[Spleep]

I think this fits the bill

A little funny on my detail map

I used the "goal turbine" prop from passtime to make a reactor for these giant robots

Need a floor mat for your resupply locker?

Stick a box in the ground!

 

[Mâché]

combined the cp_foundry chain prop with degroot window models, toolsblack, and a wooden brush to make a prototype drawbridge

You might think this shelf fits nicely into this oddly-familiar observation window. You can't get a good looking angle into it, but it seems plausible enough.

HOWEVER
THINK AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER

Found a neat trick using minecarts. I'm making a A/D Map based off the Apotos hub world from Sonic Unleashed, which has a lot of plants in planters. TF2 has a planter prop but it's far too small for use like this. Instead, I used empty minecarts and stuck them into the ground to look like planters before adding some plant props inside of them.

Dont have elevator floor counters for your shining elevator? just use a clock!

Just found this in Pipeline:

These two textures aren't really meant to go together, but it's close enough to fool most people.

(Honorable mention to one of many instances of that lamp being attached to the side of something even though it's not supposed to be. They didn't even bother hiding the hollow base by shoving it all the way inside the wall.)

Here's another one I discovered, in Dustbowl. This fencing separating this storage area off from the rest of the building?

It's actually just a couple big tall security fence props! The building is tall enough (in fact the whole roof slopes towards that direction, perhaps for that very reason) that they just barely fit without sticking out.

Soho bookstand prop tilted onto its side to act as a hvac system

crane hooks slightly scaled down and tilted to hang up some saws, could probably be used to hang up various other things too!

 

[Sonoma]

merging two light props together to create a more bulbous light bulb

 

[Sonoma]

there are only two conduct switch models, one with the pipe going straight up and the other taking a 90 degree left turn

using the two different conduct models to make a 90 degree right turn for the circuit pipe

Using a combination of brush work and train wheels to make a cable minecart
