(high pitched squeaky voice as a large hand appears with a tiny teapot): "More tea Penelope?"

That vending machine looks great.

Why don't you get a dollhouse to live out these obsessive modelling fantasies!?

He already has one.
That is where Mama stays when he comes to visit.

Nice work James. Now stop working on this project, as it may distract me from my current painting workload

I was waiting for this one to come back so as not to play the necromancer by commenting.

Great stuff! Striking a very nice balance between urban grit and cyberpunk sleek IMO.

Thanks again gents

I've been working on a helipad with some fibre optics but it didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to

Back to the drawing board/computer screen.

cheers

Marvellous thread - really tip-top stuff.

Thanks

Got the helipad sorted. I've resorted to using my Japanese LEDs (which to be honest I should've done in the first place) but I'm only using eight instead of the intended 16. Trouble is, I've got to build a building that it sits on comfortably

The chopper is a toy one and needs a few screw holes and seems filling before it gets a business moguls livery on it (as of yet to be decided). There will also be fine wire going through the small sticky out bits which will make sense when it's done.

These two pictures are taken in a relatively dark corner in my room to better show the LEDs.

Hopefully some more on the bases soon and the underground station

cheers

Man oh man, once again awesome. My favorite Cyberpunk project here

BTW, seen these?

Not Akira, but I think Ghost in a Shell is fantastic for inspiration

Cheers

I've saved most of the those pictures now, thanks for the link

I'm using a lot of near future anime for inspiration - Patlabor, Bubblegum Crisis, Cyber City Oedo 808, Ghost in the Shell to name but a few

cheers

I've been meaning to watch a few of those while I work, I've seen all of Ghost I think but none of the others, any recomendations?

Great to see this moving along, lovely work

Tank Police is fun but watch the later episodes. Bubblegum Crisis is good for this sort of project. The Patlabor series is good, if a bit dry sometimes (if you can find 'The Seven Days of Fire' episode with subtitles then that's good for a laugh).

I'll think of some others later and post them up.

cheers

Pretty sure I've seen all those ('cept Tank Police, but that's because I have all the Shirow comics and just read 'em instead) and will +1. They're all a bit dated at this point, being 80's - 90's sci-fi, but Tank Police is a riot, Bubblegum Crisis is good fun, and Patlabor IS dry, but has pretty decent characters.

Also maybe Armitage for another near-future anime of the same era?
