Based on the MC1 building nomenclature it could be called Terry Nation Block or something?

I was thinking of LAF members for the names of blocks! ;)

Kaled Towers is a wonder to behold. Brilliant stuff!

Thanks Karl! Kaled? Dalek backwards?

I have been avoiding of the distraction of "Future Wars" for about a year while I work on non sci-fi for a while...  and this is what I come back to.


Exquisite work Andy, just gorgeous.
 

Because I am a Dredd dork and enjoy the jargon as much as the next squaxx, a common MC1 term is "Eeziglide" (a subset of "pedway").  Possibly an "eeziglide pipeway".

"Eeziglide: One-way pedestrian conveyance that functions as a human conveyor-belt." from Wikipedia.

Please keep it coming AndyM!


Thanks Cheetor! It's nice to know I can be a bad influence on you after you and your thread leading me down the garden path! ;)

I'll get 'Eeziglide' on those tubes somewhere!

Awesome updates!

And glad to see that my paved road technique is still being used!

Cheers Sangennaru! Yes your technique has been invaluable! Have you ever found an easier way to do it though? It's a killer on the hands after a spell! :'(

Looking again I'm insanely jealous of your output. You've pretty much got everything you need haven't you  8)

cheers

James

Actually, I still don't! I'm really struggling to get the tower fans and hoovers I'm needing to give me some height to my board! The Dalek tower and grey heater thingy are a bit of a desperate case where it was the only half decent bits I've been able to find soo far! :'(


Thanks again chaps!

Could the grey one be John Desaguliers Block (inventor of the first fan heater, if that's what it was originally)?

Thanks guys! Some great ideas for names there! Cheers!

I've got a couple of the raised levels painted up now. My plan is to have four of these that can either be split between different parts of the board or put back to back in the middle of the board to create one big higher level. The pipe bits are separate and can be moved anywhere on the board.

Oh my.
This just gets better and better.
After seeing this I think I'll just make a cursed earth board. With just cursed earth and nothing else.  :D :o

Brilliant. Squalid and grim, yet clear and neat.

That looks Drokking great, mate.
 :-* :-*

Raised levels are a great way to add modularity to a board and MC-1 certainly has loads of levels, so it certainly fits the feel.
