I like clean sci-fi, not so much for the Star Trek-utopian viewpoint, but to illustrate contrasts. I can easily imagine this building a couple-o-few blocks from a gang ridden slum, hogging the best part of the beachfront.

Any idea when it’s coming out? It WILL be mine!
*yearn*

New set looks awesome.

Wow, Stefan!  This is one of the rare models you’ve done that makes the future look hopeful, not destitute and Dystopian.  I appreciate the new perspective.  I look forward to having it in my Runtime at some point.

...ahh, Telestrian Industries HQ, Portland, Tir Taringire.  Nice.

...or even better, Aeon Technologies:  Hilo, Kingdom of Hawai’i.

...palm trees aren’t native to the Pacific Northwest.

I’m usually not a big fan of ‘clean’ sci-fi.

Although I agree, this is a disturbing trend, IMO. It used to be that sci-fi was about looking forward to a brighter, better future where basic needs are met and men, women, and different races are more equal. The turn away from that to the more dystopian views that are popular now is an indicator of how we see the world *currently*...I think people had more hope for the future in the ‘50s than they do nowadays.

Kudos, nonetheless, to Stonemason for giving us the tools to present whatever version of the future we want!

I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily the conclusion to be drawn. For me, I live a very mundane life, so I like my fantasy and sci-fi dark: Lord of the Rings rather than Narnia, Mass Effect rather than Star Wars or Star Trek (though I do also like Narnia, Star Wars, and Star Trek, incidentally).

this looks insane and like a must have

I had some lucky timing with money crediting my account… here’s a couple of quickies

the overview shows a substantial building on a solid-looking concrete plinth block that should make it quite versatile for sinking it into several different terrain environments.

the courtyard shows great potential for dramatic depths of scale (note size of default Genesis shape on upper balcony platform)

just realised I posted in the wrong thread, LOL

Will there be more in this Utopia series?  I like having different planets of people.  Some people have this Utopian look while others have dystopian looks. Other planets are based on different cultures.  While some are based on my imagination.

Enough of the rambling I want more of the Utopian series.  I cannot get this Utopian labs right now but I want to later.

yes,more will be added to the series,already concepting another one,

and thanks for the pics Jabba,.in addition to mixing it with different terrain environments I found it looked cool when adding a water plane,
...reflecting water,palm trees & white architecural finishes all work well together

How long will it be 20% off?

as with all my new releases the 20% intro price will last 2 weeks

thanks
stefan

here’s one with a water plane ,deleted the lower half of utopia and moved the main deck
