Now then, two ideas sprung to mind straight away; either a wizards tower for the Empire (GW version) or a small nef docking station.

Several other ideas have come to the fore and these are below.

Large tree with some sort of Ewok/Elven tree house
Big piece of ruined industrial terrain/water still for Necromunda (or some such game)
A tornado/whirlwind, no idea on how to make it but it would look cool
A lighthouse with working lights

But I think I'm going to go for the Wizards tower. I really like the docking station idea but I think a CD is too small for what I have in mind.

If anyone is stuck for an idea then please feel free to use the ones above  

Photos to follow

Had a little sketch at work today and came up with this for the wizards tower, rather generic but I'm a bit like that anyway 



It WILL fit on a CD

Very nice James

It WILL fit on a CD 

You sure? Very small rooms if it does and I'd be concerned over stability...

As lucy Lawless said in the simpsons, when ever anything impossible happens, a wizard did it.

Very true.

Just put a massive amount of lead or something equally heavy in the very bottom. Should do just fine

Cool, JB.

Thanks for the replies chaps 

We've got a load of M10 nuts at work which I'm going to 'borrow' for weighting the bottom, what I'll probably do is throw them in there and pour a load of pva over them (I've put a piece of card over the CD hole to stop mess  )

The main turret is about 90mm in diameter so it's not a bad size really 

More piccys


Here we have the basic rock formation on the CD


And now the tower cut to a rough shape with my Empire wizard for scale. I've decided to do the stairs down to ground out of wood and have them (at the top at least) overhanging the edge (if this is allowed )


The main tower is 340mm high so far and there will be an octagonal, one story floor on top of it, mainly because I don't like doing round tower roofs
