The Madhatter Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 LOL - that'd upset a few hardcore fans on both sides of the genre. Out2gtcha and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I found this tower like structure last night in the box of spares and immediately thought this would be a cool addition: Also found in amongst stuff I fully forgot I had, was this little gem (the big bit in the center). I layed out a few parts just to get some kind of structure going. Obviously, its just a base, but what do you think? Should I use it as well or just stick to the one building? Is it a bit too 'Old factory" in it's appearance or would it pass in the world of SW? One thing that I've noticed or thought about is the rest of the tile details. Is it too much with another building? Are these buildings out of scale with the rest of it? I don't think so, but I am doubting my scaling abilities lately, so I thought 'd see if I can get some honest, constructive feedback. scvrobeson, Alain Gadbois, Uilleann and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I think it’s an artistic question. Scale with the base and other structure is ok, also this new structure will fit if it is dressed with some additional mini details. Will two tall structures look ok on the base? Maybe you should add a few smaller intermediate ones on the surface to create more balance. Just a thought!

The Madhatter Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) I realised I forgot to add this image which might help see it all together: I have been adding a few smaller structures around before I started these buildings, so I am hoping that it will balance out more soon enough Edited August 10, 2022 by The Madhatter Uilleann, Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 You know I think that looks pretty cool! Like it a lot. go with it, my opinion The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Alain is on the right track. 2-3 smaller buildings will help tie it together. Looks good! The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Kev's explanation of it is exactly what it is - a starship in the shape of an airbrush (and one that I use to -HP-C+). I personally really like a subject that is off center. Im thinking of grey, blue and metallics for a scheme.

The Madhatter Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 hey again Got one building done and primed and have started on the second one. I'm hoping to have the first one painted by the weekend. I have already drilled out the holes where the fibers will be going. I lost count after 50 and 8 drill bits later The good news is it won't require a lot big lengths of fiber. I am contemplating sticking in just little bits of fiber and flood lighting the entire inside but I am not sure I can get much light through the top sections. They'd require longer lengths I think. Also, there would not be enough room to angle an LED bright enough to fill the space... unless I used SMD strip? Enough pondering, here are the pics. I used my phone and not my proper camera coz I can't be faffed getting it all set up In black primer with a very light white primer highlight coat brings it all together nicely And together with the new building. I drilled out some vents on the side of the tower and I'll stick in some strips of clear sanded styrene to cover the openings from the inside. With a red LED shining up from the bottom it'll look pretty cool with the sanded styrene diffusing the light nicely. At least - that's the plan and lastly, the new position of both on the surface: Well, I think I have bored you all enough, but as always, please feel free to critique or suggest anything that could be improved.
