Landing Construct

This project is a good opportunity to build some different buildings. I got inspired to take a break from foam and build a vertipad. 

The aim is to build something which has the functional look of a landing platform and is a structure in its own right. 

I cut the main platform from foamcore and panelled it with plasticard tile.

I added height using support struts from the Mantic Battlezones range and gave the top a metal mesh look using crochet mesh, pva’d into place.

I then added walls between the struts to create the structure.

I wanted to add a lift to move between the platform and the ground level, so I raided the mantic bits I had and built the frame of a lift from 4 support pillars, with paper clips glued to the inner bar. I then took a door and added magnets to the 4 corners using L bracket connectors.

The last step was to build a stairwell… honestly I don’t know why but I really wanted to do this bit!

 

Painting is currently underway so more to follow
