Fantastic work CB, that's going to be a great set to play on.

**Gargobot**

Just went through the log and I have to say it was quite the pleasant trip down memory lane. I have many of these models myself. And the terrain is pretty inspired too, good job all around.

**Sigur**

I just had a look through the pages (since I haven't commented in a good while), and I have to say that loads of cool stuff is happening here.

That recent terrain is really inspired! Great work.

**RedSarge**

Good Sir, your red Necromunda tower platforms are reminding me of Red Dwarf!

**Captain Brown**

Thank you muette, Gargobot, Sigur, and RedSarge,

I really appreciate the comments.

Three more angles.

The long painting and converting war continues...

**Guardling**

Nice work on the tower!
Looking forward to what you build next

**Captain Brown**

Thanks Guardling,

Another three shots from other angles.

**Easy E**

Very inspiring builds through out this thread.

I am glad I finally managed to stop by!

Hat's off and kudos on the work.

**Cap'n Facebeard**

Looking good. The little additions like the chains really bring it to life.

**Tommygun1918**

Tower came out really well. Nice weathering too.
Have you seen any of the new Necromunda terrain you like?

**Olthannon**

Looking excellent as per CB!

**Meer_Cat**

Favorite found item usage of the day: is that a sewing machine thread bobbin masquerading as a cable reel? Goona file the serial numbers off and borrow that!

**blockade23**

Sigh - Well I was going to focus on that medieval village I've been working on, but now maybe I should open up this original Industrial Necromunda terrain sprue instead...

**Karak Norn Clansman**

Mighty fine scenery, especially the scratchbuilt terrain.

Your Necromunda board is fantastic. Impressive! Love the graffiti and the gangs.

I'll have to trawl through your entire project log here and save choice pictures as reference pictures for future doodles and terrain building of my own.

As to the width of roads at the start of the project log, one would expect them all too often to be too narrow in the Imperium. Especially since private motoring with personal cars would not be a mass phenomenon at all (that is a form of freedom, and the Imperium do not do freedom).

Perhaps one or two "road pocket" sections could be fun to add, where instead of a wider road, you have a widened short section for one vehicle to pull over upon meeting another broad vehicle. I do not know the English terms here.

Keep up the marvellous work. You're living the hobby dream!

**Kid_Kyoto**

The wires and chains give it a lot of character, great stuff.

**Gordy2000**

Amazing work CB - those bulkheads certainly bring back the memories.

**gobert**

Redsarge beat me to it, that red really does look like Red Dwarf! Amazing work on these towers, as others have said the added gubbins are spot on! Have an Exalt

**youwashock**

Another masterful build, Cap'n. Keep it up!

**Captain Brown**

Hey thank you Easy E, Cap'n Facebeard, Tommygun1918, Olthannon, Meer_Cat, blockade23, Karak Norn Clansman, Kid_Kyoto, Gordy2000, gobert, and youwashock

I have been away from this log while I finish up my Eldar, but with the summer challenge I figured I make a tower...or two. Mostly from the Outlanders expansion.

Very exciting CB. Can't wait to see this come together. When I eventually get through enough of the grey pile to focus on terrain I'm going to have to re-read this thread from page 1 and steal a LOT of ideas.

Thanks for sharing,

**Captain Brown**

Thanks tzurk,

Some progress, rivets, metal plates, vent openings, and hatches.

**gobert**

The textures are progressing nicely cap!

**Dysartes**

Nice work on the previous tower, Captain.

I noticed you mention "vent openings" there - will you be adding vents/ducting to the underside of the platforms?

**Cap'n Facebeard**

This all looks very promising

**blockade23**

You're giving me excellent ideas for the old necromunda industrial box set I have lying around.

Just lots of plastic sprue to make the decks strong.

**tzurk**

**gobert**

Yep, ordi is very cute!

**muette**

Whaat a cutie, the destroyer of worlds!!
