Yes but I'm getting as much stock together as I can as I don't want to be caught out.

cheers

Looks good, but what's the intended use? As in layout. I want to do a similar thing but with lots of neon etc for a Chinese city. I've been trying to work out how to not make it too cramped to use. Will these be in the centre with the streets around them or have buildings either side with enough space to get arms etc in?
So many projects..... so little time.......

Really starting to take shape now. How many buildings do you think the finished board will have?

Those look great and really capture the look of urban Japan. That crab reminds me of restaurant sign I've seen in Osaka- too bad you can't rig up the legs to move. :D

Thanks gents  :)

To be honest mate, I've no idea, haven't really thought that far ahead  ::) lol

Probably going for a two by two to begin with with a flyover and railway on two different levels, sounds small but you can fit a lot of these in that space, the street above is under two foot long.

Really starting to take shape now. How many buildings do you think the finished board will have?

As above, no idea yet but I need a bigger office type building to add variety.

too bad you can't rig up the legs to move. :D

It is possible of course, a simple motor with a cam hooked up to a something or other but all the legs are moulded onto the body  ;)

For a small skirmish with multiple levels, a 2'x2' can handle quite a bit.

Are you planning on moving anyway? Or do you just need another house in order to have the space to fit all your small houses into?

Perfect for mega city one too. Nice and claustrophobic.

Got a simple office block drawn up and the first floor cut out but won't be able to put it together until later in the week.

On a side note, we are going to use the skirmish rules we are using for our Martian games (particularly in this thread http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=66555.0 ) and although they aren't quite ready yet it won't be long  :)

I've also got some normal figures and a couple of security robots to paint up soon  :D

cheers
