Just catching up on the thread - more awesomsauce I see.  Any plans for illuminated bus stops and advertising hoardings?

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

It's quite a small chopper though, isn't it?

Man you've been busy. This is looking amazing,  totally amazing. The expressway could be real, though if it was in the UK it would have a drunk/dead tramp, graffiti letting you know that "Jammy" says "F*ck You", piss stains along the bottom 3' and a half burnt jazz mag.

The blue lighting thing apparently worked in parts of Glasgow too. I think I read that they didn't know about the crime thing but noticed it later in a sort of "you know what, no one's been stabbed for ages" moment.

I don't even know where it is  lol

@Steve - there's not a lot of Japanese graffiti around but I think I'll do some anyway as this is based on Akira which is a more gritty version of Japan (jazz mags included  lol)

Have been doing some more lighting and internals but I must apologise for the recent selection of 'close up' shots. I'm still looking for a suitable background to print out but not coming up with anything yet  :?





There won't be any internal access for this one, the figure is just for a scale shot.




cheers

I feel like I should have a shortcut keystroke on my keyboard for "HOLY CRAP THAT'S AMAZING"

Wow. Just ... wow  :o

Better and better! Is this going too be a display board too, because any one looking at it WILL want those buildings! I'm loving the lighting; the grainy shots look like CCTV footage.

Really beautiful - that building reception one looks the part. What does the sign/banner in the window say?
