Thanks again gents

The water bottle is from a company called Meng who make lots of different types for 1/35 dioramas. Not easy to come by though (well, cheaply at any rate and I don't do eBay).

The emblem is actually a 3d one and is bright gold so a decal is not really suitable unless I can find a proper one

cheers

Nice work on that bike. What 3d modeller are you using?

Police bot looks good too. I like the weathering.

It's Rhino ver4 (32 bit I think).

Easy to use? Free?

Very intuitive and can be used for 3d or 2d and there are lots of online tutorials but the cheapest I've seen it is about £710...

cheers

Alternating between this and castle Blackwolf at the mo (pictures of which tomorrow) I got the office block out and started putting it together.

Shitty weather means no spraying yet but hopefully it'll be clear over the weekend.

It's clear acrylic so not the easiest thing to see but hopefully you'll get the idea.

Thinking about lighting this one as well

I took lots of pictures of unusual buildings whilst I was out there last time and will scratch build quite a few. This will help to break up the monotony of the skyline as I'm imagining it will get quite samey using the same building types all the time.

And last but not least, I started work on a construction labor. 1:100 plastic kit that scales quite nicely for this. I've taken the huge missile pods off and will replace with scratch built construction arms and paint it the same colour as the utility vehicle a few pages back

More to follow...

cheers

Love that mech, mate.
It is going to be a cracker.

The building being made of clear acrylic has given a few ideas for another type of game completely....hmmm.

Excellent.

I can't really make out the building mate, but anything built by you is always up to high standards! The mech on the other hand looks cracking already! Are you planning on Aliens style loader arms?

The building is ace!

Just smashing! Is it made like 'trays' that stack? Do you plan to sell these? It would make a great NYC Apple Cube Store for an urban game!

That building in it's transparent state could be very useful for certain games... (Say, playing a cyberspace raid)

I like the idea for the construction labor.

That goes in the inspiration folder for my Appleseed plans.
