Renders of the interior of the Tower using 3DS max 7

Here are some the renders from the digital model i made of the interior of the tower.

As you can see i have tried to make it as realistic as possible.

Below you can see that the construction of the legs is nearly complete and the bows have been put in place.

Here you see the upper part of the tower have been sanded drilled and glued together ready to be attached to the tower legs and bow.

Below you can see that i have sanded and filled the tower legs attached the bows and top part of the tower and even started threading the lighting system through the tower to make sure it will fit.

below you can see that I have started fitting some of the detail to the front of Gunwharf

Below is the oyu can see the tower with the spire and painted white. This is the point I got to at the time of the deadline. I was very annoyed with myself for not finishing it in time.

Construction photos cont..

Here is the construction of the base of the tower with the leg holes cut. I have also spent time finishing the surrounding buildings on the baseboard.

Here you can see i have made the roof of Gunwharf and one of the Balconies. I made the the roof using acrylic cut certain widths and then sanded at a 35 degree angle and glued together. This process worked well. I previously tried to cut the roof out of on soild piece of MDF, this however didn't work very well.

Below are the tower legs cast, ready to be sanded and drilled.

Below is the construction of the harbour building to the side of the tower. To build this I used mainly MDF with a little styrene for the canopy.

Here is the cladding for the harbour building using 1mm acrylic and laser etched detail. I then heat bent them to the shape of the building using the vacuum formers.

Construction photos of tower

Here you can that I have made the base using MDF and also the contours for the base of the tower.

I made the pontoon out of 6mm clear acrylic using the laser cutter to etch the detail on aswell.

Found construction pics of the Tower

I was able to find these photos of the tower being constructed. Having looked at them again it was constructed in a very similar way to the way I constructed my model of the Tower. Building the base first, the legs in sections, building the bows and ribs and finally placing the spire on the top.
