Just when I thought your conversion can't be more awesome than it already is, you are going to push the WOW level even higher! Fantastic!!!

And so the story continues...

Actually, today I would want to show you all something that has taken a considerable amount of thinking and trying. And to be honnest, I’m quite proud of the results.

What I was missing from the original streets of Himmelveil was a way to put 2 walls onto each other, without a tile in between them. This is exactly what I needed for Catherdae noctis off course, some kind of connector to put 2 walls on top of each other. So, here it is:





You can slip the connectors into the top of the posts, like this:









Notice how there are straight ends on some connectors (for straight walls) and slanted ones (for corners)

And on the top, you can put a new post onto the connector:





Now, these are really tight. They are supposed to be, because I wanted teh 2nd floor to be very rigid, but maybe I should get these through to Denny first, to see if maybe it is too tight for him.

Next are the walls:





As you can see, you can lift out the second floor like this, while leaving the walls without floor tiles in place:









Oh yeah, I made some props as well. It was nice to just print a PDF and build it, without having to put it through photoshop first for a change

And here are some shots of the entire cathedral so far:









Next up is the roofs. And the little embellishments off course. Slowly, I’m getting to the end of the tunnel

Genius on the wall extension connectors! Glad to hear you can just lift off the second floor; that's key when gaming.

Great minds think alike.
We thought alike.
Therefor we must have great minds!
(I have a weakness for undistributed middle fallacies. )

The wall connectors look like a handy dandy idea, and one that I would love to see incorporated into official TLX sets.

And you are not working for WWG why?
Seriously, Denny, this guy's got talent!
Nothing funny, I just like talent.

I can't help but notice... are you working in a white, padded, room ?

Ditto! Impressive!

Seconded!

Hehehh
Yep, I am. My entire office is white. White walls, white floors, white furniture,...
And as I’m working on Mac, my computer, mouse and keyboard are also mainly white. It even took me some time finding white telephones to go along with the rest

To quote Yaz (or Yazoo, depending on where you are):
The walls are white
And in the night
The room is lit
By electric light...

This explains SOOO much LOL

Outstanding stuff as always Menace!

The double height wall connectors are a great inclusion. We didn't have a use for them in the original foray of releases but they certainly work well here. Once people understand how they can be applied we can probably go back and release a little booster for previous sets if the demand is there.

Love the progress, love how things are turning out

P.S.

Please check your private message system.

*EDIT* I meant Menace...not Morganm...foggy brain day.

I really like the riser/wall conectors I wanted something like that for a something I was working, In the end just put a floor in, but that would have worked out just as well. I really like that bit.

I also want to do this with the Industrial set. I think I could do that now that I've seen how you're doing it on here.
I need a modular warehousing system for my Gotham City Build.

Obviously, you mean this explains the great mind The Auld Grump has credited me having?

That... and that he's secretly jealous that he doesn't have a Mac, too.
::: pets my MacBook lovingly :::

It all makes sense now... Mac mice only have one button on them so that you can operate it with a straight jacket on while in your white, padded, rooms

He's figured it out!

Unfortunately, I believe that means that he must now be eliminated... or converted.

Me? I have a lower limit on mice. If it doesn't have at least 4 buttons plus a clickable scroll wheel, it doesn't meet my standards.

Really - try to play a FPS with anything less.

Yes, Apple mice come with one (or less) button. But, I do have a couple of Logitech multi-button optical mice that I use for gaming.

Congrats Menace on your 'promotion' from pleb to conversion lacky

If the things you've created here are any indication of what's to come of official conversions than there are some great things on the horizon!

So menace you own Cathedrae Noctis: REQUIEM so us folks us who want a less evil place can get one... , I mean compaired to the work you did here that should be a cake walk.

Hold the phone!

Yes, off course I would love to make requiem, but please, let me finish the evil version first. Maybe you hadn’t noticed, but the thing is still missing something essential like, say, a roof.

And given the fact that at the moment, the props are the only bits of the original set that I haven’t had to convert, I think cake walk might be bit optimistic.

Congratulations on your promotion!

You've gone from Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher to... um... Ensign Ro? Ensign Tom Paris? Ensign Nog? Oh, well.. you get the idea.

Way to go!

Pfff, if it ain't rainin', what dja need a roof for? And if it is rainin', ain't no one goin' up there to put one up anyway.

Congrats on your promotion!

It is so good to know your work will be made available ... very soon I hope.
And may you make many, many more set conversions for TLX.
Are we still going to be able to see your projects as you convert them, or will you be doing it all behind the scene now? I sure have enjoyed seeing
this conversion step by step. Its like a manual of how to put it all together.

That's completely up to menace and his schedule. I personally don't have a problem with it if he has time to continue to share. Its a great process to watch and it also verifies just how much work is actually involved with conversions.

I'll certainly buy this conversion; it's just what I thought the set needed for more stability. Fabulous work.

Nice avatar, menace!

Heh, thanks.
I must say it was a surprise for me to see this picture resurfacing. It’s from an old Khorne Army I once sold on e-Bay. And as is the custom on the internet, everything comes back to haunt you one day

Suffice to say I was very, VERY surprised to see Denny had found this somewhere hanging around and made it into an avatar for me.
