Goofy looking anime-insipered car
« on: September 13, 2012, 04:28:17 PM »
This model is one of MPennock's Shapeways vehicles. I think it's supposed to be a security car, but I plan to use it as a background car for street scenes in Cyber-Punk, Judge Dredd and even Colonial Marines games. It's a strange looking critter, but I like it.



and here's a picture of it with a 28mm figure for scale.

Beautiful job on the car, Michka! I love the windscreen effect you've done there.

Neat.  It seems like legitimate futuristic design with amazing driver visibility (at least forwards).  I also like your window effect BTW.  The wheels make me think of Penelope's car from Thunderbirds:



... and it would probably look cool painted in pink ;)

I can see it as a beautiful addition to Crooked Dice's Timelift Security forces. (Though it look awfully small to me...)

These days it seems like cars are actually moving towards worse and worse visibility!

Oooo! Any chance you'd show some of your Cyberpunk minis? Any game shots?

Most of my Cyberpunk minis can be found in my Judge Dredd thread, which I've been ignoring for far too long. I have no game shots so far, as I'm always better at starting game projects then finishing them. Maybe I should fix that.
