You've seen four of these in the last "Build Something" contest, but I had to make more.

Oh wow! What were they before they became your metropolis?

Those were a variety of cheap goblets and champagne flutes from the local Dollar Store.

Looks good. Nice use of cheap bits. What scale are these?

They're ok for 28mm, but really get nicer around 15mm or less.

I was thinking that they would be great for 15s. Really nice Froggy.

So, when do we see a whole city scene put together?  :D

Such a darn good idea. I'll have to have a look for some useful champagne flutes and wine glasses myself.

 :o These are awesome!  And not easily recognizable as the source material... excellent; and I second Operator5, a city scene would be great!

I have, actually.  However, the forces consisted of several LPL entries, so I can't post the battle reports quite yet...

They look so retro. Remind me of the Jetsons and 70s SciFi. Do you plan on building inserts for the glas domes? Like martian living rooms and so on? Not that you would need those, They look astonishing even when empty.

I'd like to, but finding something to use as a floor has proven problematic.
