Welcome to Chesterton Station...

Welcome to Chesterton Station, my airship platform.

I've got the propellors going, so they won't make me remove the build (the covenant says that floaty things have to have some explanation for why they float, hence propellors).

I still need to make:
a) an elevator
b) lights (it's hard to see at night)
c) mechanicals (in the undercarriage to power the propellors. For now I hope no one notices they're just kinda there.)
d) details details details.

In the undercarriage...

I've completely abandoned the concept of a brownstone. I just wasn't feeling it. After all, what was I going to do with it when it was done? And it was so... plain... Still, it felt like a real piece of a city. Just not my piece. What you see here is the undercarriage of my new idea. This one I'm liking better. It needs *lots* of work. I'll take another in-progress shot this evening when I finish the "plausible explanations."

We are not pleased.

The brownstone is coming along, but I'm starting to get that feeling, the one that says I could do better. I think it's because the brownstone is just so... normal... And boring. Part of the problem is that i'm in the "Cultural/Residential" district as opposed to the "Commercial/Residential" or "Industrial" districts. And I'm just drawing a blank. I think I need to think a bit. And try not to just delete the thing.

Proportions...

Draft two of my brownstone. I'm liking this one... Take a look at the teenie door. That door is properly sized, in that it is about eight feet tall (just under three meters.) The space between floors is a decadent eighteen feet. Not unheard of... It just looks so strange. Such a wee little door.

At the New Babbage Town Hall meeting...

We have urchins and everything.
