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

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps  

It would be great to see all your future-tech buildings on one board, glowing and lovely.  

Hopefully in a week or two I'll be able to put a few together lit. I've got five in various stages of completion which should be enough for at least a 2x2 board.

Good lord, how do you find time to create all this fantastic stuff?

A very patient wife who finishes work late  

Is that LED lighting strips you've used on the tall building?

It is, they come on a 50m reel and I 'aquire' what's left after a project at work as it would just get thrown out otherwise.

you're putting your day job to good use!

Don't say that, I wont enjoy doing these anymore if it's compared to work  

Got the lights sorted for the top four floors of the office block, my. God, there's going to be a lot of furniture to fill them up  




I think for the demo table I'll just doing the wiring as a best fit and not worry too much about it as hopefully people won't be playing on it at Salute.

If I get time tonight I'll post a picture of them all together.

cheers

Well, that was quick 






Only a quick set up but hopefully you get the idea 

I think I'll paint some figures next.

cheers

If you ever manage to light these up at Salute, all the other stall holders will be fighting to get next too you to get some excess light to light up their models.

  is it that bad?

A vertical lighting strip that moved up and down would be cool, kind of like an elevator moving up and down. No idea if it's possible though!

[Silent Invader]

Excellent James, excellent indeed 

[Anpu]

Impressive, most impressive.

 

[Ray Earle]

Pretty smart. 

It'll look amazing all lit up.

P for Porn?
You dirty man!

Love the terrain!

Pachinko more likely, what with the flashy lights etc. Not that that's much better. :-)

Magnificent, James. I don't know if this should spur me on to actually start Mega-City terrain or cower in abject fear of being inadequate.

[Commander Vyper]

Stunning.

E-wire would some great signs?

[Malebolgia]

Wooooow!!!

  true although they all be battery powered as I'm not paying £200 for a socket

It's not great but at least it's not sulphur yellow as some shows are 

We have done moving lifts in the past but it's an absolute ball ache and I wouldn't want to contemplate it again

'P' for Parking you daft sod

I did think about a Pachinko parlour but the ones with the flashy lights tend to be in the less built up suburbs and the ones in the high rise areas are just in normal blocks.

Go on, have a go. I'd love to see what you can do 

E-wire would some great signs?

I think I know what you mean there 

Yes, plenty of lit signs and bill boards will be making an appearance 

cheers

[Damas]

my. God, there's going to be a lot of furniture to fill them up  

Why don't you fill them the way they always do in films, first couple of floors as normal, then the third will be a drawing office with rolls of blueprints and drums and the fourth will be lots of sheets of polythene (using thick clingfilm) and glass panes stacked up.  Perfect for shootouts with off duty cops missing their shoes.

Looks awesome.... How are you going to reach the figures?

A Bibblyflap will be built into each level for ease of access.
