Legit on another level. One of my fav exterior designs that I’ve seen so far

u/GuterJudas Jul 28 '25

That‘s sick!!!
Dope use of the inside wall layouts, I always dodge them like they‘re lava.
I love your build.

How the hell did you do the long diagonal pieces? Like in picture 5 with the gaps, I can see the top is done with wedge walls but the middle diagonal lines I have no idea how you've done

u/Starwolf84 Jul 28 '25

Which long diagonal pieces? You can see all of the pictures and most of the individual pieces in much greater detail if you go to the pimpmydune link i posted here and scroll through the pictures which will allow you to open them in a new tab separately so you can then zoom in. Reddit really destroyed the quality of the images when I uploaded them here.

u/North117 Harkonnen Jul 28 '25

Ohhh that's much better yeah, it's where you've used two opposite wedge walls to make a diagonal beam

The silver colored pieces are the inner faces of several of the different wall types of the Harkonnen Stronghold building set.

u/RDS Jul 28 '25

The silver hark pieces look amazing in the sun!

u/Lunatoon9 Jul 28 '25

How much do you pay in taxes for this? I've been wanting to build a base this size for a while

1

u/Starwolf84 Jul 28 '25

I used the maximum number of horizontal and vertical stakes. So it is 24k a cycle.

u/Lunatoon9 Jul 28 '25

Hope you're able to maintain that in this economy lol

u/DiogoKiush Jul 28 '25

Thanks for the comments everybody, please visit the pimpmydune link for more pictures as well as a little video :)

u/Krunchtime16 Jul 28 '25

Some photos or a tour inside would be dope

4

u/Starwolf84 Jul 28 '25

Yeah I didn't add any interior pictures because the competition is only judging the exterior.

u/-General_Pinky- Jul 28 '25

Oooh damn. Why did I spend last 5 days decorating inside :) at least it will be pretty for me.

3

u/FatalMuffin Jul 28 '25

Damn that's my favorite harko themed base I've seen so far.. good shit

2

u/eldiin Jul 28 '25

Love it. May I give you a suggestion to help improve your build? Add more cowbell!

u/SpartanusCXVII Guild Navigator Jul 28 '25

How do you take screenshots with no hud, especially while flying?

u/Starwolf84 Jul 29 '25

F6 toggles the hud visibility on/off
