Hey guys, I'm looking for donations for a very big iron project. I posted a pic below. The older ECC players will recognize what I'm building, and I wouldn't be surprised if the younger ones do either. I need 50 more stacks of iron blocks to get it to completion. I've placed 27 stacks thus far in the buildings, and have another 27 stacks in a chest at the building site. Finished the buildings will be 104 and 102 blocks high, with roughly 25 stories. @AdmiralD donated the land, as well as all of the iron for this project thus far. I would go so far as to say this will be my masterpiece on EcoCityCraft. Pm me, reply to the thread, or mail me if you'd like to donate. The town won't be available for people to live in upon completion, it will be just for show and for buying and selling Minecraft materials (hint for what the buildings are). A quick search for anything jbertig should give everyone an idea on the finished quality of this project. Thanks for reading, jbertig View attachment 1059
This is a beautiful build in progress - here are a couple of aerial views. JB is an awesome builder and I love his attention to detail!
I am selling some spare iron at Station 39, it's $7.60 each. I currently sell in groups of 16 ingots and as individual blocks at the front of my shop. I know you're seeking donations, but if you're willing to spend a bit, I can help ya
Ah, ok! Good to hear that you'll have enough, looks great already. Still can't recognize it though. :/
Thanks for the interest @SuburbSomeone, yes I finished the iron work on Friday if I remember right. You will recognize it if you think hard enough Mods, Since the original purpose of this ad has been filled, can this thread be transferred to the pictures section of the threads for future updates? jbert
Yeah, it's the World Trade Center from 1973-2001. It's at 1/4 scale. The smaller buildings seem to be a bit off for scale, but they aren't too far.
@Vunthorghini No there's no warp yet. If you have tp, send me a tp request and I'll accept it! The complex is still under construction at the moment.
Here's a big progress update for those of you tracking the rise of ECC's 1/4 scale World Trade Center! The last couple of days I've been able to put in the underground levels beneath the Plaza as well as the Plaza ground itself. Today I got 3 World Trade Center up to its roof, no more buildings will be built unless I decide to do 7 World Trade Center, I haven't decided on that one yet. View attachment 1066 Looking up from near 5 World Trade Center View attachment 1069 I love how my builds look when I use columns and beams to try to imitate support structures, it really drives up build costs but they look real! The space is a hoarder's dream too, the sub-Plaza levels each are about 75x75 with 4 levels, not to mentioned the combined 50 stories' worth of 15x15s in 1 and 2 World Trade Center. View attachment 1067 1 World Trade Center's ground level from 4 World Trade Center View attachment 1068 These are the night effects I'm pretty well known for. I put an American Flag banner on the central column of each tower's Plaza face. This thing is really starting to come alive. I case you're wondering, which most of you I'm sure are, the iron in the towers alone is worth a Tycoon rank. Special thanks to @AdmiralD and @Ladyvamptress for their donations! I haven't been keeping track of the volume of stone, but it is at least 10-12 double chests worth, if not more, again, thanks to them!
They look amazing. Such a talent! I can't wait to see the finished product. As always, I'm happy to help where I can and am happy this project is coming together nicely. Need anything let me know.
