Thanks for posting these pics, this is an awesome setup.
Did you build it completely from scratch or what?

Yep, I built a mould for the resin wall sections. All other pieces are from my bits box. I bought a lot of model kits the last 30 years.
Also a lot of pieces from german suprise eggs are included.

WOW Heiko you have just totally blown me away, i remember the basic walls and a couple of pieces of the interior from last years German painters con you normally hold when you took a few unexpected sneak pics of my Ventilator.
The ultra fine detail is simply amazeing several of the interior pieces are just fantasic and im about to ask were you got a particular item from and i hope your not going to say from inside a suprise chocolate egg, because with my luck id have to buy and eat about 100 eggs, gain about 60lbs just to find one.
Mainly the 4th photo from the bottom, has that the lorry lift infront of the two mechs in there bays, id love to get a few of these for my own factory/industrial complex can you remember were you got them from?

cheers zac

He wouldn't be the only one from the responses. Good thing I was near the bathroom when I saw this!

I've seen a version of this previously, but the new pics take it up a notch. Looks excellent and would be a great change of pace to play in.
Sigh. Yet another idea for a project I have no time for.

Really nice. Turn loose a lance or so of light mechs in there and you could chew up alot of opposition.

Joker, I would really like to see a detailed how-to make something like this. I'm just starting off with miniature modeling and I'm looking to learn as much as I can. I'd love to be able to make a piece like this for my gaming table. Any pointers / advice / info on how you built the basic building would be awesome!

For over 30 years I build model kits and have a large bits box from unused parts. I bought some extra 1/300 ship kits and HO building kits for this projekt.
All wall sections were build from plastic sheets and bits.
To save time and money, I build a mould of this wall sections an make resin copys.
You see, very easy.
