Each 'board' will be on a 100mm plinth and some of them will have interiors. I've already started on the subway station (which I'll get out at some point this weekend) and others might be left blank.

cheers

Ambitious as always! Looking forwards to seeing the subway station, those in particular fit the whole near future urban setting. (though I do not recall any subways in Akira)

I don't think there were but this is turning into more of a generic manga/anime project because apart from the bike clashes and the riots there's not much else that could be wargamed

cheers

I was watching Akita again at the weekend. It's been ages since I've watched it. Sooo.......when are you going to make a few of these?.....

I did start on a bike but it got sidetracked (as most things do) but I've still got the file so will get back to it at some point

In other news, I made a train and a half built subway station

I sometimes think this project might never end...

Anyway, onto some photos. The train is a solid block clad with lasered acrylic sides and then duely sprayed. The station itself is all acrylic so far that has also been sprayed. They still need weathering and details but I think the effect works quite well. The train isn't a specific one but has many generic Japanese features (just search for Japanese trains on google and you'll see what I mean).

The train has its bogies to do and is sitting a little high. The grey circles are for the columns and the ceiling will be lit which should hopefully produce some good photos. I'll also do a blank side that will 'block off' the platform end.

cheers

How much storage do you have?! (You don't have a shed/garage, right?)

You've out done yourself big chap!

Brilliant stuff!

Very Matrix-y!

With all this weighty acrylic are you not going to need a lorry to transport it anywhere?

This is just something he knocked up in the advert breaks while watching Strictly.
Apparently......
