The base was originally built via contract awarded December 5, 1933; most of the buildings were complete by late 1934. Captain Howard B. Nurse, Construction Quartermaster, supervised the design and construction. He departed from traditional base design by rendering the buildings in the Spanish Eclectic (Spanish Revival) style then popular in California. Churrigueresque elements adorn the more important buildings. Reinforced concrete walls were covered in stucco to appear similar to earlier California missions; mission tile roofs topped the buildings. Recessed porches, cantilevered balconies, polychrome tile bands and wrought iron grillework complement the designs.
'Straight at me... slowly... right!
'Why are we this close to these large boulders and rocks? Shouldn't we build a bit further away?'
These rocks will be part of our base... We can build higher this way, and use those natural caves as well...'
'Them rocks look weird, regular, almost build!'
'Ah well, probably just basalt or something, you have those weird geometric rock patterns at some place on earth too...'

Today I can present you my newest creation: A Base on Rodia.
This time I really tried to make the base looking good in a architectural way, too.
Also I tried to improve my rockwork and my trees with new techniques.
I hope you like it! Please tell my what you don't like. Thanks!
Comments and favs are appreciated.
Of course I have a nice YouTube Video with closer looks,too.

Greetings,
Basing View is a 65-acre business park situated in the heart of Basingstoke, in the English county of Hampshire, is a short walk from the railway station and town centre.
Currently a programme of major redevelopment is transforming Basing View and opening up a wide choice of business space options for companies of all sizes. As the freeholder, the Basingstoke & Deane council is playing a key role in helping promote and stimulate new investment in the area and is committed to investing long term in Basing View.
Basing View is a first class destination for businesses, with a mix of new, planned and refurbished office space, a new business class hotel, a wide range of amenities and the convenience of a town centre location. Around 4,500 people currently work at the park and it is envisaged that the regeneration project has the potential to double the number over the next 15 years.
The business district is currently home to more than 180 national and international businesses as well as a growing SME community and a new state-of-the-art 5G Living Lab.
In the distance on the left is Fanum House which is the headquarters of the Automobile Association in Basingstoke. It is one of several current and former AA buildings named "Fanum House" around the country. The original headquarters in Leicester Square, London, was also called Fanum House, "Fanum" being the call sign of the AA.
Closer and to the right of Fanum House is Viewpoint, and closer and to the right of that is The Square.
The building in the foreground has since been demolished and is being replaced.

So, i did a bunch more sneaky stuff, to make this happen, to the point , i even had to delete the C button shortcut, to stop it glitching out and cloning everything multiple times, till it crashed 😅
Now you can see its purpose, also just ignore the green tiles that are leaching on the cabin 😧😧

I hope its apparent now, all the bits that led to this point from the other ships, certain parts made for some of the earlier ships, get recycled or upcycled and man, have i enjoyed this style and the original artists designs so much 😁😁
I endeavour to make better looking engines, as i continue to progress and as i look at more reference materials, cause its a confusing topic, they all look extremely different, also art can be vague in the more detailed areas and dark spots, so its hard to imagine what to fill in the blanks with and stay true to the rest of the design and avoid creating a mashup.
Ill get another angle or two and maybe try for a ship link up or two, if i can and then move on to the next one 😁
Anyways, i hope you enjoy as much as i do and have a great day 😁

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is also known as The Guitar Hotel due to its tower constructed to resemble a guitar, is a hotel and casino resort in Hollywood, Florida, United States, located on 100 acres (40 ha) of the Hollywood Reservation of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The property currently has one hotel tower, a 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) casino, a large poker room, a 4-acre (1.6 ha) lagoon-style pool facility with a center bar, and many private restaurants, shops, spa, cabanas, bars, and nightclubs, and the Hard Rock Event Center. A large expansion was completed in October 2019.
The resort currently has a 12-story "classic Hard Rock Hotel" with 469 guest rooms and suites. Guests are greeted by a 50-foot (15 m) tall signature Hard Rock guitar, (based on a famous Gibson electric guitar model) at the entrance of the hotel, along with a massive LED advertising screen at the front of the main parking garage. The resort has 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) of meeting space, including a 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) exhibit hall.
The Hard Rock's $1.5 billion property expansion project added a 450-foot (140 m) tower designed to appear as a guitar, with lights providing the imagery of guitar strings, and 638 rooms alongside a seven-story, 168-room "Oasis Tower" overlooking the pool cabanas— open on October 24, 2019, several months in advance of Super Bowl LIV being held in Miami on February 2, 2020. The expansion also included a 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) "Rock Spa", and over 20 new dining and nightlife destinations. Between the existing 12-story hotel, new Guitar Hotel, and new Oasis Tower, over 1,200 hotel rooms became available in October 2019.
On May 9, 2014, Seminole Chief Jim Billie announced a $100 million upgrade of the tribe's casinos, with much of that spent on the Hard Rock Hollywood location, including improved entryways, center pool bar, pool facility upgrades, updated hotel room, and suite interiors, and a new restaurant. As of March 2019, the tribe's upgrade budget was significantly increased to over $2.4 billion, split mainly between this location and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa.
The current casino layout covers over 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) featuring slot machines and various table games including blackjack, baccarat, mini-baccarat, Pai Gow poker, Let It Ride, and three-card poker. The casino does not have live craps and roulette, although there are electronic versions of those games available. As of June 2018, the poker room is located in a former ballroom area, relocated from its prior venue due to ongoing construction work.
Blackjack is the most popular card game in the United States and was an addition to the casino. In a deal valued at $1.1 billion, former Governor Charlie Crist gave the Seminole Tribe a license for blackjack in its casinos. In exchange, The Seminole Tribe loaned the State of Florida $1.1 billion over the course of two years. On July 3, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the governor's agreement was unconstitutional, but table games continue to operate because the Federal Department of the Interior approved the now-invalid pact with the state. The addition of blackjack to the Hard Rock casinos in Hollywood and Tampa gave credibility to its claim of being a major gambling destination.[
Hard Rock Live is a 7,000 seat multi-purpose theater, which opened on October 25, 2019, with a concert by Maroon 5. The theater replaced a 5,500 seat arena (razed in March 2018 as part of the property-wide expansion) of the same name, which hosted different types of events including musical acts, comedians, boxing, and other smaller events, along with a residency by Billy Joel. During construction of the new theater, events were held at the temporary 3,500 seat Hard Rock Event Center, which hosted acts including Britney Spears on her Piece of Me Tour.
The 69th edition of the Miss Universe competition was held on May 16, 2021, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino where Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa crowned her successor Andrea Meza of Mexico at the end of the event.
Model Anna Nicole Smith, who was staying at the resort, died in her hotel suite on February 8, 2007. An autopsy ruled her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose from prescription drugs.

A base from the classic engineers of Space - M-Tron !
This is my 8th build for the Iron Builder with Matthew De Lanoy.
The seed part is the Brick Round 2x2 Dome Bottom.
I told my wife at about 2pm in the afternoon that we’re going to have a great sunset tonight based on the clouds. At 5pm I got my gear and just started driving, in hunt for something interesting to accompany the sunset.
I have a problem with authority. Well, it’s not all authority, it’s the authority of those who 1. have little but think they have a lot, and 2. have it and abuse it. Obtaining this photo I ran into someone with #3. someone who didn’t appear to have any authority, but layed it on pretty thick.
Just down the road is Pt. Mugu Naval Air Weapons Station. A Navy base. Via public road, they have this display of retired Naval military air power, F-14 Tomcat, F-4, some missles, etc. (photo courtesy of driko. So you can just drive up here from the highway, park in the parking spaces provided and look at these jets and weapons.
You better not try to photograph them..
Literally within SECONDS of me pulling out my tripod, a dark brown piece-of-crap car, all beat up and making faulty noises pulls up diagonal right next to me. I think nothing of it as the mid-20s Hispanic man wearing a white undershirt and some baggy jeans gets out. I’m still getting my camera ready on my tripod.
Whats you doin bro??
Just shooting these jets at sunset.
Can’t do that
Why not, I accessed this point via public property and those guys over there were just photographing them too. There’s no signs anywhere that says you can’t take pictures
You’re on govt. property can’t shoot the flight line
And just who the hell are you? (now I’m getting pissed – random dude telling me I can’t take pictures)
I work on base and you’re on govt. property and you’re not allowed to shoot them
Do you have any military ID on you or a badge or something?
I don’t have to show you any ID
Then you’re not going to stop me taking pictures. I have about 10 minutes of sunset left.
So, I walk around him and start clicking off exposures. He jumps on his cell phone and starts talking:
White male, beanie cap, mid 20s (which I should have thanked him for), driving a silver Honda accord, California plate “XTRAMED” (I wish), being very hostile, etc
So he’s calling someone on me. That’s fine. I’m not going to lose this sunset. There really wasn’t much else to shoot here, so I start putting my gear back in my trunk.
Where you going bro? How come you getting out of here so fast?
I only have about 10 more minutes of this good light left and then the sunset is over. I’m hoping to find a barn or abandoned tractor or something around here.
Well I just called the MPs (military police) and they’re going to be here in a couple minutes
That’s fine, I’ll be shooting something else by then.
At this point, he’s standing directly behind my car as I start it. I notice he’s not moving, so I get out, this time, a bit more pissed.
You going to run me over bro?
If you don’t move, I’ll move you. (now feeling what it’s like to have both German & Irish blood in me)
I don’t have to move, I can stand wherever I want bro, it’s a free country
I also have a problem with anger management
This is where I was just about to formulate my next statement which would in an ideal world would have been something thought-out, creative and recited with a 1960s Clint Eastwood voice, “You’re about to see what my knuckles taste like, punk!”, but I wasn’t given the chance as the base Military Police showed up.
So the police shows up and he narks on me that I was being uncooperative and still took the photos, etc. And I told him yes, I entered this spot via public road and took these photos that several people have photographed over the years. The officer describes to me that technically I’m on govt property and photographing these planes in this direction is also photographing the base’s air strip (flight line) and the base commanding officer does not allow it. I told him that there were no signs that said this and unless otherwise stated, I can take photos anywhere I want via public property (which was about 10ft behind me). He understood and was calm about it. I even showed him my photos and he said I could keep them since I wasn’t using a 400mm lens to try and photograph some top secret stuff. But that other dude got away without me getting his information.
I’m generally a nice guy. I’m 99% happy most of the time. But don’t piss me off, cause I will go Chuck Norris on you.
I took the pieces from the Arctic sets and built a base out of them - check out the full build on The Brick Blogger!
