I admit that I am totally off Manga, although I know Akira, but I love subways! This is a superb photo of an even better project of yours - very well done!

The lighting is amazing love all the different shadows and bright spots you have created, very realistic

Awesome!

Now needs only an escalator (a working one, of course

)

Love the train and station James

Have to be honest though, am not keen on the thick bases for the minis - sorry

Are those led strips?

Yup, and plenty of them. I'll be putting a frosted sheet of acrylic between them and the ceiling to tone it down a bit as there's only about a third done at the moment.

but how playable is that? You've got the figs hemmed in on all sides if you have your ceiling in place. How will this sit on your board? I'm struggling to understand how this all sets out! I ask because I'm looking to ~~steal ideas~~ get inspiration.

The ceiling is removable and I'm tempted to have it next to the actual board. It's still in the 'design' phase at the moment

All the bases are 2mm thick but a few have an extra pavement layer which is what you can see the back of.

cheers

A project like this would really benefit from clear plastic bases though.

This aside, the picture with the lights on made it look like a real place.

Good grief, I've seen ~~some~~ tonnes of cool stuff from you Jame, but this takes the cake

That's utterly brilliant

Thanks again chaps

Got a mech painted over the past few days. A simple paint scheme but it looks OK. I forgot to paint the lenses when taking the scenic shots but I've done them now and they can be seen in the bottom picture. I honestly can't remember which range it''s from as I got it from the bazaar a while back

I think the game story for it will be that it's a prime piece of military hardware that's been hacked by ne'er do wells and is now under their control.It'll be something to go up against the the police mech

cheers

James
