    I was thinking something in the vein that the one on the Seraphim island allows to pick a destination, while the one in the abbey only serves as a target/receiver, without the ability to use it to teleport elsewhere. Sort of a precaution measure to prevent others from misusing it.

    If you know Stargate, then the one on the island would be a gate with a DHD device and the one in the abbey just a gate.

    What a cool and awesome idea that you have there. I like it. I like it alot and yes I know of Stargate very well, I have seen the original movie, SG1 every season of it, Stargate Atlantis, every season of that, and finally every season of Stargate Universe as well.:JC_gimmefive:

    zombies -> Wiedergänger

    Ever since stoneage people feared that the death would walk (gänger) again (wieder). A Hünengrab (sort of Dolmen) translates as grave of a giant. They put real big stone blocks above the grave to prevent the death to walk again. In coming times people forgot the reason for the stone blocks and thought it would be graves for giants. The nearest Hünengrab was just 3 kilometres away from me, but trees were growing through it and pushed the stones to the side. In northern germany plain land some remained undamaged.

    Wiedergänger. Well now, that's a word no one gets to see or use everyday. You have me stumpped on that one Chattius.:bow:

    There are a couple more un-openable lootables in the game, but I can't remember their locations off the top of my head right now. I think those were mostly an oversight. I don't really think it could be remains of something the original developers ultimately decided to not implement, but anything's possible

    As for what the thing might be, it is definitely a Seraphim construction. There is a part of it in the underground of the Abbey in the Seraphim Valley, where the Abbess is:

    Could very well be a teleporter receiving platform. Would have been cool if the platform on the Seraphim Island led here, which would actually lend credence to the claims of the sisters there which say they are waiting for the Seraphims' return. Can't really remember right now if I've seen this in other places... It ultimately ended up as just a decoration. Or maybe it's intentional to indicate that the Seraphim could use it at any time and make the Abbey sisters really happy, but they don't really care :angel: Most of them are rather condescending anyway, so would fit their modus operandi :D

    You beat me to the punch. I was going to share this location too, as this is the only other place with a closed off gate similar to the one that I have posted.Unfortunately there is nothing behinde this particular gate, unless you mean that the Seraphim just simply teleport just infront of it? That is indeed a possability, one that I had not considered until you mentioned it, so thank you for that. Well now, that is one less screen capture for me now to use, but that's okay. I still like the idea that particualr portal that I mentioned and showed to be a possible time portal that could take a palyer back in time to the same Island, but with all of the structures etc. all in tact. Or like I have said, it could be a gateway to the hoe world of the dragons themselves. More about that theory in a much later post. For now, thanks for the mention and your ideas too. They are greatly appreciated.

    Well, Miss Amy, I didn't mean for you to get the impression that there was already a discussion of aforementioned boat in the thread which I hyperlinked. It was more of an invitation to look at some of the posts there, as they seemed to become more interesting page after page, much as I expect to occur with your thread. So, have fun with both, as you will!

    :hooyaah:

    Why thank you kind Sir. Sorry, silly me thought that there was, but I now get why you sent me the link and I thank you for that. I did not know that it existed. I'll keep my post here. I am going to work on doing part 2 asap and you will be happy to know that there will be a few more parts to follow with lots of interesting interpritations for you and everyone else too. I hope that you look foward to them as I do in making them.

    8-Track (double-tracking) -> Quality

    they were cutting edge!

    :D

     

    gogo

    Yes they were indeed, most cassattee players were of exeptional quality I liked and loved the staker decks most, the ones with a 6  band graphic equalizer or above, a record player, dolby noise reduction, etc. Those were the good old days of recording things onto C90 tapes. *Good times*

  6. Free Class -> Public School

    R.thumb.jpg.8232f0f182f730d2db435577b4205fb9.jpg

    Public School

    Personally I never went to one, I attended a Special School for chidlren with learning disabilities. To my surprise, it is no longer standing, the school itself was not so bad, but some, though not all, of the teachers were not so good, but we made do with what we had. It wasn't all bad despite a few bad things that happened there. I have some very good fond memories of the school, which was called Gibfield Scpecial School in the town of Colne, that is next door to the Southwest border just next to the North West of England, Lancashire.

    Our school put on yearly plays as well as the Nativity at every Christmas time, we had a most wonderful music teacher and a fine good woodwork teacher too, we also were privilleged enough to be able to go out on school trips and even Sir Boby Charlton of football fame was kind and good enough to persent our shcool, with our special minivan/school bus.

    Shes actually an old friend I met from her husband at work a few years go. Both of them are voracious readers and the have two rooms packed-full  of book :drool:

She also has hundreds of lp's...and once a week she "facebook dj's  two or three albums with a cool phono while talking about what each record meant to her, the quality of the singing and her night at the band performance is she was lucky enough to have made it

    I find im taken by your image of the book case because I was such a HUGE and voracious reader as a kid.  What an affordable way to ride the space lanes, fight swashbuckling pirates and meet people from all over history.  My collection of books ballooned...and I committed a criminal act by jettissoning the majority of them away when doing a house "refresh" years ago...alas... 

    And now, for example, when I see friends' book cases crammed NOT just with books...but their experiences, memories and famous "met" personages.. it evokes such nostalgia... 

    See what your glorious 3d project has released for me... a wonderful consideration of memories and indulgence

    :)

    What a lovely book case Gogo and I am so very happy that I could help bring back happy memories for you. I love the cuddly toys on top of the book case. Please may I ask who they belong to? I'm curious, I have a small collection of cuddly toys too, they help with my mental illness.

    I love the work! What else but a distinct collection of books can instantly draw in the eye when walking into a new room or visiting some new place.  The coverings, number of books, and detail are all remarkable.  This reminds me of an old school offer in print magazines where you could order the "worlds best 100 books" ...or something like that ..could it have been readers digest? All the book were classics, and supposed printed on something called acid-free "milled" paper... ( ah, see how the memory is pulling all that out :bounce: " ... 

    Its my favorite model you've made, what an indulgence thank you for the gift

    :gogo:

    Wow! What a compliment, why thank you Gogo, you made me blush. *Smiles* Thank you for saying that the number of books and detail to be remarkable, that means a lot to me. You Could be right, I know of Readers Digest, just about, but I forget now what it was all about other than being a Prize Draw thing and a magazine, but I think it did cover doing books, as best as I can recall. Funny things are memories. I am glad that you like my model so much, its one of my most detailed models to date with each and every single book being in 3D, now you know how and why it took me a whole week to finish it, but that does not also include weeks and a few months trying to get the 3D books aspect of the model to work properly. I managed in the end of course on my 8th attempt of trying to do the whole book case. So it was by no means an easy feat to pull off, truly so. And that's not ego, I can assure you.

    PS. The detail of the book spines, I can't and wont take credit for, all credit there goes to Bing Image Search, where I found the images for the book spines, I wanted as many different book spines as possible, all different sizes too. Though I did make sure to pick what I felt were the best set of book spine images from what was on offer at the image search website, some of which did not work, so I had to replace those ones that did work. Suffice as to say, the process of making sure that all of the book spines in the images are actually straight, which was vital to the whole creation apsect of making each and every book spine into a 3D book.
