OK, so the Free Radical Collective is a device to get some of the STC's that have been languishing in development hell for months [years]. Essentially I've not ironed out the kinks in the template and they don't always include the whistles and bells, like the foam capping strips [good luck capping all the interior arches!]. Anyway this Cathedral Tower hasn't been touched in over a year so I thought I'd just release it because it's been a while since I released anything at all.

One thing of note is that because of the size of the plan it's actually based on a SRA3 paper size (320 x 450mm). This was another reason for delaying it's release, dealing with the unusual paper size. So when it comes to printing it out you have a number of options - print to fit an A3 Page, so it'll be fractionally smaller than it should be and fractionally different scale to previous templates but the easiest option. Find somewhere where you can get SRA3 printing, not ideal I know. Or lastly print to tiles on A4 and recombine them together, probably the simplest option but maybe requires a bit of fiddling. Anyway be warned, but you knew the Free Radical Collective were dodgy anyways!

Meanwhile I've actually been working on a Manufactorum/Warehouse and an Inquisitorial building that will potentially come in three parts that will allow you to create one building and then add extra bits to expand it to create a structure two or three times as big as the original. Of course those have stalled too but there's been some progress at least. 

Anyway, perhaps now it has been released I may see a version of it that'll encourage me to finish my own off...

  1. Can't wait to see the new stuff. I've been trying to build some terrain for a few killzone games with my brother and enjoy the heck out of your STCs since my creativity is at best paint by numbers.

    1. Thanks bottomfeeder, the Inquisatorial Vault/Reformatory/Bastille will have it's day. Coincidentally I was watching RED recently and noticed it had a similar aesthetic as the Original Headquarters Building of the CIA. Unfortunately the inset windows are the delaying aspect of this design.

    1. Thanks Dale, I look forward to seeing your efforts. Maybe I'll get round to completing my own building although I've plenty of terrain at the moment and the wife probably doesn't want me filling the house with more. Also I've tons of other stuff to do...

    1. I can always count on you to pull out the stops ;) I'd recommend plenty of new blades, the arches won't tolerate anything but the sharpest scalpels without it looking butchered.

  4. I'm loving the STCs - I just put together my first ruin using your kit and I see many more on the horizon. Not confident or ambitious enough to try this one, yet. But I have plenty of foamboard, so we'll see. Thank you!

    1. Well I built my way up to this so the more you build the chances are you'll have the skills to do it when you get the motivation. Good luck.
