Great start James ....

..... Didn't take long to fire up the laser on your return from hols!

Well I'm filled with envy now. I just spent four hours attempting to build a simple building last night and the results were not good. And here comes Jimbibbly. That's a beautiful building already. I'm sure paint can only improve it. I'm currently working on cyberpunk terrain and might just "borrow" your design if I may. How big a board are you thinking? Are you thinking mostly building or will there be a serious expanse of street involved?

Wow, so many replies

Thanks chaps.

The building is lasered, layered acrylic and has a very thin coat of spray primer hence the slight translucency.

I've got one of the void bikes but not overly keen on the figures, I'll be going mainly for Copplestone with a bit of Hasslefree, Infinity and Dreamforge thrown in.

Probably going to go for a 4x4 but we'll see how much terrain that needs as Japan is rather busy and full urban wise.

An idea for just the raised road and the bikes might not be a bad thing

cheers

James

Thanks, I had just figured that out when I reread your post and noticed the part about the primer.

Love your idea of a "busy" 4x4 table, Jim

Have you planned the playabilty? I imagine that the aversge wargamer with their general girth might do chaos with your terrain

So, this is the 'Top Secret' project is it...?

Stunning start, mate.
Love the flats, great for a few settings, methinks.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Not sure what you mean with the roads, but could you make something that would work for MC-1 too.
That would certainly please all the Dredd-heads out there.

As usual love your projects and this is wow

Even just lightly primered looks great. Love the style of the flats, they definitely remind me of Japan. Will be copying but without a laser

Will be following this thread closely.

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks chaps

The raised roadway should do for both and other themes as well.

If you've seen any pictures of Japan you'll know how crowded the buildings are, I will be trying to achieve this and b*****ks to the players

Quickly painted one of the floors tonight and did a bit of weathering. It's only rushed to get a feel and to help point out the errors that need correcting (several

). Unfortunately I ran out of the spray but hopefully Modelzone will still be open tomorrow and I can get some more...

Undecided about the interiors as of yet, I might just go for some simple wallpaper. We'll see

I'll see about painting some of my ill gotten gains at the weekend

cheers

James

The Building is looking great so far

, I will either be copying some of the design features, or purchasing Lots of floors from you for my Shadowrun project, that is if I don't get distracted and start something new, leading me to sell of huge bundle of lead at a loss, I seem to be good at that

Andrew May · « **Reply #25 on:** 10 July 2013, 11:35:40 PM »

That looks great, James. First thing that jumped to mind for me was the "prison" apartment in Old Boy for some reason.... Test D6 to eat live squid!

Mason · « **Reply #26 on:** 10 July 2013, 11:57:03 PM »

That looks bloody brilliant, mate.

Time to confess, though, I reckon.
Is this really a Japanese Dolls House that you found on your hols?

Tell the truth now.

Centaur_Seducer · « **Reply #27 on:** 11 July 2013, 12:18:16 AM »

Interior without furniture and details? Blasphemy!

Love the colour of the tiles! Perfect "cheapish" look if you ask me

The only minor issue is that the colour reminds me of the publict toilet tiles, and now I need to wee...

Thanks chaps

Travelling round Japan so many times these things seem to leave an imprint. They are all ever so slightly different shapes, styles colours etc that there's plenty of opportunity to have a totally unique board with no repeats

Painted the whole block now, but needs more weathering and oh so many bits, bobs and whatchamacallits. Still deciding on the best sort of interior though

Will be working on the shop floor at the weekend but so many designs to choose from its difficult to get something that looks generic. I'll probably go for one of the 'combini' stores that are everywhere.

As to the raised roadway, this piccy might give a better idea (pinched off the net). It also gives a good idea on how busy the roof tops can be

cheers

James

That anonymous tiled look is VERY Japanese - love it!
