Info:
After running into a few snags my HL2 citadel build was halted. Well, I have a new PC and I am able to host for my helpers.
Being that I can now do that I am starting back up the citadel build and am looking for workers because my last workers quit on me.

This build is suppose to be a replica of the Citadel from Half Life 2, I have seen quite a few builds replicating things from Half Life 2, however no one ever made a citadel.
I took it into my hands, started building the citadel and with the help of a few others the citadel got to the point it is now at.

Current brickcount: Over 100k!

Well, enough talking, on to pictures!


Bridge into the citadel:

Alternate Entrance:

Looking up into the sky:

Mid panels closed:

Mid panels open:

Side view (to show its not paper thin)

Roof:

Top down:

Breens Office (with Breen!):

Core:


Combine train:

The missing half of the train:

Conveyor belt area:

Control room 1:

Control room 2:

Bridge into core control room (to turn on the pulse part)

Core control room + vents:

Combine Charging:

More to come as I think of more ideas. Feel free to suggest more.

After running out of things we can really add we began to dig into the beta files:
Manhack Arcade (A little sloppy)

Parts:

Air Exchange:

Trash/Waste incineration room:

Hospital:

Support piston things(Climbable):

Factory:

Ship bay:

Stalkerafication room:


More info
The citadel consist of moving parts as well.
-The panels open as shown above
-The core ball actually 'pulses'

I use custom sounds and loops for ambiance and to make it feel more like the citadel as well, so if I ever host it to the public you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO download sounds or you won't hear it.

BUILDERS NEEDED: Please post if you would like to help. To help you have to:
-Have seen the Citadel in HL2 so you know what its like.
-Actually build based off the City 17 citadel, not the City 8 ones like the Garry's Mod modders made.. One of my builders did that and set me back for a bit.
-Know how to build.
-Work nicely with others.
-Have the ability to actually listen when hes asked to stop.

You may rate current progress.



I've noticed some people asking for some sort of Half Life 2 RP thing, if someone makes the gamemode than I'll gladly donate my build to it. HOWEVER if I am to do that than a portion of City 17 will have to be built around the citadel, which will require even more builders. Builders are in great demand right now, if you wish to help send me a PM, add me to Steam, or add me to RTB.

Thank you. As soon as I get more people I'll be able to get more done.



huh
that is way taller than I thought it'd be
Yep.


I need someone who can make the thing on the left side of the tower (referencing the picture quoted above me)

Ooh, i'm glad this is back.

I wish I could help again somehow, but sadly i'm not that good of a builder.

Plus just in time, i've been studying the HL2 Beta recently.

As long as you aren't a butt ugly builder than you can help. Message me on Steam if you're on and I'll show you something.

Bump, still looking for builders. Also, please read the bottom of the OP.

You should have used some larger bricks for the main build, but it looks to be too late. It looks like most of the bricks are coming from the 12x1x5s that make up most of the walls. Using much larger bricks would have cut that brickcount down by tens of thousands. Also, all those lines make it look weird, unless that's kind of how it looks in-game (I've never played it).

I don't know if you're trying to stick with default bricks, but w/e.

Besides that, it looks quite nice so far.

I'm sticking with mostly defaults, we are currently working on placing some wedge bricks on it, one of my builders found a way to make it look good with them.
Also the 12x2x5s are used to help give its shape.
