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

The chopper, even though rather heavily armed for police actions, really fits well with the walker

Thanks chaps 

The specialist police force I'm going for are heavily armed, just google New Dominion Tank Police for an example 

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

There will be and interestingly, there is a very sound theory that the buleish tint to the lights in Japan helps to reduce crime 

It takes a real man to show his chopper on a toy soldier forum 

Funny man

Thanks for the info James... very interesting: one day I must visit Japan.

Haven't checked this thread for a while. It looks great with the lots out (also with the lights on, just in case you though I was being insulting)

Bloody brilliant James. You clever swine, you.

Cheers again 

This will be the last post on this for a while, I've got other things to be getting on with.

All the buildings I've done so far need detailing and I started on the tall, plain office block one with a canopy, light and vending machine (for those that don't know, these vending machines are everywhere and can be used in the event of an emergancy as a location identifier as they all have a code and the address on them that can be used to inform the emergancy services. Not a lot of streets in Japan have street name signs...).

I'm going to print out an image of the vending machine window part and stick it in (a little way back from the front) and see how it looks otherwise, I'll have to make all the bottles/cans etc.





The lights look brighter than they actually are 

Also, I've got the vertical building signs to do yet, still pondering the best way but I think I've got a solution with my wife's help 

cheers

Which you will, in the end, because you're you

[Silent Invader]

Excellent!

How right is Rhoderic?

Does the vending machine work? Because, otherwise, you know, it just looks like a box with a light in it. You need to up the game 

I think the picture will work just fine.

Interested to see your vertical signage, too!

You need to make some really tiny chocolate bars for it!
