It may be taking a while, but boy is it worth it bud.

Thanks Vitruvian, I guess I kinda like it too.

Thats a bit of a half-hearted comment lol

Dood, this incessant riveting is making me cross-eyed and brain-dead exhausted. I rely on you guys to tell me if it's any good, it all looks the same to me lol

Well, they look all the same to me as well, which is a good thing I guess. XD
But na, it's comming along nicely.

Oh, and I know only to well what you mean with those rivets... only to well... ><

Yeah, rivets are the worst detail to get stuck on, but that tower is looking amazing- no wait- it's A-MAZE-ING!!! This is really an awesome set you're making.

I absolutely NEED to quit for the night. wow, what a saturday's work eh?

Love the electrical box on an angle!

Just out of interest, what time is it there? Its 2am here..


edit: Is it me or is that top left rectangle piece a bit off-kilter?

Thanks man,
10:30 pm, last Quarter of the Ohio State Game. Yeah, It is off-kilter, I'm not fixing it though.

Ah cool, always thought US was further back than that! Fair enough mate, just thought id mention it. Have you thought about doing any terrain thats been heavily built over and added to by the "residents" of the Underhive?

Man, I've thought about a lot lol, what are you thinking?

Hmmm, 8:41 here on the "left coast" and still working on the ideas for my tank Vik suggested. Love the tower/base set up. Make molds of your done stuff and sell resin copies as GW actually only made card board...although the bulkheads are plastic, but well, it is old stuff, made new again. I consider the work you have done as the masters.

Im not sure, but Ive had a shanty town/ cobbled together bazaar market thing in my head for ages now. Or maybe something like a slum or brazilian favela.

You could always make something that looks like "Megaton" from Fallout-3 as a shanty town or village.

Aye, thatd be sweet.

yeah

great connection to the origional, only better!

Wow! I'm just now getting here!

Loved the last three pages, I'll have to check out the previous 22 pages later.

Great work!

Rawson

Welcome Rawson, yeah, there's a lot going on in this thread I admit. I tend to post too many WIP shots, but I have to otherwise I forget how I did things.

Thanks Rogue, that was the plan anyways.

@Vitruvian and Shas - All the fiction I've read speaks of "Hab Stacks" I've always wondered what these look like.

Here is the project as it sits this fine morning.
Still need to do MOAR RIVETS on the bottom sections, as well as around where the floors attach (and finish attaching the top floor), do the roof, and make hatches for the bulkhead ladders.

13000 READS! Thank you EVERYONE! Very impressive!

Each side of this tower is using up one of these 1mm Round Rods in just rivets.

Looks great with the multi layers, and the doors in the bulkheads.

I always thought of them like stacks of these on top of each other, like prefab plasteel/or ferrocrete:

lol vitruvian... how dare you come up with such gross pics after that beautifull terrain pieces of dstein^^ lol...

that is quite an amount of material just to rivet up one side of your tower...gosh! but fear not if i am up to the task of casting, your future rivet endeavors might be terminated for peacful solution^^

the tower is so cool looking... love the way you used the bulkhead bitz and then brought them into context with your selfmade pieces! that is so cool! also i like what you did to those pipes!

OOOh now I like that idea!

definently your coolist tower yet man, and your not even done!

Remember, this is just a copy of the original card terrain, it is supposed to look like this

In a bizzare moment, among the horde of styrene were these bits, 2mm edge strip. or a U-channel.
There were only 4 peices , exactly enough to rim the floors.
I think it makes a great addition, it adds depth to the only 1mm thick floors.

Is that even possible?

I dunno, I guess no one has complained.


Decided the floors needed some support tubes "welded" on

I wated to make ladder hatches a bit differently this time.



But I didn't realize that they would end up looking more like Steampunk Toilet Seats! lol




Automatically Appended Next Post:

its all coming together now mate. those hatches are cool.

Indeed, a great addition.

Steampunk toilet seats, lol!

haha. they look good though more like a ships hatches compared to the usual square ones

Dude, that is awesome. Love the tower and the time you're putting in to get it looking right.
