http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net There will be an uprooted tree in the middle and a hole blown diagonally through the entire piece. So far I've only got the floor and planter boxes finished, half a window and the front steps. I'm waiting on more molds for the roof on the frieze that will be in the front entrance.
I have yet to finish the second half of the piece as well, which is actually larger than this piece, smaller width wise but longer to accommodate a reflecting pool which will run the length of the back half. the back half also had a second level which is designed with a removable side so as to make it easier to do interior combats. Each roof piece will also be removable and attach back with magnets and interlocking wedges. Also there will be a interchangeable back wall window that can be swapped out for the back half as it takes up most of the mid table.
The finish product will be an elaborate greenhouse, overgrown for some time. I plan to litter the floor with broken glass (plasticard sheets) and roots and vines. the plant life will be flooding over the walls and vines will sprawl up the walls through the cracks and around columns. The tree centerpiece will provide some cover when behind the uprooted roots and soil.

A few things I still can't decide on:
-Should the tree be almost horizontal laying out through the broken side or should it be laying against it split from mortar cannon fire?
-Should I give the outside a layer of bricksheet and stucco over it with some brick showing through here and there or leave it looking like concrete?
-Should the frieze be ornately decorated with some sort of emperor crushing chaos motif?
-Should I make a set of 3 smaller windows for the outer walls or stick with the 2 larger?

Heres the images:

Maybe the tree should be surrounded by a fountain of some sort.

If it is a green house, what are you going to use for plant life? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4099180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4099180.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4100302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4100302.page GMT I think maybe some windows on the back wall, were the door is would look greato .
Are the windows going to be stained glass or just clear glass? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4101448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440234/4101448.page GMT
