Waterworks 004

Just a quick Waterworks build update.

I now have the four walls glued together and the arches on two of the walls. Still casting the pillar pieces for the remaining walls.

Going to start off by saying there not much more done.

I'm going to attempt this blogging thing and figure I might as well combine it with one of my of hobbies, that way there is a reason to actually get on and update it. So in this episode, we going to the follow the building of my largest to date and as a matter of fact my most planned and thought out HA build to date.

To start off I made a list of things this build had to have and they are:

• Must be at lest 12" tall
• Use gothic panels
• use the Large gothic arches
• have pipes
• have some sort of tanks/vessels
• must include water effects
• include LED's
• Have a large open area for minis.

To get the large open area for this build, I'm basing it on a 24"x 24" base. Right now it's on 3/8 pink foam, I most likely will glue these down to a 1/4 or 3/8 plywood base.

In the upper left corner of the base is the area were the building with large gothic arches is going to sit. You can see the first section of the building in this picture too.

In this picture you see the tanks/vessels that I wanted in the build. The one is a shampoo bottle and the other is a piece to a space shuttle model that I've had for about 20 years and I've never thrown that bit of it out. I've always thought I'd find a use for it and I finally did with this build.
