So another DGM, this time it's the Clock Tower. As with all the other DGMs I've posted on (see this page for links to the posts:
Buildings), the layers technology in the pdf files from DGM gives a whole world of variations for this building.
Note: I use Foxit as my pdf viewer of choice, but I've had problems when attempting to print layers with it, so use Adobe Reader to print DGM files)Once more the
hurtful critic valued interior designer Van Fampi is appearing in the photos to give a sense of scale and add his own comments. I went for the 'red brick' option on the outside of the tower, and this time, have cut out both the single door and the windows that I chose to put on the tower (with the layers you can have different windows and doors in different positions). Also, I printed the clock itself a couple of times and mounted it on a piece of board to give it a 3D appearance, but I'm not sure how well it comes across in the pic:

As you can see, I put a ruler in the pic to show the height of the tower.
I also 'bashed' the build a bit. As you will be aware if you've read the other DGM posts I've done, you will know that the DGM models have no interior detail supplied with them. However, for 2 reasons, I added some at the top of the tower:
- It made such a perfect sniper/lookout spot I felt I had to
- Van Fampi threatened me with physical violence ...
So you see I had to. Anyway, this next pic shows what I added. I put in a floor with a trapdoor and papered the walls with interior detail from Worldworks Games' Mayhem Apartment set: The pic also shows - just how I did the clock:
I do like this build, but I'm really not sure how I will use it. As it is, it is quite top-heavy (especially with a figure in that room!), which means the slightest touch of an arm during a game will send it over. The model does come with a small 'foot print' - which would definitely help - but I have not attached it yet, as it would prevent placing the tower next to a building - something I'm considering.
Anyway, I'll post again on the tower if I have a brainwave and devise a solution!
