Fort Silica

[tankxsy]

Olaa,

I thought let's use this FMB for once
the thing that I am going to build is a sand base, details below.

The base is 141x141, and is mostly made of sand and dirt. It has 6 layers with 68 towers, +/- 40 sleeping quarters.
Since I have been blond, deleted the singleplayer world ''-,-, I only have my scatches and some screenshots to show..

Before I forget, credits of the name goes to WECole who invented the name Fort Silica.
WECole thanks <3

Today and yesterday I was busy looking for the perfect place to put this lovely build.
I also build the first two platforms, without the trees, towers etc. just two squares on top of each other.
I have no idea what more I can say, so here is a screenshot of it

Yeej, I finally finished the other two and final two platform rings

Next thing is the four corners with an open grass space and walls and towers etc..
Time will tell when my next upload will be though.

Special thanks to:

[tankxsy]

I forgot to make the last platform.. :A

So here is the fifth platform/circle

Thanks mk, although I am the worst builder ever <3
But I don't care, I love it

These screenshots are from two days ago, but I had some technical difficulties so I'm posting them now :3

Almost half of the inside walls from the sleeping questers are done. The dirt with the torches on them are the ones that are finished. I'm only talking about the walls, not the rooms themselves It took a hack lot of sand, but then you have something =^.^=

Look at the height... Like OmGoodies

And of course from the inside

Special thanks to :3

[tankxsy]

It looks like every time I post in here, I have less to say than before..
I guess enjoy de la pictures :3


Same as before, the dirt with a torch on top of it shows where I am with the inside rooms/walls. I started on the bottom right and I am now on the middle left.

Look at my beautifull ~ cough ~ walls..

And the unchanged signs of my thanks.

"worst builder ever"
pffffffft!!!!
so untrue, your builds have unique and wonderful character and i like them.

 

[tankxsy]

Although it is still true, I am glad that you like them :3
Thanks mk

Same thing as before.

The upper view, dirt with a torch on top means that that wall is formed and completed :3
The whole square ring thingy is filled, which means I am done with the inner walls
Yeej, The easiest part is done Yeej!

Some screenshots from the inside

Look at the beautiful inside view, OmGoodies :3

Next stop are the four square towers on each corner of the giant square..
Whoohoo more sand work

~ Huggs

 

[tankxsy]

Started with the hardest tower. Which means I have to dig out a mountain.. :l
Process is slow, too slow. But I don't mind, I've got all the time in the world to finish this :3

And now the screen shot session

Before all the damage to the mountain was done..

And of course, where I am right now :3

It doesn't look much I know. Still it keeps me busy

[tankxsy]

The beginning of the outside towers..
Only the outlining, but yeah //0.o//

Olaa again,

Almost two months have past since my last Follow My Build post.
There has happened a lot the last couple of weeks, privately and on MCA. But I am still building, still trying to finish this thing before taking my own path.

I have been working on the four giant corner towers. The outlines are filled in, a path is created and the walls are done :3
I'm now working on the center squares. They still need a path, some sort of double guard fence, trees, flowers and more nature things, the middle church/meeting point and of course all the towers.

I'm trying to get this final project done in +/- 2 months, don't think I can do it.
But try and maybe I will succeed..

Time for some pictures :3

Olaa again,

After a month without really building and posting screenshot in here, I thought lets do it again
So I made all the walls complete, finished the 'walking' path and I started on the smaller towers.
Those dahm towers are a pain in the ... There are so many towers :')
I don't know what else to say, so screenshot time

Sight from above:
You can see the paths, made with double stone slabs. Some trees are planted. I choose the oak trees, because they are different and sometimes it seems like they don't fit in well I like those trees :3 You can also see the beginning of some towers.

Sort of side screenshot:

A close up :

Special thanks to!:
Donations are still more than welcome. The thing next that is very needed is red wool. Alot of red wool :3

[tankxsy]

After a very long night, I finally got the rooftops of the towers done!
I would like to thank dph and alien12 for all the red wool, I know it is alot.

I am so so glad to have the outside of them done! You have no idea how horrible it is to do the same thing every single time.. ''-,-

Next stop will be the underground scenery, the tunnel from the outside towers to the middle part and I hope to get a start on the church who will be in the middle of it.
I'm going to put the secrets in last, just for the fun of it.

Don't know what to say next so.. Screenshots time :3

Top view:
See the red hats, just look at them! My goodness! Feel my pain!

Side view:
It does have something, doesn't it?

And yet again the special thanks to signs:
Can't do it without them!

Olaa people,

I know I haven't been online, active etc lately. It all has it's reasons, so I thought let's try to continue!

Let's start at the beginning:

The middle tower/statue/thingy has been created and drenched in water :3
And ofcourse there is a cake in the middle!

Some grass and flowers are added. Shiny colours and amazing decorations, atleast that is my opinion

And something I have been working on for three weeks in singleplayer..
A sparkly star, which can guide your way in the dark. It is almost a glow in the dark star, only this one is not hanging from your ceiling

And if one isn't good enough, I made 2. With the idea to put a star or sun on every outside wall, which are 8 in total.
But someone came with the perfect idea to also put them on the inside walls.. 16 in total.. 0.o
I'm still thinking about it, but I think it will be a no xD

The special thanks to is almost the same:
There are two new donors! jennythegreat and Emmii. Thanks girls :3

Olaa people,

A little update of what I have done until now. It hasn't been much, but atleast it is something

An outside glance

A quick inside look

And ofcourse a little peek inside the walls itself, a sweet path to walk besides the water

I hope you guys like it.
If you have any advice on changing anything. Please tell me ingame or by /mail send tankxsy [Advise].

A special thanks to Dph and Jenny for giving me the glass!

Hopefully see you guys soon! <3
