Heyhey, here's some retrofuturistic city cars:

Hope you like them! I'll also post more photos of the cars, scenic shots, and fitting sci-fi characters soon!
-
Those vehicles look stellar!
-
Oh wow, those reflections... :-*
I'm in the middle of watching Blade Runner: Black Lotus, so this works on an immediate level for me 8)
-
Top notch mate 8)
Might I ask where you got them from?
-
Those are absolutely amazing.
Essentially your painting is so good you can make anything look spectacular.
-
@Grumpy Gnome: Cheers! :)
@Daeothar: Thanks!
@OSHIROmodels: Thanks. I got them from the gentleman who said "paint those up for me real nice, paintman". :D They're from Blacksite Studios' Zaibatsu Cyberpunk range. https://blacksitestudio.com/zaibatsu-cyberpunk/ (https://blacksitestudio.com/zaibatsu-cyberpunk/) 32mm in size, because the world's gone mad. :P But the vehicles will fit 28mm figures just fine. As I said, I'll post some characters lateron as well and maybe give a size comparison.
@Spinal Tap: High praise indeed. Thanks very much. Based on that theory I should start painting my face!

Oh my!! Incredible!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Cheers for the info mate :)
A bit big but they might just do at a stretch.
-
Love 'em :-* 8)
-
fair to say you've done a flipping marvellous job on both the vehicles and figures :-*
-
Brilliant! Absolutely stunning!
-
Right, well, that's just bloody ridiculous isn't it? :o
-
Lovely :- Your attention to detail is amazing 8)
-
Beautifully done! :o
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…”

@Sterling Moose: Thanks very much! :)
@OSHIROmodels: Yeah, as I said: the cars should bit 28mm figures.
@Dags: Cheers!
@Bloggard: Thanks very much! Yeah, they're meant to be used for dioramas mostly.
@Grumpy Gnome: Thank you; much appreciated. :)
@JollyBob: Well, I am a ridiculous man. :D
@Blackwolf: Cheers; I try!
@Earther: Thank you!
Thanks for all the positive feedback! I was informed that I'll be painting some more figures and cars from that range. In the mean time, here's the characters with a proper background as well:

Have a nice weekend!
-
I like the miniatures
and the vehicles
and your painting!
Too bad the vehicles and figures are only available in the US.
T.
-
The work you've done on those cars is awesome, the reflections work really well. Congrats.
-
Reflections are like little works of art one must ask how?
-
As with the others, super sweet painting. Nailed the look!
I have a small cyberpunk project I haven't touched in ages, this makes me want to pick it up again.
Cheers for the info mate :)
A bit big but they might just do at a stretch.
They sell STLs of the models too, so you could size them to suit.

Painted characters are really good, but man, you killed me with the way you've painted the windows ! :-*
-
@Sgt_T: Dr Mathias pointed out that apparently you can buy the digital files from them as well, so that's nice. :)
@hubbabubba: Thank you!
@Golgotha: Cheers! A unique mix of start-of-the-year-depression, knowing that I'll forever regret it if I don't try this, and Bat ouf of Hell 1 did this. :D I just sat down and gave it a go. I love neon cityscape reflections on sci-fi cars. I'm the last person in the world who would refer to figure painting as art (because I think the real art happens elsewhere), but especially on the front windows of the red and the blue cars it almost goes in that direction, because physically, the reflections don't make that much sense, but much rather look like the front page of a comicbook or something. I bent the reflections a bit to make them look more reflection-y, but it's much more German expressionist film than correct reflection. :D
@Dr Mathias: Cheers! Let me know if you need the figures painted. ;)
@tancrede: Thanks very much, Sir. Much appreciated as always. Yeah, I'm rarely proud of things I do, but of those I kinda am. :D
-
Those reflections on the car windows are absolutely astonishing.
-
Just incredible and a big WOW! you need to do a tutorial to show how to do the reflection technique
-
@Osmoses: Thanks very much. :)
@bandit86: Here we go: Paint the windshields in a purple-to-very-dark-purple fade, realize that this looks pretty daft on the pretty single-colour cars and that life's too short to paint something to look daft. Remember the nicest sci-fi 80s anime (those did reflections very, very well), look up reference photos in general, put on Bat Out of Hell, paint on the reflections, paint on the reflective beam-y like bright white things over everything in the end. :) The fun really starts when you got multiple windows (possibly at varying angles) facing the same direction, and you can play around with guessing how the reflection would look like in that other window. It really was one of those "just trying it and see how it turns out" kind of things. That seems to be the technique I employ the most. :D

Heyhey, here's more figures for this collection! They're more general cyberpunk civilians and one more car. But that one's flying!

