i shall most definity be reffering to this blog for all my Q&A's

Subbed!

i have for about a week stoped playing... needed a short break,... but then i will tackle that tower... it is quite unnerving... maybe i help those zombies raid the tower... that could be fun for once^^

oh and that character...the story guy from the radio show... with that zombie servant arguile ... he is living there too... any ideas where his old chum lives?

Ah right.. I haven't done tenpenny tower yet ^_^

Thanks Man! I really appreciate it! I can't wait to see what you'll build!

now if you are reffering to me as this "gak" i assure you sir i am clean

Tenpenny Is faux regency/Victorian judging from the style of buildings... it is not smooth enough to be art deco or nuveau

THat style would lend itself to "repeating" wall patterns rather well too. Ideal for making a mold of... (Well thats my next set of "walls" I think a Faux Masonry look.)

Ah, my "Evil Character" got a place at Ten-Penny Tower,,,Did I mention the fountains serve rad free water Vik?

I never put up with the snobs so much except for trade took their caps selling them crap.

Such buildings would also look nice on a game table Dave!
Whgen in Power Armor and wandering about these places with the Super Mutants, I mentally scream "FOR THE EMPRAH!"

LOL that!

Hey vik - you want to find argyle - head directly (and I mean directly) west from smith casy's garage (when you've found it). You should come across a boulder with bunting across it set into a cliff - this is an entrance, but it has no location arrow so its easy to miss. That is all.

ah...ok...thank you weety!

Always enjoy seeing and reading about your work dude, keep it up!

No I would never refer to another human being as gak ……. However I don't think you are human …….. are you

Dave build it and they will come





I like the idea of the tower build, although it would be a different direction to your current build or would you try and blend it in some how ?

Galorn@ I think large sections could be moulded and cast up in this type of design …….. do you fancy the challenge then ?

It would be something different. My first test carve last night did not work out so well. That type of masonry work is very, very straight. Unfortunately, my carving method isn't as uniform and straight. So I'll have to rethink this idea.

What are you using as the base material for this ?

Just foamcore...

Even though I first scored it with an x-acto before using my magic inkpen, I don't believe this will look right.

If I make even one mistake (like above the right window) i'll have to start completely over.

if you follow this road dave, will there be window frames as well? some raised details? i could live with the odd error in the carving...after all it could be covered by weathring...

Well yeah Vik- this is just a test carve, you've got to take it for waht it is at the moment, a test technique piece.

understood...but looks promising nevertheless^^
