.....well almost, it has some partial legs designed now.

Have a couple of designs of tower items for my radar building. Don't like the spiral design and don't like the hex based design much better.
Would prefer a hollow steel structure better but also want to design a model that can be replicated in resin as well. Any ideas? I am going to produce both and see what they look like in the flesh, they might make nice stands / plinths for figures as well. The B9 printer is great but the setting up of the part takes some skill or at least recognition of importance. I needed two attempts to build my radar model. This part is thin walled and my first build wasn't so good, the build must have wobbled or move during the layer process, the edges were not great and the layer stepping exaggerated. A change of orientation and design of the supporting structure resulted in a much improved build and in fact one of the better builds I have produced.  Large moon base / communications base. So big it will need to be built in two parts on the B9Creator. The data sheet is attached below. This one will be good when in resin.  
Observation Post model with additional Radar Dish mounted on top.
Making use of the base plates from the cooling tower with some new designs.
A temple or fort in a sci-fi style that can be used on its own or with the same base plates. An observation post in the same way, using the base plates. The modular build allows me to get more out of my scenery. the base plates can be used on their own as landing pads or such. All available on Shapeways. |
