Very nice work, but considering the person building it, that is to be expected.

Really well done. That is professional level work to be sure. One minor thing though, the base structure is nicely washed and a bit dirty (in a good way), but the tower itself looks awfully pristine.

Any plans to dirty up the grey portions of the models a bit?

Good point on the weathering. When I originally built it, I envisioned that the hi-tech equipment on the mast would be well maintained and would not get as weathered as the base. So I only gave it a very light dusting, which you really can't see at all in the pics. Now that you have mentioned it, it does look kind of dumb. If nothing else the cage, pole, and platform should at least be weathered like the base, if not the antennae. So yes, I'll probably go back and fix that at some point.

The doors are pinned, the roof comes off, and it looks like the roof hatch rotates. Wow.

Does the removable roof make you a little worried with the antenna structure attached--how's stability?
