While you're at it, tell me what to do with this red thing.
Make it a foundation for a crane.

It's a cool concept, but it physically looks weird to me. I don't know if that brick pillar would be able to handle a rather large control room and a massive metal satellite on top of it. Perhaps downsize it a bit?
Definitely a good idea, but it is a bit large.
Also to note, the transition of detailing right there is kind of abrupt. (I know it isn't done, just pointing it out.)

You mean the stuff Rav pointed out last page, or on the tower itself?
Also the tower is meant to be modeled sort of after these guys for rough scale/shape:

I know that being based on reality doesn't always mean it's fine, but do you guys really think it's significantly large enough that if you hadn't been asked to comment on it you would notice?
I think if you made the stand a cylinder, it'd probably be fine.
And yes, I didn't see the stuff that rav posted about

Look at all you're images, they all have round houses, with round pillars.
Structure wise, it's smarter to do it that way, so you have an even distribution of weight on the support pillar. It's even more wise to make it cylindrical.
Aesthetically, if you're looking at it, you except some unity, you start from the bottom, you have the "abrupt" 90 degree angles, which then go to the round, lacking-abrupt-angles, so the transition is kind of jarring.
Thats basically the best way I can put it, I guess.

What you can do, is add a larger cylinder at the very bottom, so it looks like there is an actual foundation, that would look a lot better.
I think I can dig that.
detail the area around that more, and I'll toss in my feedback. For now though, it looks okay.
