Effective! Will there be lights inside those towers? Are you going to magnetize them?

Nope there won't be lights – at least not by the 30th, as i don't have the time or the materials at present. It would be easy to do though.

I won't magnetise anything now, some of the towers will probably be velcro and taped together. I'm not glueing any details onto the towers as they need to be easy to stack for transportation.

What format would you like the banners in Jimmy? vectors in Ai atm (it's just an aquila and skull auto-traced from image search).

Anyway, another phone shot of what the towers look like at the end of today:

Illustrator is great though honestly any raster format is fine too. They'd be handy to print on the old laser for my buildings and frankly I'm happier being lazy (e.g. focusing on the painting) if I can be ;D

thanks!


Absolutely flabbergasted by the awesomeness that I am seeing there!

some say bigger is not always better - but in this case bigger is better. I remember the original hive project, great idea, but i am even happier to see this coming together.

keep up the great work. Ace!

Now that I notice the Titan the scale to what you have makes me think of this classic picture from 1st edition. Great work

Nice pic jimmy, hadn't seen that before, that's one very athletic reaver!

They have been named!
The gates have yet to come, and will be far smaller, thought it would be fun to make a waller where the towers were that big!

Today will probably be the last day i spend time working on the spaceport, anything left undone will not be done, as i need to get onto the palace.

Almost done with spaceport

the terminal buildings in front of the towers, i havn't made the landing pad to go on top of four tall columns yet.

Love the terminals! So cool. I hadn't really grasped the size of those towers until noticed the Reaver.

Size matters. Evidently.
Good show so far!
