Wow! what an awesome link you have there. There are so many good pictures so get my creative mapping juices going! I hope to have some free time that I can spend creating new maps for the game soon.

I like this one:

seeing that Wooden support under the building, i decided to model one of my own. it was mostly just an exercise on using the Cut, Quickslice and Vertex Welding tools in 3DStudioMax. it looks simple, and in terms of modelling, it is, however, the tools arn't those i think a new modeller would think to use (or understand how to use, as is the case with vertex welding)

Parder, if you want, i can model a larger, more detailed version of this if you're going to be making a scene similar to that photo. im feeling generous tonight! haha

also, im thinking i might put together an Asset Portfolio Thread on here somewhere, so that people can dip in and download any assets i make. im fine with people using my stuff (unless i specify otherwise...)

Please do! In addition to your nicely done ladder, a variety of plant models would be a huge plus. Desert plants in particular would be my personal wish.

Yes, that would be an excellent model, too, a dead cow with a Gatling Gun on it's back. :lol:
