Akira style project ** 'Stolen' mech 23.11.16**

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks for the response chaps 

Electrifying.

That pun was ... shocking.

Apart from you two, you can get your coats 

I carried on with shelf stacking for a little bit yesterday and I'm thinking I'll cast this one and maybe make another the same size and a couple of smaller ones.



Thanks for the headsup on the commercial shelves Aquamarine, they certainly look the part but for the time being I'll stick with my own until I get fed up with them 

cheers

Good one, stick to your shelves James, especially if you are able to mass produce them easily.

Blimey James, that lighting is impressive, it's just like watching Akira, what a blast it would be to play. I hope you pick up some of those infinity appleseed like mech suits too. Then you can start working on your 1:48 Eva 01  ... or your 1:48 Godzilla Vs Mothra game  

Bento boxes and Sushi rolls*!!!! Nice one James! Will there be uniformed store people with aprons and gloves on too??? In all seriousness though, that's some nice brushwork at such a scale. I'd be tempted to print off little wrappers and stick them around styrene/straws personally though.

Cheers
Matt

*They better be refrigerated

Wow wow wow...this project is so cool. The lighting, the grungy terrain, the total look, the detail. Fantastic man. I want to play games on your table!

Thanks again chaps

I'll be doing fridges as well but using the back wall to backlight them so they glow 

I've got a 1:48 Patlabor kit waiting to go and have got a couple of the Infinity 'suits' I've also been watching Bubblegum Crisis on YouTube for more inspiration, it's just a real shame that the GZG KnightSabres are so small 

Any suggestions for Boomers and KnightSabre proxies greatfully received 

I'll pop over to AndyM's civvie thread for suitable ideas for shop staff 

cheers

I'm totally fascinated by this project, I feel like a moth attracted to light

[Modhail]

Inspired madness!

I thought the boomers still scaled okay? Sure I saw a thread a year or two back that showed them in comparison shots.

Some of these are good (most are not).

To be honest, for boomer types I'd look at Void/Urban War Syntha figures and Warzone Ressurection... Whatever the cyborg faction is called...

Knight Sabres... I wouldn't. I'd look for a more modern designed equivalent. Appleseed style or similar, the whole single piece lower led look never worked for me

[Damas]

I'd also recommend the ZandrisIV range of mecha.

I also love this one for the not-too-high-tech look in Cyberpunk:

Nah, they are too small really, a shame as they are great little sculpts and I really like the original KnightSabres, none mobile ankles and all 

Time to go shopping again 

cheers

In fairness, look at the height difference between you and your good lady... Also between your wife and yourself. Just use the 25mm sculpts for the young Japanese ladies

[Dr DeAth]

Some great buildings and ideas, very 'en-lightening' 

[Rhoderic]

Electrifying.

I'd post a pun as well, but nah... I'd just be going with the current.

Yup, that's a Japanese kombini, alright.
