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

In the bigger combinis the sushi etc is in waist high coolers (lunchtime food stuffs), in the smaller ones they are in the head height coolers. Drinks are in the head height fridges with the doors. I've also occasionally seen waist height freezer compartments (ice creams and the like).

Suffice to say, everything will be in its proper place  

Steve, you surely can't be the one to call this kind of detailed research 'madness'?  

At least I don't have and spreadsheets for it  

cheers

James

I applaud the attention to detail though the absence of a spreadsheet disturbs me......

Well, how about some dodgy lighting shots again 




I'm also going to put lights under the expressway but need to find somewhere to put the controller 



There's a couple more pavement sections done but I'll take pictures once they've been inked and weathered.

cheers

You could have done the headlights on the van..     

Still mad. Looks great though. 

[Silent Invader]

Looks great James ..,.

.... I know you know you can do headlights with fibre optics 

[Dewbakuk]

Put a skip/bin at the base of the support, put the controller in there.

The van is parked

Why doesn't the van headlights come on?

Pffft. I thought this thread was all that and a bag of chips.

Seriously though, amazing! 

[Malebolgia]

Your city is progressing really well. Love the mix of old and new...perfectly Cyberpunk.

Dodgy photos look cracking mate   

Is it too late to put an access hatch INTO the overpass pillar with a switch? all the wires and gizmos just add to the look I think

Cheers

Or a phone box or news stand*, maybe.
 



*Not sure what the Japanese equivalent would look like though, but I know that you will.

Thanks chaps

That's still possible

Generally there's not a lot under the expressways, maybe a bicycle or car park in the more suburban ones but the main ones are generally empty.

I think I can make room in the central pillar, even though it's solid at the moment, just as Matt mentioned, and use the same light fittings that'll be used for te street lamps.

cheers

Good man!

Finished off a Neo Tokyo Police flyer to go with the walker. It seems a running theme for the eighties and nineties near future Tokyo to have independent 'police' forces that are separate from the normal bobbies. The Tank Police being one example. Also, they always get the better equiment and are one or two steps below the military...

Great excuse for some hardware 

I'm thinking the Dreamforge Eisenkern for the main foot officers with some interesting colour schemes (blue/grey and white).

The flyer is from Antenocities and I've added the launched missiles at the front. I used capoc, and it seems to have worked but it might need a bit of tweaking. I also intend to take some better shots and some close ups but that's for another day.





The last shot is with a normal copper and the NTP walker...



cheers

Bloody hell!
That is some serious hardware for the Old Bill!
 

Would anyone dare feck about in Neo-Tokyo with them around?

Looks great, mate.
 

Gotta admit that I did consider the possibility that your 'air support' may have borrowed some 'ion panels' from somewhere.
 

[Silent Invader]

Very clever James 

No blue lights in Neo Tokyo (not a pisstake but a serious question)?

[Bugsda]

Bloody hell! That's brilliant  It takes a real man to show his chopper on a toy soldier forum
