Copper Top Palace

So here's my Landmark of Landmark contest entry #1.  Copper Top Palace is named for...yup the copper all over it.  I almost did this all up in copper, but it didn't look good.  As is it took a ton of copper and stone.  I can't imagine how much copper it would have needed all on it's own!

First thing's first.  Here's a map.  Remember what I said!  Follow the red line EXACTLY how it shows!  make sure you harvesting EVERYTHING on the way there.  Clear out all those trees!

Serenity - Lavatube (-623.60, 1086.60, -1210.00)  Northwest-ish of the spires.

 

So this thing is MASSIVE!  The one I did in Alpha was a nice sized castle because most of it was underground.  But this thing turns out HUGE.  I actually had another floor on the bottom but I took it out.

 

 

I had some trouble trying to figure out the stairs with the 50 voxel base requirement  so I asked my spouse for a little bit of help.  He played in Alpha and really didn't do much because of school and work.  But he's out for the semester so he was able to lend a hand.  He ended up fixing a couple of things and adding stuff without me asking.  Woosh!

 

 

Upper, Atrium Level.  Originally there was going to be a 5th tower in the middle that connected all the others, but I decided to do something simpler to hopefully make the Palace seem a bit less massive.  I don't think it worked but I like this better.

 

Very top of the tower which I think is really cool.

 

 

And it's got a nice view.

 

 

So after you go up the stairs there's another set of stairs that lead down.  You go down there and there's a huge room.  Here's some stuff that's in it.  I didn't take a shot of the whole room.  There's plently of more pictures to look at below.

 

First we have the giant flower planter.  There's a lot more smaller ones throughout the Palace.  I my friend Thrist fill them with flowers.  She's not comfortable building but LOVES harvesting and I wanted her to get some credit on the Landmark competition.  I hope adding props works.

 

This would probably look better done in micro-voxels or anti-voxels and such.  I could have put handles on the cabinets.  But I didn't.  I used regular old voxels.  It's Ikea furniture. 

 

So this is my Kitchen-bar.



 

There's a sink with 'water' (cobalt) too.

 

More Ikea furniture!  Yes all built in just plain old voxels.  The coffee table was originally built in Alpha.  Of course when I placed it the only bit that actually showed was the middle bit.  It was ruby back then.  So I had to rebuild it.  Which wasn't hard to do.

 

The palace has many secrets...make sure you look for things out of place.  You might just find something.

 

 

Naptime yet?

 

Whoever lives here also paints stained glass windows.

 

So here's some stairs.  You go up these and turn.  You'll find a door with some more stairs and a door that goes to another room!

 

The spouse decided we needed a chessboard.  We did not make chess pieces as the board is meant for players to be the pieces.

 

So after going up even more stairs you'll finally make it to the Atrium. 

 

Ikea bench.

 

Hmm...

 

 

Let's see if you can find this!

 

That's all you get.  Ryder out!  Goodbye!
