Hello guys 'n gals.. first of all can I just say how gobsmacked I am at some of the comments I've read not only in the last few days but the last 80 days. Alot of ppl have asked me why I built this.. I simply don't know what triggered it. Unfortunately I couldn't make any of the NPC's standing around cuz they're just too small on this scale. During the first weeks I was playing with the idea of doing the sandy S version but decided to go with present.. althought neither versions have a portcullis on the main archway I thought that wud be a nice touch. I'm known for my patience in my LS so this thing was no problem lol. As for other projects, yes I will be doing more but not before Xmas. I've already scouted Basty and Windy.. even Jeuno. Whitegate is a no go area lol. One thing i'm really interested in doing is a model airship and was thinking of somehow asking SE for plans but see how things go. Again, I wanna say ty all for your comments! {Thank You}
I'd be willing to bet if you sent photos of this model to SE and asked for help with airship they would be "on board" (pun intended)

Either that, or they'd send a cease and desist letter for "stealing" their concept art.
Would something like this help at all? It is a papercraft model of the Airship, based on the furnishing if I understand it correctly. I am thinking this is the same one that had been on ffxidats before the site closure, but I don't recall for sure. In either case, while it may not be too helpful, it may be ^^; It has the form and such for download... Idk how you did all of the planning for yours but I think this was pretty much taken from the .dat and extrapolated to be usable from a 2D surface (in this case, paper!) assuming of course this is the same one as I'd once seen before.
That is increadable! I bet you could make the entire FFXI world if you wanted. Of course that would take a lot of time and a good bit of money for suplies. You're workmanship is absolutly increadable.

Cool, that's a pretty neat paper airship.
I'm sure I'd manage with most of the planning from within the game but a birdseye view would make things a lil easier seeing there is no 'map' while riding the airship other than the route it takes. As for the sandy model I decided to scale the entire thing from the square paving stones on the ground 15mm X 15mm and using the lines on the floor as reference for alot of the surrounding walls and other things such as the tents, trees, width of the choco tunnels etc. The height of all the structures was pure guess work so using the scale of the pavings I worked out the height of the stones in the main walls as 8mm and the AH stones 6mm (yes they are different). On an interesting side note I'd like to point out the carved statues on the archwway are not mirror images of each other in South Sandy.. as they are in North Sandy.
Thanks for the link to that airship :)
Question: Windy Woods or Windy Walls?, I can't make my mind up but Walls would be a massive undertaking. I'll go along with the most votes. plz msg me with walls or woods.

Heaven's Tower would be so sick, you have to do it!

Walls, it could be a dynamis theme. :D
then bastok mines!! ho ho ho!
Great job btw man, even my wife who doesn't like FFXI. Knows what sandy south looks like, and she was incredibly impressed, and liked it.
This deserves some official recognition from SE.
Amazing job man, truly impressive and timeless.
hmm, that would scare me.
Could be good or bad, but in the sense of being part of their artwork contests and getting free prizes, it can't be that bad.
Most ***-ups from SE tend to be related to their games.
You may have noticed this from our top rated screenshots but just in case anyone didn't know I wanted to show this piece of art.
Asura.Warpy made a scale model of Victory Square including the AH, which is my favorite part :). Check out some pics below and there is also a video that includes work in progress pics and a tour of the finished product. You can also find more pics on his profile page.
