After long and hard days of designing, gathering, and building the Paxan Clock Tower it is now complete.
The Clock Tower Project had started on November 2nd, 2018 when Thanius and I started messing around with ideas to "hide" the tgen in Pax because, tgens aren't symmetrical. After a messing around a bit we made the Clock Tower's base.
Naturally, the next step for us was figuring out if we wanted to properly scale the clock tower or just make it a MASSIVE world height tower. Basically, the base had to be a certain size so you are actually able to walk comfortably inside the clock tower, so the clock tower in the end became the world height monstrosity we all came to love getting terracotta for. To be fair originally it wasn't world height maybe 30-40 blocks shy of it, but after changing up the tower roof a bit it became world height.
So with a bit of world edit we had a basic shape for the clock tower, after some insane amounts of detailing we ended up with this as a result.
Little bit of world edit helped us make the sides all symmetrical.
Leaving us with the clock face, which being completely honest took the longest, we tore out the detailing 6+ times between Than and I disagreeing pretty much block by block. In the end it worked out in our final clock face design.
Apparently i'm missing some of the roof evolution's for the Clock Tower but, doesn't really matter I guess.
Are there things i'm a bit irked about with the design sure, would I change it now, NOT IN A BILLION YEARS. Either way, its something nice to see, and adds just one more thing to the Ice Taiga.
Here are some final notes about it though:
Clock Tower Design Start: November 2nd, 2018
Clock Tower Design End: November 23rd, 2018
Clock Tower Construction Start: November 27th 2018
Clock Tower Construction Finish: December 12th, 2018 at 6:51pm EST
Special Thanks
Thanius - Co-designer of the Clock Tower, thanks for putting up with my constant "It looks odd" which always resulted in a design change.
AstriaS - I cannot begin to explain the lengths he took to finish the Clock Tower, he took up the entire responsibility of building it while I built other buildings around Pax. Without Astria we wouldn't have the Clock Tower today and more so it would have been finished around late January 2019.
People of Pax - For putting up with everyone packing into the Inn and gathering resources for the Clock Tower. Without you guys we wouldn't have half the stone required to build the Clock Tower.
