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

Thanks gents 

How are the Japanese trains for graffiti?

It's virtually none existent but as this is a slightly more distopian version there will be more dirt and graffiti.

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

Not enough...

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

Doesn't weigh that much to be honest.

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

No apparently about it 

cheers

Jim doesn't watch Strictly, he lives it! 

Loverly stuff!

Mate.....I may have found you your Akira bikes. You would just need some decent riders.

Already got a couple but would prefer something a little more in keeping with the original.

Extend the back and front wheel and you should be sorted...

[OSHIROmodels]

It would be good to get a 'unique' design that could be put into production though... 

cheers

Hey Jim, how did you "spray" the platform so crisply and exact? Using Tamiya tape? Gorgeous work, mate ...

Thanks chaps 

Matt, come dack from daddy land soon, you are missed

Yup, it's the stuff I showed you when you came round. The score lines help as they guide the scalpel and I try to re-use as much as possible. The sprays are hobby sprays but done in light coats so it doesn't go underneath the masking.

cheers

I like that train. A lot. I'd have thought that a lot of the stuff you've made from this setting would have an interest to customers? There's not much out there for this genre (present,  near future, etc) that is of that quality. Knights of Dice is probably the best I've seen personally.

And there was me thinking that you just got a very small man with a very small brush to paint them on for you.......
