Thanks, chaps.
 :)

I think it is still quite difficult to actually 'see' what I am going for here, it does just look like a oile of junk on top of a building at the moment, I know.
Hopefully, when the details are on and a coat of primer is applied, it will all look so much better.
Hopefully.....


I think a certain cowboy android would fit in beautifully there....

You are right, I reckon.
Gotta paint the bugger first, thought.....

A final update of progress before the deadline....and here is the evidence that I completely failed to get it finished in time.
 ::)

To be honest, I just did not get enough time in the last couple of weeks to finish it.
A couple of hours having fun by adding small details yesterday was never going to be enough.

I am not bothered, though, as I am still going to finish it over time, and have had loads of ideas for bits to add to this piece and how to approach the rest of the Town, so it has certainly been worthwhile and WILL be finished

I have enjoyed getting this far and am looking forward to having another crack at the beastie when I get the time.

EDIT: I have tried to add pictures as attachments numerous times and have now given up...............I may try again later.

The image problem is being tackled, BUT due to this issue  I decided to extend the deadline by a week, so you may want to reconsider!

Even if you don't find the time, when you do finish the project, most of us want to see the results as we appreciate the quality of your work.

Thank you, sir.
Most kind and very much appreciated.
 :)

I will be finishing it, regardless of the BSC, as I fully intend to getting around to building the whole town eventually.
The fact that I am enjoying messing around and adding bits is also a huge bonus!
 ;)

Mason this is great. please carry on with it. I love the way you have re-purposed the cowboy buildings whilst still being able to use them for their original use. i must now also blame you for me having to keep all the spare bits of MDF that I used to throw away. My bits box is getting huge and I blame you (mostly).

Thanks, Rob.
Keeping the option to use the OW buildings in their original guise was the main priority.
As for being responsible for your hoarding is fine with me. I can ease my own conscience by telling myself that I am only keeping crap so that you do not feel so bad doing it all by yourself.

....no idea how long this link will last, though.

Will there eventually be any additions which come down to or are at street level, to help it all blend together?

Yes.
There are going to be girders supporting the whole 'added on' structure, which will be attached to the external 'walkways' (the black plastic shims that have started to be added to the sides of the build) to give the impression of being able to support the additional weight.
This is one of the reasons that it will not be finished in time as I have only just figured out how they will 'lock' on to the other sections in such a way as not to fall off during gaming.

 lol lol
I aint finished with them yet!
 ;)

I did get a bit more done today, pics tomorrow, but I wont be finished in time for the weekend.

If one of the mods could move this to the Future Wars build I would appreciate it.
That way I can just rename it and continue the (re)building of Upsheet Creek 2 over there.
