Dueling towers..

Accompanied by a soundtrack of "Dueling Lutes"?

Gracious goodness, James, that is big. Maybe a bit too tall for my taste (the second section seems to break the proportions a bit), but I'm sure it will be formidable once you finish it.

  Good golly.  Give the man a restriction on width and he goes for length! 

[Ray Rivers]

Looking great!   

Would make a great bong as well...

Sheer genius in terms of lateral thinking. Give that man a prize, possibly something in a small ziplock bag.

[nervisfr]

it's look very impresive.

Take care about Al Qaida if they have a spare plane for you....

[Andym]

Looking good.

As a gaming piece though, is it not going to be top heavy and prone to falling on all your cracking models?

I'm totally jealous of your workbench, at this point in time anything I do is on a folding Ikea table in our living room which I only get to use when my good lady isn't studing!!

[OSHIROmodels]

It's not top heavy as there are about 30 M10 nuts in the bottom all glued down with wood glue. The actual pitch angle, believe it or not, is about 45 degrees 

I've re-modelled recently so I have a bit more space and organisation and when I take a couple more progress shots later today you'll see 

cheers

Looking forward to the photos!

This project is right up there in the "very ambitious" category.

I know you can pull it off, though...

My theory is that this is being funded by some oil rich gulf kingdom. It's the logical outgrowth of their 1:1 scale 'my toer is bigger than yours' competition. Do not be at all surprised if Jim's next competion entry is an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree, a pineapple or somesuch.

...or some other phallic shape. When, O when, in these days of enlightenment and equality will architects start balancing things out and erect buildings in the shape of a giant hoo-ha.

Never, they've all got something to prove

We have these all over the country, often in pairs...

[OSHIROmodels]

Nice, but for phalo-centricity then go no further than the buggers that designed and built this one...



The Burj Kalifa. Tallest building in the world. I'm 6'5" so it gives you some sort of an idea of scale, the model is at 1:500...

cheers

Ha, ha I was right! Oil interests are behind this.

As a champagne fountain for a wedding reception it's quite an impressive build. Pity you didn't show us the shot with the bubbly actually flowing.
