Imagine this baby in 15mm. Wouldn't that be cool? But in what context would it fit best, SF or Fantasy?

either…

McWong7319 Nov 2014 12:15 a.m. PST

Bit of a Miyazaki circa Nausicaa feel to it, so both!

53Punisher19 Nov 2014 12:18 a.m. PST

I agree, definitely both.

Twoball Cane19 Nov 2014 3:07 a.m. PST

Isn't that master yoda's summer residence?

As the majority to date. Both.

It looks a bit like a Planet of the apes building to me, if something like this was made it would go really well with the planned Planet of the apes adobes and court yard that The Scene was planning to produce a few years ago.

Mute Bystander19 Nov 2014 5:09 a.m. PST

Both.

Luke, I'm shutting the power dow….oh, wait….

TK 42119 Nov 2014 6:30 a.m. PST

That's a badass crib! It has somewhat of a Planet of the Apes (original) flavor to it with a bit of the Flintstones.

Yep … could work either way ! I like It !!!! Some model company needs to make it in 6mm or 15mm !

Personal logo Condotta Supporting Member of TMP19 Nov 2014 8:50 a.m. PST

Agree, both. Hope the builder factored the Pacific Ring of Fire effect into his design.

Both!

That kind of reminds me of the house at the Wisconsin Dells that's made entirely of expanding foam:

Zeelow19 Nov 2014 10:36 a.m. PST

Both.

Richard Gaulding19 Nov 2014 10:44 a.m. PST

Wasn't the adobe house in an episode or 20 or Star Trek (any given series)?

Mr Canuck19 Nov 2014 11:28 a.m. PST

Another vote for Planet of the Apes, but I think it could work in either Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

kidbananas19 Nov 2014 12:56 p.m. PST

Looks like a Quar structure to me. Like a city hall or shopping mall type of structure.

deflatermouse19 Nov 2014 2:05 p.m. PST

I would also use them for both but, going against the current I'd also use them in Modern West Africa.
Maybe even build a city of them.
Such as

or 19th century.

Tatoonie!?
Both!!

Either i would say.

Looks like it was made from cheese and has partially melted in the sun.

StarfuryXL519 Nov 2014 10:41 p.m. PST

Are you sure it's not from R'lyeh? I can swear it's looking at me.

Lol.

Now that you mention it, no matter where I go, the eyes seem to follow my every move!

I'm surprised someone made it in 1:1

chironex22 Nov 2014 8:44 a.m. PST

It could go either way. If you can justify an alien or futuristic society building like that, do so. If you have a fantasy setting into which it fits better, do that. The difference is you.

chironex22 Nov 2014 8:45 a.m. PST

Of course, if it's a real place, you could just as well use it for moderns.
