BAT Log - St Pancras Station

St Pancras Station

Its about time i really made my mark on the BAT so i have gone mad and decided to undertake Londons St Pancras Station. St Pancras is a wonder of Gothic Revival Architecture and a true victorian marvell. Heres my attempt.

I am starting with St Pancras Chambers, or put simply, the clock tower.

Ill stay updated with my progress on this difficult project, wish me luck everyone

Already, you've done better than I'd ever be able to. I support your insane quest .

[GingerBlokey 30]

Insane, totally mad. Im talking about you btw.

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Update

Still working on the Chambers, it looks more like a church than mainline rail station at the moment.

wow nice work ILL, lookin forward to see more

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Update

I hope to get the clock tower done soon, from the clock tower i should be able to clone large parts of the model for the hotel, i believe they are the same, if not i will have to model them seperate (no worries) but heres the update.

Looking good. Nice start

[Hordijk 18]

You really have something with stations tonks, and nice work so far keep it up!

[Eastwinn 6]

It is starting to seem to me that this is not as an insane challenge as you said it was.

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Update

Insane it is lol, the poly count is allready at 52k with no way of decreasing it. And i have only completed just under half of the hotel. The engine shed will have to be BATted seperate and placed as a prop )if i can get the lights to work on props).

This is amazing, I think you are still insane but insane with purpose.

[Eastwinn 6]

From what I see in chat, I predict this being done around January. abye by then I will feel like playing SC4.

Looks pretty good! As usual I'll suggest working more on the textures and giving them some grit.

[BarbyW 40]

I'll have to keep an eye on this one, Tonksie. I used to work there many moons ago but you won't see my office as it faced the platforms

Looking promising so far.

go to the new entrance on the side there is a building operisite that has a lot of information on the station plus a model of the international station.

hope it helps

 

Have a happy christmas

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Thanx for the suggestion but i dont live in london

[sharkbait16 0]

Wow beautiful, you've done an amazing job so far

[ianpaschal 77]

That looks great tonks.  I'm doing a project of simmilar style, and id suggest trying to make not every window the same, but still looks great!

[Alexzero77 3]

You should spend less time on these stations and more time WORKING ON THAT CANALSIDE MILLS MALL? You got some nice textures on it? Maybe a climax of some sort??

[KCtheDestroyer 14]

 

 

 Can't wait to get my sims comuting through!! GoGO Ill-Tonkso!

 

Scipio: But what do you mean by not all the windows the same? I think it looks great if the windows look alike. Of course what's behind it should be different. Or was that what you ment?

 

Grtz.

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Update

Heres an update on what i did last night, the far left end is mainly cloned from the rest at this point, this will have to be changed though to fit the real building. The cureved roof is also a temporary job, i will remodel it properly later on.

That station looks extremely beautiful! I really like its design, theres something about the style which looks brilliant!

Great work ILL Tonkso, you're a genius!
