Awesome Pics!!!

Amazing! I've been wanting to do something like this ever since I saw the bastion and Aquila buildings but it won't be cheap!

Perhaps it's worth looking at some medieval castle pictures like [url]http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2001-04-30/castle31.jpg[/url] to see how banners and flags are hung (or just play some Assassins Creed). I think something like this would look awesome covered in banners, flags etc!

So you Mac users can't see the pics on Firefox AND Safari? Well get a bloody PROPER computer then! JK! I'm typing this on my beloved MBP using Firefox 3 for Mac and I can see the pics....

Oh wait where did my Gallery go? I saw them just then and now with a reload they're gone!

This is very weird. I'll photobucket it and try that!

Holy crap, these are awesome!
They fit so well, you'd think it was on purpose.

*shifty eyes*

Might steal this idea!

**The Plastic Surgeon** · 08-04-2009, 07:59 PM

Steal away matey! Yeah they do fit very well, except that I had to dremel off a 5mm strip on the right hand side of the shrine piece to make it fit as well as it could. It still needs a bit of putty or preferably plasticard strip to make it a neat join.

Nice work mate, just remember that you'll want doors onto the bunker level.

Other than that, maybe some work on the join between the shrine and bastion pieces, but other than that, looks nice.

Ok just went out and bought another 4 Bastions today... I'm nuts I know.

Will be playng around with several combo's on the weekend, very inclined to do a Flakturm like superstructure or the 5 x 5 (bastion sections, not feet!) base with the towers config.

Will post updates in a couple of days hopefully! Thanks for all the support and feedback guys!

Why thank you VMAN, I'm a huge Fallout fan myself (avatar being a dead give away!) but I only just got YOUR take on it. My take was that I am known in my group to be the one who can perform surgery on tanks, specifically completely screwed up tanks to bring them back to normal. Tanks that kiddies build as I work casual at a GW store and lots of kiddies bring in their latest and greatest tanks that we asked them not to attempt to build at home but to ask us for help. I had a Land Raider last weekend that had the tracks in the wrong order so he couldn't complete the set and had one LONG stretch left over, lascannon sponsons permanently glued upside down and pointed outwards like wings with the targeters aiming at its own hull and that's the short of of it! It was also covered in glue. Lots of it. Now try fixing THAT. I did it, so they called me the Plastic Surgeon.

LOL

I think I've finally got a handle on what I want and can do with this tower concept, will try something like I said later this week.

Mybe have the landing pad on top in the middle. Or is some sort of courtyard in the middle of the castle with a gate to get out from.
