The Department/Cyberpunk project (Hawker Stalls! 20/12/17)

Wow! Great stuff! Those new buildings look great! Definitely down and dirty!

Can I make a suggestion for civilians? I found a cheap way of doing stuff for my Megacity One Project. Someone suggested to me to find cheap 1:48 scale model railway people. You can buy bags of 50-100 very cheaply. I’m using mine for the masses. They’re not detailed, but in a massed bunch they should look the part. The ones you’ve got could be characters amongst them?.....

That link is for the UK version of EBay, but I’m sure there’s similar ones in Australia.





There was some other suggestions on a thread a while ago if that helps too......

Thanks for the link, very helpful! I was always concerned the railway figures wouldn't scale well and be too ubderdetailed, but they look right at home on your board!

This is a stunning thread, your characters are great, lovely mix of manufacturers. Your scenery is something else! It must have been a lot of work getting a table looking that good!
Those 1:48 railway models look pretty cool. They've kind of got that faceless, oppressed look you want in a dystopian future.

I've got a stash of them as well. You can get them unpainted in plain white or pink styrene and they can actually paint up really well -- there's an amount of "painting in the detail" in the way that one used to have to with older miniatures. They fit pretty well with some of the slimmer, more "realistically" proportioned tall-28s.

Painted up a couple of Cyberpunk versions of some of our Chinatown Buildings

[exploding youth]

Also painted up four feet of raised Highway. Takes up quite a bit of real estate but transforms the feel of the setup instantly

[hubbabubba]

Yes, totally agree. The highway really is a defining piece in terms of atmosphere. I'd imagine it also completely changes the table in terms of tactic too. Great piece.

Remind me who your distribuiter is in europe?

We don't have a distributor in Europe just yet but Shiny Games (UK) Link and Decors Miniatures (France) Link both stock KoD products

Fantastic layout! I don't know why, but that highway adds so much realism to your table! I think it might be the more gothic elements of the structure that helps.

Have you tried gaming on it yet? How does it feel being so crowded?

[Malebolgia]

DAMN you are so fast!! It's insane how fast your city is expanding. And with every piece it becomes even better and cooler. Really fantastic additions.

What are you using as street tiles by the way? I don't recognize these from your store.

Oh and by the way...this thread has made me work on Cyberpunk again. After finishing my first version of my city I got a case of 'project burnout' but now the fire is getting strong again! So thanks! I am working on some buildings and civilians so hope to expand again soon, to make the city more dark, gritty and...like yours!

Haven't had a chance to play on it yet,  I reckon we'll have to make it a little more sparse/less tall to play on. The overcrowdedness makes for great scenic shots though!

Thanks mate! Glad its inspiring you! Look forward to seeing your project expand.

The base boards are custom, we don't currently offer board tiles but its been requested so many times I think we are probably going to do some sooner rather than later

[Malebolgia]

You should! They are terrific and a lot better than the stuff I'm currently using (a Games & Gears board and a vinyl mat). But I guess they will be a killer to ship; 4'x4' in wood will weigh a ton.

The weight and bulk issue is the main factor why we haven't made tiles yet

[Ockman]

It's... it's beautiful!
