Don't worry, I just tossed out a day's work because it didn't feel right.

I have gone absolutely nuts on mine.

Aleks · #44 Posted **Oct 17, 2009, 8:12 AM**

Lol! Can't wait to see. I'm still in the designing progress since my original design was basically too similar to another fantasy tower so I don't want people to be like, I didn't vote for this one cause it's too much of a copy.

Mocholate · #45 Posted **Oct 17, 2009, 9:33 AM**

Hmm, I have a similar predicament that I can't explain till it's over!

I don't even really think. I pretty much run in guns blazing. That is probably why I have to restart all the time.

I'm going real simple with my tower design... though I'm not sure if its gonna give me an edge... but I'm way more excited to see other people's designs... its what really makes these competitions fun...

Oh boy. My model is so complex I might even have to dumb some parts down. This kinda sucks. I wish google sketchup would run smoother.

Or mix the glass in with concrete:

It is November 15th. Yes, we have a month. Some of us are on awkward schedules so it is good that we have plenty of time.

toyota74 · #54 Posted **Oct 20, 2009, 5:45 PM**

agreed .always felt there wasnt
enough time.

Mocholate · #55 Posted **Oct 23, 2009, 8:28 AM**

1 month is good.
To be honest i don't like seeing some of the rush jobs in the past

Ok, what about three tethered elevators positoned on the Equator exactly equidistant to each otehr, and supporting a man-made Earth Ring around the height of the Clarck Orbit.

Do I Win?

The competition isn't for who can build the tallest tower. It's for who can build a tower over 819 meters tall AND make it look good.

Keep that in mind.

toyota74 · #59 Posted **Oct 23, 2009, 6:33 PM**

Ive done two attempts and failed,hard to make
something so tall to look good ,I may have to
go to the year 3000+

BoiseAirport · #60 Posted **Oct 24, 2009, 2:00 AM**

Woohoo, I've got the plan, the location, the design, the research...

Now all I need to do is build it.
