In case anyone wants/needs ideas on how to make SF buildings that are not simply box-like, take a look at this: link

Those look very cool, especially the first set. Thanks for sharing….. |

check your pm and email for some other pics of similar buildings. |

Christmas is coming up. All those presents in plastic clam shell and blister packs in weird shapes make for great starts for SF buildings. |

Those are great, thanks. If anyone has more please share, always looking for good ideas. |

The Ghosts Of Mars concept sketches are crazily better than the film. I wonder where it all went wrong? :) Star Wars Galaxies, on the other hand, looks like they just stole the building models from Anarchy Online. Specifically, they were wandering around in Tir. |

Those are inspirational. Think I'll see what I can do with that style… |

Nice images, reminds me of old-school 40K before the Gothic look came into vogue. I may need to try my hand at some of those. |

I'm tempted to email some of these pics to Amera UK to see if they would be interested in vacuuforming them for the 15mm market. There's lots of inspiration in this one alone: picture |

Javelin98, I agree. That is a fantastic illustration. CC |

I think that, whatever works on Tattoine, should work on a semi-terraformed Mars: picture

"Nice images, reminds me of old-school 40K before the Gothic look came into vogue." Exactly my thoughts Doc. Good old Oatmeal Cereal box buildings! |
| Cacique Caribe | 04 Nov 2009 4:59 p.m. PST |
"Good old Oatmeal Cereal box buildings!" Now, now. That would sound a bit blah. Is that really what they look like to you? Like oatmeal cereal boxes? CC |

Dan,
that link to the picture took a while to download, but man, sure was worth it.
Some very interesting ideas in there. Damn you.

Those low-profile buildings would also make snazzy alien designs. Critters from a planet that leant itself to that kind of structure (ie windy as all get out) would tend to build that way on other worlds too out of habit and aesthetics, the same way humans like box shapes. |

Great pics Dan Definatly set my mind going for some new products. Mike |

The old Plasticville hanger might be a good starting point for that one illustration (from Stargate link) |

"The journey to Terra Nova from Earth would take nine years at the warp speeds attainable in that period. The SS Conestoga was commissioned for the task, and was specially constructed so that it could be dismantled on arrival to serve as homes and service buildings for the colony."

Love the buildings Dan, and yes they did take stuff from Anarchy online. Personally I think the new Mos Eisley is very neat and prosperous looking, hardly looks like a den of scum. Nobody would have new looking buildings or equipment outside where it can be stolen. I hope to see a new building or two from your collection based on some these concepts. |

I think, Slave 1 (or a ship with very similar style) is 'parked' towards the top centre – just to the right of centre is a cirular loading bay with a large green ship in it, look at the circular loading bay just below that – you can see the top part and cockpit of an orange ship – to me at least it's shape looks like Slave1. |

Not a sketch, but it may inspire those wanting to lay out a few space settlement buildings: link

Dan, I love how you're an encyclopedia of wargaming ideas! I really like all these buildings for their respective looks. I think combining the low profile domes with some of the aspects of the martian buildings and you'd have some wonderful Chewk fitting homes! The Domes being the little that's on the surface, while most of their cities are below ground, to match their semi-subterranean lifestyle. |

Guys, Does anyone have any ideas on how to make buildings look like they are partially buried by sand?
Source: link Do you start with the buildings and make the dunes around them? Or do you make the dunes first and then make the buildings as if they are peeking through? Thanks, Dan |
