Yanov station

Nick3306 · April 27, 2011, 01:35:28 AM

Yanov station was the center of all train transportation near the city of pripyat, the major city effected by the Chernobyl disaster. It now sits abandoned due to high levels of radiation.

I want to do this project because i always found the Chernobyl disaster interesting. One of my goals in life is to tour the city of pripyat and the Chernobyl plant itself.

GSC remade the station for use in their PC game series S.T.A.L.K.E.R., their version is mostly what i will be basing the design from since pictures of the station before the disaster are very, very rare.

Now all i have to do is figure out if there is a world with enough space to make this project, if not, i might need my own world.

I havnt worked out how big I want to make it but it shouldn't be to big, the problem is I can't find anywhere to build it but I don't think it's big enough for it's own world.

This is a cool idea, I don't know what it is about Chernobyl, but I find it incredibility interesting and haunting. I'd love to go there some day.

Some really amazing pictures here if anyone is interested: http://www.grcade.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2217

I guess these won't help you much though.

Ya the whole situation i find interesting.

Maybe i could find someone who wants to do another project to maybe split a world with me or something.

If i cant find a bigger area i might just build it in the open area of builder4, is anyone else planning to build there?

Nick3306 · April 28, 2011, 09:39:32 PM

Dang, the room in builder 4 is now taken, seems i was 5 hours late lol. O well for now this project is on hold until i find space.

These are a few of the SS from STALKER i will be using to create this. I wont be able to re create the brokendowness (probably not a word) but it gives me enough of an idea
