Re: It's Alive. Alive!
-----------------------------------
This is a (very) rough outline for the layout of the lab.  Please note that this is just the prototype for the main gantry and creation chamber.  There will also be massive electrical generators and such stuff. on the bottom level (and obviously a room to house the whole furshlugginer mess in...)

I think the creation chamber would come up from the ground floor on a hydraulic pedastal.  The assembly table, main generators and workshop would also be at ground level.

On the gantry ring itself would be a control panel to control the generators during the final creation phase... I'm assuming the lab can do both organic and inorganic Creation!

From under the main stairway would swing up a bridge to cross from the gantry to the booth while it was still elevated if need be.

Things I'm aware of that definitely need to be modelled include guard rails for the gantry and the booth, proper steps, control panels, nice thick power cables for the three generator pylons, a room to hold all this in, the hydraulic lift well... but it's heading towards winter Down Under so it's not as if I don't have the free time in the evenings coming up!

My only real concerm is getting enough detail without going nuts on the polygon count.  Everything will be broken down into individual componets for ease of UV mapping.

Once (if...) finished, I'll be placing it for upload here as a freebie for all wannabe Victor Frankensteins... (or Morbius's, Rottwangs, Dr Cyclops's or Strangeloves...)

I'll start proper modelling from the booth, and work my way outwards.  Each piece will be uploaded for crash-testing to destruction...!  Any and all comments, suggestions, criticisms are welcome.
