[Constructor Model] A tower too far

So ... what do you do on a lazy Sunday morning ... when it's raining outside ... and you have been sick with fever, coughing until you puke and a nose that seem to have revered back to when you where 1.5 years old?
You model a tower!
the idea behind this tower is that you have two of them on a "Capture the Flag" map, one for each team.
Oh ... and the small speck of pixels to the right of the tower is the boombot.
I'm pretty pleased with how it ended up ... though I'm not really done yet .. and I have added some "balcony's" above the floor for the flag.
At the beginning I was considering just using the textures from the barricade demo. But as the tower started to take shape I figured ... hey ... this might actually be of some use for people. I figured someone else might be able to make some kick ass textures. And using the textures that GG have made didn't feel right if it's something that people might use in commercial products.
If anyone feels up for taking a beat at the tower just post a note below or drop me a mail ( Evanion at Snowpeak.se). I would love to see any of your previous work as well.
If we work well ... I would be interested in ma by collaborating on a content pack. I'm a decent modeler... and can produce decent web graphics ... but for some reasons I can't make the most basic textures.
Oh .. and I plan to release the tower to the public for free once it's complete.

That is a really cool design. I'd love to see it when you are finished.

Hmm I can't get the plus exporters that comes with constructor to work... anyone know where I can download updated once?

well... I ended up starting to texture it with the barricade textures any way ... can always retexture it later. how much time I will be able to spend on it during the week remains to be seen ... but should have a first pass within a few days.Hmm I can't get the plus exporters that comes with constructor to work... anyone know where I can download updated once?
