In the future, science doesn’t need to have a purpose — it just has to look cool. That’s my guiding principle in this latest retrofuturistic rebuild of Abbotts Aerodrome. That and rings. In the future, everything has rings!
Here are some snapshots of the progress so far.
The tower, under construction. Unlike real life, in SL you can build towers from the top down.
A view of Abbotts Aerodrome, looking northeast. The hangars will soon be rebuilt as well.
A closer view of the tower, looking southwest. For scale, you can see that there there’s a person standing on the walkway. The central structure is a little more than 100 meters in diameter, not including the walkways.
When you teleport to Abbotts, you arrive in this central plaza, located on the hilltop.
Inside the Research and Development building, there is a fine example of science that looks great, but has no purpose. Witness: THE SPINNING THINGS. I have no idea what they do, but boy do they look dangerous. If you can get past those, you can take the elevator a few hundred meters up to the R & D labs.