These figures are all by Black Site Studios and are available via their website. They're proper tall 32mm figures although the cars will fit with 28mm figures as well. They come with tall 25mm round bases (the nun with the tv on the tea tray comes with a 30mm base or something like that) which I replaced with Renedra 25mm round bases. Because why would a non-slotta figure stand on a tall base. The packs are sold as seen in the closer-up photos. The two-figures "inventors" pack is being sold off now, so if you want to grab a very tall dude in a suit (and another dude in a kicky beret), get them now. :)
I'm in no way affiliated with Black Site Studios, I just wanted to give you all the infos in case you're interested.
Hope you like the figures! I was a bit worried I wouldn't get the car done like the prior ones since a bunch of months have passed since I did them, but I'm rather sure it'll fit in well.
-
Another wonderful bunch of minis :-*
And I'm very sure the car will fit in seamlessly with the other ones. It reminds me of a Fiat Ritmo or a Renault 5 for some reason...
-
yep, knock-out.
-
Great stuff mate 8)
-
Excellent stuff!
-
Brilliant work! 👍
-
I love the figures and your painting is outstanding!
I have a soft spot for Bladerunner-y stuff, it was one of my first introductions to the future noire genre and grabbed my imagination.
-
Spectacular 8)
-
Fantastic!!
-
Awesome work!
-
WOW !!!! Got to love those reflections.
The City backdrop greatly adds to the effect. Where did that come from?
-
Very awesome.
-
Those figures are amazing and as noted before - the reflections are incredible. What a great collection.
-
Fantastic! A bit late to this party, but these are stunning! :-* They put my stuff to shame! Thats it.....I'm binning my stuff and taking up knitting! lol
-
Awesome, love the saturated colours and variety in them. Proper Cyberpunk, looks terrific 8)
-
Awesome stuff...
Is it me or is that latest car an old Renault 5 with two bits stuck on the front?
-
Awesome stuff...
Is it me or is that latest car an old Renault 5 with two bits stuck on the front?
That's certain. Both of it! :)
-
Wow!

@Daeothar: Thanks very much! Yeah, the car is very nicely designed in that it looks like something regular people would actually drive. It looks neither too 'sci-fi', nor 'forced cartoony retro-futuristic'.
@Bloggard: Goodie. :)
@OSHIROmodels: Thanks very much, Sir!
@Elk101: Cheers! A collection (ie more than four :P ) civilian figures in any setting is something I enjoy a lot. Especially if they are as colourful as these here.
@Grumpy Gnome: Thanks!
@Pattus Magnus: Thank you very much! These figures are pretty big, but also got that pretty much impeccable casting quality. So they're rather fun to paint, albeit time intensive since each and every one of them is a character. So batch painting is a no-go in this case.
@Dags: 8)
@majorsmith: Oh, thanks. :)
@Ockman: Cheers!
@has.been: Thank you. The backdrop is a royalty-free stock picture off the internet.
@Gunner Dunbar: Thanks. :-)
@syrinx0: Thanks. Yus, I'm rather smugly satisfied with the reflections. :D Just feels right for the setting, and they make the cars a ton more interesting. Of course they don't make much sense (back when I painted the first few cars I looked at photos of reflections on cars and other things a LOT), but in a sort of stylized, slightly-cartoon-ish way I think they work. Which of course is always the cheap way out. :D If I'd gone for proper realistic reflections all across the cars the time invested would have gone up way more, the enjoyment of just mucking about would have diminished, and it probably would never have looked quite right unless there's terrain to match. It's kinda like with some OSL or NMM (the way we see it now on mostly 40k figures makes very, very little sense, but it looks cool. :D ). Last but not least, I just did it because few months prior I'd seen a paintjob on one of the Colony87(?) range cars by Crooked Dice doing a very similar thing, which just looked just immensely appealing to me and which just made me smile. Which happens rarely with looking at paintjobs, especially back last winter.
@Andym: :D A party that results in "I should go home and knit instead" sounds horrible. Thanks for the comment though. Maybe that helps: I'm not allowed to keep the figures either. :P
@Malebolgia: Cheers! Yeah, they're a colourful bunch, in every regard. :)
@hubbabubba, Michi: Funny you should mention that. Daeothar cited the same model before. Given with how many film references Black Site Studios work with that range I can't rule out that this is a film car with a Renault 5 used as a basis and I just didn't get the reference. :D Or the model (which obviously is drawn up on a computer) itself was just based on a Renault 5 and they drew things on.
@BillK: Thanks. :)
Well, the figures have been handed over, the gentleman is very happy with what they look like. Job's a good'un. :)
