You know, the spires here give me a few other ideas for things that I'm considering now. Use some of the cotton sheeting and stretch it out around the bases and cover the table with the spires poking out with bridges and more natural trails to make something that fits some of the mythic east style stuff...cloud top monasteries and the like

Only two weeks left, so here we go:)

Construction of the suspension bridges, including an impromptu rig to bend the wires for the handrail:


Test-fitting the almost-finished brigde:


Control room for radar and automatic gun on top of the rocks:


Generator room:


Overall view:


As you can see, most of the rooms already have their purpose, except for the third floor. So far, we have (from the bottom up):
- harbour area
- storage area
- generator room
- ?
- control room

Ideas what to put on 3rd floor would be highly welcome :)

If you get stuck, a barrack/bunk room will always fit in.

+1

Get some concession to living space in there, even if it's not for sleeping.

 :-* it.

Is it tipsy?

Bar/lounge but more serious stuff like a lab/dining area/quarters/office would be fine too.

Great way to make the rope bridge.

Bar/lounge

A hive of villainy and scum!! Just what those human pests need after all their scavenging, polluting and murdering upon the fair seas and once pretty coastlines. :D your blue aquatic monsters can try to cleanse the source of the humans power ;)
