Thanks all!
Bernernie, I need to either fill the windows or add inside details because of the scale issue. Once you add a floor in the center of the piece, it looks gigantic, but in scale with 6mm guys (at least I think so!) If I do neither and just build the tower as is, I looks a lot more like a 40k bit plonked down with epic stuff. Which is fine in a lot of cases, but some of the building panels have some tell tale signs that really give away the scale, such as lights, doors, windows. Even the height of a control panel can look out of place against 6mm. The larger piece is easy as once it is finished there will be enough 6mm detail added to make it look right. The tower is too small to really add anything to the inside, (as the roof will not be removable on this part) but you would still be able to see inside! (those windows are large!)
its just a lot of work, especially if I add a floor inside. The inside needs to be drilled out, the floor then needs adding, and then its a bit of fiddling to get everything to fit flush. It to an age to drill out all the detail in the main building, some of that 40k detail is really thick, but it felt worth it because the floor space allows me to do all sorts later on!
Small micro update:
lots been done, but it doesn't look much different, but I swear I have been gluing like mad!
Firstly, the walkway has been extended and increased in size to support a base. I couldn't make it big enough for the long bases as it would have been way to large then, but it has increased the overall foot print by another inch, but I think its looks better for it. Detailing to the walkway is done, and it is magnetized.
I will think of some way to add gubbins to the underneath to hide the support platforms and the magnets, probably a mixture of pipe work and cables.
Had to do a lot of trimming of the main building to get the floor to fit in snug, and Ive had to remove a lot of door parts on several doors to make the doors half the size, so they look less 28mm and more over sized 6mm.
Tried to add lights to the small tower, but My lights were too large and not bright enough to really make an effect so I will leave that for another project another time.
I will probably start work on the smoke stack/sniper tower next so i dont get too burnt out working on the same area for ages. I have also decided to not add anything that depicts one chaos god or another, as too be able to use it for all walks of chaos, including my space vermin. I will instead magnetize statues and decorations so I can swap them out (between nurgle and rats) plus that way I get too build more cool bits!
Im going to to give it a day or so to dry and then I am going to decide if it needs to be braced or reinforced as its pretty sturdy once you have all the floor layers in, but I dont want the floor to buckle over time.
I have some pretty good ideas of how I am going to paint this but still deciding on what industrial style paint scheme I am going for. I am thinking of dark green outside and a redish brown inside/floor. I have brought some specialist paint to paint this but so far Im still experimenting with the paint to get good effects in small scale.
The spaces between the walkways will need to be filled with green stuff and have texture added by hand as I couldn't get it to fit snug with out damaging the doors, and I wanted the doors as they are. But that means I can have a space for more hazard stripes!
Edit: I just wanted to point out that yes, I do use an allias on facebook, for those that have seen me post this in the epic group, but was curious why my name is'nt what I say it is! Some one was curious about it before, and I didnt want to keep explaining it! Call it essential and necessary paranoia!
