12-5-06 Email from Sparky: "I spoke with Larry last night and we reviewed the idea for the mech bay in the side of the mountain. My idea originally was not to have any green vegetation which Larry has been steering clear of since the last gundum mobile suit project. Think Roswell area 51 diorama, seen at BOH and other places. Or think Valley of the God's, where Airwolf's hide out was. For reference I mentioned a big warhammer gaming base I'd found researching foam cutters. It all in a photo bucket account: http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b152/orcdom/Mining%20Colony/?start=140 Start on page 8 if this doesn't link right to there, then work your way pack to see the build up. I mentioned to Larry that those big GGRUs I have, the one that was used int he Death Star port, also work great as cooling towers, for the mech bay's reactors. Add in some defense towers notched into the New Mexico style Rock face with some camo netting over the top, and you got a real nice farming of the mech bays. I also mentioned the storage bunkers I use to see on the way to school out in Fresno. The Air National guard base had these simple storage bunkers that looked like the corrugate metal doors set into the trapezoid cement face, the sides and top were simply lose back filled gravel. I suspect these are good at stopping car bombs and RPGs. But also if the ordinance inside goes, the gravel helps suppress escaping shrapnel. Keep these ideas in mind. Roswell-the-ends-well" |
