Been looking all over for a World War II style underground concrete bunker that could be used as a base of operations for a band of adventures in an Indiana Jones, Rocketter, King Kong, estyle Pulp setting. Or maybe even modern or supers.

Also been looking for a high quality lighthouse.

Are you looking for a bunker or more of a bomb shelter that could be used as a "lair" etc? Also, on the lighthouse, interior modeled as well?

Lighthouse: An interior would be a plus. Definetly needs an "interior" area where the light is.  Maybe have an interior at the bottom. Cannot see much use for the stairs. The exterior is defintely much more important.

Bunker:

I guess more like a large bomb shelter. Or more like an undergorund military base/staging area, built into a mountain. If you have ever played Left 4 Dead on the PC there is a 3rd party map called "7 Hours Later" that has a "factory" level that has the bunker feel I'm looking for. But not necessairly with the larger open areas, gangplanks, etc. And no zombies.... ;-)

Here's a video of the level. WARNING: Lots of gory violence (it's someone playing the game, so fighting the zombie horde).

So mostly interior but with an exterior entrance/exit or two. Should have one entrance large enough for vehicles (like a 1930ish military truck). If you feeling really ambitious, the maybe add an underground dock for a boat. There is alot of stuff out that that sort of fits, but either do not quite have the bunker motif (too industrial, etc.).

Thanks for the interest!!

For the bunker, aso check out the photos of Lobang Jepang. Just do a Google image search. These tunnel systems built by the Japanese during WWII really catch the feel I'm looking for:

This info on the Wikileaks bunker may also be of interest, though it doesn't have the right feel/motif (couild always use the layout).

and there is a control room prop at poserworld that I use for mad scientist lair.

There are also rooms in freestuff and at sharecg that might work .

Thans, markschum, but I keep ruinning into stuff that almost works. Too industrial, too modern, too medieval (stone vs. concret, torches), etc. Hence why I suggested it. Though for the dungeon kit new textures might go a long way to resolving that.

BTW, this would be a "lair" for the good guys. Think e.g. Doc Savage. -- i.e. a team of people working together.

Attached Link: Lighthouse

Just randomly ran across this today from a link in another thread. Here's a lighthouse already made. Maybe it'll work for you.
