We had been posting updates to our Inferno HQ separately and it was suggested that they might be easier to follow in a single thread.  We agreed, so we're making this new post to consolidate everything into a single location.  Each post/update will be started with its own heading showing the date. We've just cut and pasted the existing posts into this thread and eliminated the repetitive links to our pages on Flickr & MOC-Pages.  Please click away if you'd like to see more of any particular update but as this continues to grow we'll leave those out as they're right here at the top if you need them.   As always, we certainly appreciate you checking in on our progress and invite any comments and thoughts you may have.  Enjoy!

FIRST POST - 7 APR 2016

Godwins Hollow (our LEGO City) was originally started strictly as background for the ongoing struggle between the Agents and Inferno's henchmen. Over the many years that we've been working on our city we always pushed the actual Agent's HQ and Inferno HQ aside in favor of further fleshing out the city itself. However, after years of fiddling with it in LDD and a handful of proofs of concepts we have finally started building the Inferno HQ. We've started with the lowest level and hope to eventually have fully developed floors underneath the mountain and a partially transformable castle/attack post on top of the mountain. This is still in the VERY early stages but there are places to park the mechs and the hover jeeps. The interior of this hangar bay will be a mix of interior rock facing and more standard 'hangar bay' walls. Anyways, just wanted to throw this out here.

UPDATE 5 - 15 MAY 2017

So this has been a REALLY long-term project of ours but we're finally making some progress.  Godwins Hollow was originally conceived as the place that the LEGO Agents would defend from the menacing henchmen of INFERNO!  All respectable evil-doers need a secret lair and this is the start of theirs!  Once it's completed we're hoping to have two full levels underneath the mountain, trap doors revealing weapon systems, launch bays, and all of the other despicable stuff an Inferno HQ should have.  Once you scroll thru the pics below you'll be able to see we've made some significant progress on the base level both inside and out.  The main hover jeep garage, mountain exit, and repair bay are all in place.  There is a personnel elevator to take you to the command center and eventually on to the next underground level, and two mech bays for the Inferno mechs.  So please take a look at what we've done so far and feel free to leave any feedback you'd like.  Enjoy!

UPDATE 6 - 21 MAY 2017

Our Inferno HQ is still moving along.  The ground level to the mountain base is almost finished and we've moved on to one of the key areas of the second level - the hoverjet launch pad.  The face of the mountain will open up to allow the launch pad to extend outside of the main bay area so the hoverjets can launch and be retrieved.  There is a small control deck immediately adjacent to the launch pad and the hover jets themselves are stored vertically on automated transport drones.

UPDATE 7 - 26 MAY 2017

Today's update is a little proof of concept for the transforming towers that will make up the castle ruin on top of Inferno HQ's mountain.  This is our first castle build of any kind and while we are pleased with the result it may be fiddled with before the castle is finalized.  As you can see the tower conceals the Inferno cannon which could easily hold Godwins Hollow ransom if the Agents don't keep things in check.  Again, thanks for taking a look and your thoughts and comments are welcome.

This is looking amazing! The rockwork looks great. The cannon inside the castle tower looks magnificent! Can't wait to see more of this, I'm astonished! *oh2*

Oh what a huuuge building!  It's cool that photo report is so detailed, there's lot of intresting mini-scenes! Keep posting it, please!

 I like that big snone gates and overall brutal look of it, it reminds me old Unreal Tournament game that I played it schoolyears. Are that gliders from official lego sets or it is your invention too?

Thanks for all the positive comments.  As more bricks arrive and new sections are added we'll continue to update the thread.  @Marishka - the hoverjets are from set 8635 (LEGO Agents Mobile Command Center).  They've been modded VERY slightly to make use of parts that are more plentiful in my collection.  The Inferno Hornet is one of our MOCs tho.  It is a single seat, VTOL, attack pod and you can see some of them lined up in front of the HQ here:
