Heh, when I ade the template I didn't allow for any margin of error on the seat section and I found in about 2/3rds of them the folds (even when on the lines) left the seat section fractionally too small... so I enlarged the seats dimensions slightly, did a few more tests and it works fine now.

Anyhew, terrain update... again without pics... sorry guys... what can I say... im lazy...

I've gotten the interior walls and furnishings done for the 1st level bunk, I have also nearly finished the rocky terrain outside the main enterance, just need to finish one half of one wall and paint it.

Im just deciding on how to split the bunks for lv2 now as the rooms are smaller and squarer its not as easy as I thought to come up with a decent floor plan that looks realistic and allows enough room to move minis about.

Once thats done all I need to do is get the holding tanks done for the main lab, get the infirmiary done and then its just the directors office and chambers to do and it'll be done (except for the aquaduct, but im still contemplating the best way to build that).

Photo time... really should have taken these earlier, when it was lighter, I had to use the flash on my camera so some of the pictures may not be very clear... apologies.

I've gone through and taken overhead pictures of all the rooms in my vault (all rooms now complete baring a few items of furniture and a few decals/doors).

Main Vault enterance:

Garage and Repair bay:
Posted Image

Armoury:
Posted Image
I need to add the decal for the elevator doors to the wall behind the desk, next to the small handgun case.

Holding cell:
Posted Image

Utility control:
Posted Image
In the space behing the large water tank there will be an enterance to the aquaduct.

Storage:
Posted Image

Level 1 Dorm:
Posted Image

Security Checkpoint:
Posted Image
I need to add the elevator doors decal to the wall next to the console.

Rest room:
Posted Image

Main lab:
Posted Image
I'm going to add in either one large holding tank or 2 or 3 smaller holding tanks in the empty half of the room using clear plasticard.

Directors office:
Posted Image
I have a few more items of furniture to add to this room, including a gun case, a couple of chairs and anything else that takes my fancy.

Directors dorm:
Posted Image
Again a few moe items of furniture to add... im also considering adding in 1 or 2 interior walls to break the room up a bit.

Medical bay:
Posted Image
The beds are only tempory until I can find a decent template for a surgical bed (or make one, if I can be bothered), im also considering adding in some interior walls around each bed (2 chambers in total) using the clear plasticard to make them into isolation chambers.

Level 2 dorm 1:
Posted Image

Level 2 dorm 2:

And lastly a couple of shots of the complete vault system:

i'll probally keep the clean look for the second level, but I may mess up the enterance area a little with dirt and mud from outside.

One of the nice things about the OC website is it shows you the length of the vehicles.

Yes there is that... but I prefer to actually have them to hand before doing and modifications that could restrict access. Thtas also why I don't have the main doors on the vault enterance yet, even tough i've got the decals ready...

well its only been 4 working days since I made my order (including today, and parcle post doesn't arrive this early) the 21 days looks to be the usual 'saftey net' that businesses use to stop people from making dumb ass claims against them for 'slow delivery'.

I expect they have a turn around of a week, give or take a couple days.

Had a spot of bad luck with one of my vault sections... the rocky enterance way warped (probally due to having about a dozen textured layers on it... im going to try to flatten it out, but if that fails I may have to either scrap that idea or find another way of doing it...

How did you do the rocky entranceway? We might be able to provide alternate options to get it accomplished. I thought of a couple of ways just typing this...
