Or a Dr Who game.  ;D The next bit of scenery would have to be a crashed spaceship!

More fantastic work, Andym!

The speed with which you get these projects moving is phenomenal, you must be a man of leisure with a vast fortune stashed away and a whole platoon of builder slaves to complete the tasks that you set them.
Either that, or you are just damn efficient!

Will be watching this avidly, as my next project is a Clocktower.
I will be on the lookout for any ideas to steal copy!

Here's me and the boyz in our annual work photo. That's me with the top hat! ;)



I wish I was a man of leisure. The stuff I could do...... Cost-wise so far, probably about a tenner! It's all scrap bits of mounting card and card from various boxes that would have ended up in the bin. The clock mechanisms have probably brought the cost up. It would have been about a five quid!

Well I had a wee hour to play about yesterday. I've went with the general concencus and rebuilt the top. There's still a bit of detail work to do and I'm thinking of adding a weathervane to the top. As it stands, it's currently 48cm tall and 13cm wide. The weather vane should push it over the half meter...



Cheers guys!

Notice that the clock face is a mirror image on the Dr Who sequence!

Can't wait to see this painted up.
BTW : I've got a wallpaper on my desktop for a while now that goes along fine with this build :

Just think of the possibilites of other national landmarks post-apoc style!  :)  Half a Tower Bridge over a dry riverbed, a crumpled London Eye (just love modelling that!) St. Pauls dome collapsed, Nelson's truncated column.

Ooooh, the possibilites abound.  o_o :D
