Ravelino Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Tall Black Tower WIP by Jip Kempers, on Flickr So yesterday I started uploading my latest WIP Project to its own Flickr Album I decided to upload every day or two depending how fast it progresses to get some feedback and tips while I build instead of having to alter a thousand things in the end. Which’ll probably still occur lol! I also decided to make a little guessing game of what it will be and to spice it up a bit I upped the ante by asking what the full title of the finalized project will be. (I have it in my head since brick one) Winner will get a nice memento once the project is finished, and the rules are in the descriptions of today’s upload and if you don’t have a Flickr account you can send me a pm here or on the LowLug forum. C&c welcome, wanted, needed! Edited April 18, 2020 by Ravelino Adding picture Quote
Wesley D Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 A bridge and a tall black tower, just like the Wolfpack Tower! Quote

Don't know Wesley, but A: that's not a full title, and B: Only guesses in the flickr comments or in pm (personal message so not a topic reply) will be approved and counted for the prize. This topic is intended mainly for feedback and criticism, sooo...I just unlocked the pictures of the second storey!!! Tower Module WIP by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Tell me what you think people! Anything about the build itself so far? Things you would do differently? It needs some foliage and I'm really still struggling between panels and brick-built. Edited April 19, 2020 by Ravelino Quote
Ravelino Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I uploaded a few pictures, this time some more detailed shots of the top level. Check it out now! Edited April 21, 2020 by Ravelino Quote
Ravelino Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Released some pictures of the entire tower as it is: Tower WIP by Jip Kempers, on Flickr More pictures can be found on my Flickr Album Edited April 23, 2020 by Ravelino wrong picture Quote
Ravelino Posted April 27, 2020 Author Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Noticed I haven’t done an update in a while, so here’s a few new pics! Wip 4 by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Haven’t progressed much on this module as I too often find myself in doubt about what to do and/or searching for the right elements. I am currently in the middle of sorting my collection so I lack the time(and space) to take proper photography precautions. I used to have an “organised chaos” not unlike some of you might have had in the past but 5 bl orders and 20 big sets later I realised it might not work so well anymore. I did get to mess around with some old and new furniture... Edited April 27, 2020 by Ravelino Quote
Ravelino Posted May 5, 2020 Author Posted May 5, 2020 I see that I missed out on a few updates here.. So after a few nights cursing and searching I’ve decided to stop working “on the fly”. Big Wip Layout by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Even though I’m spending roughly 80% of my Lego time on sorting, my collection is still too chaotic to keep building for more than a few minutes before I get stuck because I couldn’t find enough of the next element, switch the game plan and replay the loop. Big Tower WIP by Jip Kempers, on Flickr I got tired of this and so, after adding a few cheese slopes, I decided to leave my bricks alone except for sorting and some smaller projects, and mainly focus on the design for now. Wip 2 by Jip Kempers, on Flickr I roughly know what I have in stock (I have more elements that I don’t know of than elements I know of and do not have so that’s a plus) so it’s possible for me to continue working in LDD/Studio. bigwipstudio by Jip Kempers, on Flickr I do not consider it the same, though. I’ll never get used to not having bricks in my hands while testing out new connections, but (at the moment) a much speedier development process for the rough sketches. Quote
Ravelino Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 I gotta be more attentive of this thread lol... Most of you will have seen these wander around on Flickr but as a formality I'll add them to this post as well. You can scroll down for the latest updates Big WIP Bridge Studio Render by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Gatehouse/Keep Module WIP Studio by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Big Mystery WIP Studio 18/05/2020 Bley by Jip Kempers, on Flickr Sooo.. Today I haven't been able to do much work on Studio so I decided to break down the tower as I've gotten more and more disturbed by the gaps. Also I still wasn't completely satisfied with the silhouette of the Wolf. So after taking in some of the advice I'd received here and there (more modularity=less destruction to change things, close the gaps, lose the wooden floor) I broke it down and started anew. The result is slightly bigger(it used to be 12x14 it is now 20x20 but unintenionally the dimensions work out much better for the Wolf Silhouette and the fact that the back can be taken off now.
