Vintage Moving Image of Victory Hall

Corporate Identity

Since years i thought about creating a corporate symbol for Her Dark Materials. Finally i asked for professional help.
Thanks to Mister Cleanslate of Steamweaver Printery i have 2 nice logos now i can paste on crates, machines, letterheads and web pages.

Victory Hall finished

Finally finished and inaugurated with a little party.

Roof

I wanted to have an opera house with an interesting roof.

Nah, no famous building in mind, not at all.

Look at Herr Wotan's winged helmet and the other example.

It could work as a vintage version of the sydn... an opera roof and stands as a metaphor for the classic stageplays that might have happened inside the building.

(later in the process I had to change the roof a bit, to avoid it extending into the neighbours house several meters)

Victory Hall Rebuilding

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.

Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)

In a weak moment i purchased the plot near my warehouse.

Its the Victory Hall lot in Babbage Palisade and i started to renovate the building a bit.

Tiffany´s "Education"

i found a nice stained glass window for my mansion behind a dirty blackout curtain in a classroom in Yale. it fits quite nicely

more mansion

now version 2 of the mansion endeavours. its set out in New Babbage Palisade to see how it works.

these chocolate blobs on top of the corners are gargoyles, made with PloppSL within 2 minutes. room to improve

The Lubezki Mansion

a decent steel baroness needs an appropriate home. it seems i have to run some tests to determine what i want and how it should look. i could do some sketching and constructing, but building straight away is much more fun.

version 1 to check windows and light

Mark IV

Here they come. I did add some grain and vintage-ness.

Purchasable soon.

Fear Naught!

The Real Stuff

While reverse-engineering the historical examples into steampunk vehicles, i got the impression that there is a demand and a lack of the original World War 1 tanks in second life.

Belhaven Brewery

and belhaven brewery in person

Brewery Sketches

after a while away, here i am again. inbetween the pile of project papers, there is some architecture waiting to show. the task was a building for events, looking like an old brewery.

one idea was to show opened copper kettles inside the room and represent them at the outside walls, too.

first some sketchup sketches

Famine

may i introduce:

HDM Airship No.1 "Famine"

i like to give solemn names...

this is a digester driven airship. propulsion and buoyancy are based upon methane.
More pictures are in my Flickr set

insights into R&D

while quite busy with some architecture i will offer my readers a rare and sensational insight into my research and development department. tadah!
more during the weekend...

"Windlass" Supply Winch

someone asked for an unarmed version for cross country riding fun. so i combined two historic exemplars, a winch version and a supply tank into the "Windlass" with some boxes on top, closed sponsons for storage, an upright boiler, a cable winch at the left side and a loose trailed cable. i will leave the TCS system in, so she would not be able to shoot, but can be shot at. for balancing i will make her a little faster, what results in a better climbing rate, too. that will provide a nice prey for interesting missions.
