...thinking of a “turbo lift” on each level to represent moving from floor to floor...or should I not worry about it...just assume there is a lift and you move from floor to floor...straying towards making a lift....Thinking of representing with a bit of piping...
This is wild! I love the mere concept
I'm loving the whole idea. As you mentioned turbo lifts and landing pads It occurred to me that one of these might work better inverted with just the lift at ground level and a nice wide landing pad for the The ship(which I particularly like. It was always my favorite thunderbird) and room to skirmish.
The forced perspective is a really clever concept, but I'm not sure it translates to the tabletop as effectively as it could. I fear it detracts from the rest of the board and doesn't add enough value to the project. Rather than trying to build the ground level I feel either a plain black baseboard or a bird's eye photo of an industrial/urban sprawl would give a suitable feeling of distance to the build.Having said that, you're already further along in your Dredd project than I've ever made it with mine So you do you, and I'll be eagerly watching.
Awesome! I for one love the whole forced perspective thing; it adds just that little bit extra IMHO.Why not off-set the floors of the tower so they're all even on one side. That's where you can then add the turbolift pipe, outside of the tower footprint...
I'm late to the party here, but a quick poke around online tells me they make a wide variety of those cupcake display stands, many of which have a single central tube as a support. They wouldn't be as stable and sturdy as the design you've got here, but they'd also make the "lift shaft" thing effortless. You might be able to get spare tubes and add extras for extra durability/multiple lift tubes as well. Also, take a look at "champagne glass cupcake towers" for an instant "dome topper with aerial dock/antenna platform" piece.Kind of amazed how much of this stuff there is.
Nice find (are they £10-15 with cupcakes?).I look forward to seeing the buildings finished.
Great start! Maybe the greenery is still a little bit too 'plastic'? I've had some success with a light green spray and some pigments to knock the artificial edge off them.
