UHU02 Tokyo Tower

[Revell-Fan]

Speaking of the lights:

UHU02 has added another level to the building.

AAAAND - the first parts! It seems that he really intends to tackle it!

This is a "small" preview of the staircase located in the middle of the tower. I see LOTS OF CUTTING involved here. Curious to know if everything will be stable enough...

And another render to calm down our nerves:

To be continued..!

The build will be interesting to see.

The "Staircase" in the center will give the model much support. If you cut it out, you will have to build a box in the center to give it some rigidity. I don't think it's meant to be cut out though.

I suppose in this case "RED" does not mean "to be cut out" because the main colour of the model is ... well ... RED.

The latest update:

Another beauty shot:

UHU has begun design work of the building at the foot of the tower:

The tower itself is almost complete:

A few impressions of the real thing:

if you leave the center solid, it'd hide all the wires for the led's... just a thought..

UHU02 is testing the first textures for the building:

According to Google translator he has found some new reference material which leads to a complete revision of the whole tower (the first one had wrong dimensions and proportions). The master sees it positively because that gives him the opportunity to improve certain structures and to add some of the parts which had been missing so far, such as a cooling tower on the roof.

I think this tower is beautiful. The silhouette against the sky is just plain awesome!!

ATTENTION - ATTENTION: TOKYO TOWER BUILDING IS FINISHED ...

... but ... what's that???

MOTHRA LARVA IS ATTACKING!!!! :nailbiting: :nailbiting: :nailbiting:

IN 3D!!!

(To those who are unfamiliar with this kind of stereoscopic vision: These are so-called cross-eyed 3D pictures. To view them cross your eyes so that your left eye is focusing the right image and your right eye is focusing the left image. You will notice an overlapping third image appearing in the middle of your viewing field. Slowly move your eyes toward this center image until it gets sharp and enjoy Mothra Larva attacking the Tokyo Tower. )

@uhu02 : Many cheers for good work, UHUsan!!! The cross-eye 3D renders are soooo awesome!!! I did the same with my last model but I used 2 D images and different layers in Gimp:
