Hello everybody! I have been working on a build lately on my ATFclan.eu server. As you may or may not have noticed , it has been there for quite a while. I worked on it for quite a while too. I had a small 2 week pause , but under the appreciation of Sleven , I decided to go on. And now we get this as a result. I hope all of you can like it , expecially the members in [C]. I am not some idiot asking you not to reply if you do not like it. But please , do not say something like "It is bad". At the very least add a reason to your opinion.

Well , all the chatter might annoy a few under us , so I should go ahead and deposit some pictures in the field below:

I could go on for a few ages , but I'll stop here , both to save myself and you guys some rendering problems.
If you really want to see it at it's best , come and visit the "ATFclan.eu's Preparing a build" server , wich will remain up for a while. Now , if anyone evin cares in the slightest , I'll post a small story describing the origin of this build , a few small credits and some notations.

The origin
The origin of this build lays quite deeply really. It came from all the time back when Iban was still active. He used to host his "ZAPT snow" server. I played it. I was amazed. How fun could those zombies be! So I went to my own server , and started constructing a snowy ZAPT too. It all came down well , but it was about a month or 3 ago. 2 months later , after I expanded it a bit and hosted it a bit , I tougth "I can do better , this sucks , sort of..." So I asked my friends. What should I make? Summer ZAPT? Or spring surroundings? No. They came up with a brilliant idea. A construction zapt. I immediately saw it's potential , and started erecting a red I-beam column. And then I won a server at an ATFclan.eu contest. I immediately put this up on it , and started working away. The whole build is built around that one building with it's red I-beam. I had a passion for trains too. So I figured I'd add a few corridors as well. And now it is as it is , ready for me to host.



Notes
A few notes to ass to this build:
-I did not originally intend it to be a [C] application , since I tought they only did houses. Lordy Lord and Sleven enlightend me about the clan. I saw a reason to push on.

-It is multi-use:
ZAPT - versus
TDM - CTF
TDM - KOTH
TDM - Plain
DM - Free for all

Please be aware that the high detail center you see is the playable area. The areas around it are cosmetic , apart from the rocket silo.


Credits
Of course , I am aware that a clan application is meant to be built by me , not someone else.
But I am not the kind of person that just lies and does not credit his friends.
So , I did a major part , and I will honestly tell to you what the credited users did".
-Cancel: Vital construction props such as pellets and flaming barrels , good company and entertainment
-Kittey: Just good company and entertainment
-Redoctober2009: A miniscule amount of props
-Treynolds: A fancy gay purple stripe
-Sleven: Biggest moral and motivation booster ever. He deserves a cookie , right away.

Please keep in mind that if you look at the build , everything in it is made by me. All I did is add props from outside of the build made by some of the above people.

The clan
I have been in a few clans. I did not use to be a very big clan person. I have joined BAN , but it turned out to be more of a prestige clan , and we never really did anything together. I left in an assholic way tough...
However I joined UGN , and that is a very nice clan that does stuff together , I'd like to build something else than a spaceship on an occasion. So now I ask to the members of the [C] clan , to judge my capabilities.

If you think BAN was boring, C will kill you.


But I love the build. Good work.


More isn't always better.

I second this.

It's too cluttered, and looks messy, not detailed.

Still above most of the other junk we see in the gallery, but all the same...

If you think BAN was boring, C will kill you.
So, uh. Whens the last time BAN did a build together? Oh, and you building a ship then giving credit to BAN doesn't count, just so you know. And those silly community builds where everyone comes and builds something doesn't really count either.

Well, TheArmyGuy, you've built some quite cool stuff here. I really like the train cars, and trains you've made. I also love the crane, looks great. The only thing that's slightly unappealing are the cars. It might just be me, but from the second photo, the front hood and front in general looks a little odd.

If I didn't lag so horribly at this amount of bricks, I would love to try out the build in action.

So, it's a yes from me.  And don't give Sleven any sweets! He's on a very strict diet.

EDIT: I don't really know how you build, other then what I see here. Can I see some other things you've built sometime soon?

Thank you for the positive vote.
And yes , I have a slight weakness for cars. I only made 2 and recolored the cars , because I dislike making them.

I have gathered a small amount of gallery builds by me.
I do not know wich one is wich , all I know is that the mansion is not really good.

Well I've reviewed those, and I'm not 100% pleased. This build, however, shows me you're making exceptional progress.

I don't know where the other votes are going to fall, this app is borderline. Good luck, though.

That is probably because I made actual plans for this. This is also a new gallery thread in quite a while.

Thats great, exelent work



I remember seeing you work on this. I loved the weather effects. :D
When will you be hosting this?

needs moar detail

Are you daft? For this sort of build, I find the amount of detail very suitable. I find the overall look of the build very pleasing, and while the detail is a bit varying, the diversity and the use of colours is spot on. I love the train sets, I love the burning tires, I love the cranes. On top of that, you seem like a good guy, that would suit C very well.

Yes from Az.
