science museum/victorian torchwood HQ
« on: April 18, 2011, 02:23:01 PM »
just thought I would show you some pics of my new build I have based it on the science museum in London. At first I was going to use it as the HQ for Dr Frankenstien and Dr moreau but as i was working on it it soon became victorian Torchwood HQ

Instructions, closeups, and which ruleset / how you're modifying it for VSF/TW please, yes.
This is quite impressive.

Good gravy that's awe inspiring!  :o

A 'how to' article is definately required as well as many, many close ups!  ;D

Well, after the palace, a mere bagatelle...  lol

Just teasing! Inspiring work, that!

Closeups on the details WOULD be appreciated. Are the columns individually bricked? 

I would say not, but I've underestimated you before! :o

I'd advise slightly different materials for different portions of the building, to diminish the monolithic appearance and make it look more realistic

when i get round to my victorian streets I will use a different material (blue foam) to create them after being inspired by Pappa Midnight buildings. Im only using foamboard for my buckingham palace, science museum and British museum not really into doing step by steps because i always forget to take the photo after doing another Bit of it lol

Im starting to think of the interior now am thinking lab jars holding creatures which could hav been court any ideas would be welcome
