Infinity Terrain
Platform has a friend
Since I got over the roadblock that was the staircase I went ahead and finished the second platform for the landing control tower.
I started by 3D printing the sides I had the platform top and bottom laser cut already. The issue I had was I need to somehow assemble this onto painted components. Yet keep it separate for painting.
I don’t this my making an assembly but somehow managed to make it quite accurate to fit after painting without snapping anything.
So I have my assembly. I primed this in black and then done a zenith filled again sanded and then primed again.
After this I went about painting. I wanted this to still be old but I wanted this to be newer than the other platform. This should have evolved and parts and spares brought in. I decided to try and make the paint slightly brighter. I don’t know if this will come out especially in pictures.
I left a peg at the bottom of the assembly and put plugs at the bottom of the platform as before to guide it into position.
I did need to use a hammer at a point as everything was too tight when glue was added but this brute force method seemed to work. Drying superglue waits for no man.
After everything was in place apart from relief I started to feel excitement.
This is extremely difficult to photograph I may need to get this onto a table to photograph properly.
My plans have changed, well the timings have. I want to get this table ready so I my miss off the vehicles for now and revisit this.
I want to move onto a new project but still have things to learn here and want to get this done.
I still have 2 more levels to do not including satellite dishes. A gangway to get dross the platforms more crates and storage to give hard cover.
Much more to come.
I like the spiral stair design. Looking at it done it seem obvious that that’s how it should be made. =)
Can you fit a Hi-miniature in it?
As this was made for infinity I will be treating it as a ladder. I can fit an infinity model into the staircase but it wont take a base. I think to comfortably fit a base in there would mean it would be massive with each trend 2.5x in size with more spacers. This was a trade off from yet another over scaled staircase that models can fit on which I do but like to avoid. Glad you like it but I do t think I will be doing loads in the future with over 120 pieces in just the… Read more »
