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

[OSHIROmodels]

This continues to develop beautifully. Having recently got home from Tokyo, the buildings look absolutely spot on.

Any idea on an 'on sale' date on the acrylic buildings yet? I'm itching to get back to my own project, but if these are going on sale, I'll put down the foamcore and back away slowly

Every time I go I take hundreds of pictures of everything, most of them turn out crap 

Regarding the sales, I am seriously looking into injection moulding as they way they are done at the moment is quite laborious. I've got some feelers out there and am slowly going through the parts in 3d to make them suitable...

Might be some time though (got a proper job that comes first) but the general idea is a hopeful 2015 release

Cut the nobbles off and cover the holes with bibblyflaps

Corrected that for you.

He has got long arms but I dont think that even he could threaten to slap you across the Atlantic.

I'll just have to slap you twice as hard then

Right then, got some more figures  

A chem suit gang with a nefarious purpose 

I actually got these from the B+B at Warfare yesterday, £10 for five rather well painted figures. Unfortunately, they are rather dark and I didn't do a good job of photographing them.

The bases are by me though, they came without any.

I'm in the middle of building a light box (when complete I'll post it in the Workbench) that'll hopefully able me to take much better pictures with less messing around with picture editors  



I also meant to pick some more figures from Doug but after seeing him and after having a little chat I wandered off and completely forgot  

cheers

They look great.
Nice work on those bases too.
Messy place this Akiraville.

One too many bangs on the head, maybe......

They look good; the bases are great - the figs could perhaps use a bit more contrast to make them "pop" more, as they say.

Now these have been posted in the 101 painting club I'll show them here for completeness 

The first Neo Tokyo police squad (they're actually numbered as the second but it's the fist one I've painted).



I'll probably do a few hangers next as the police will have a lot of hardware (most of it from Antenocitis).

cheers

Very crisp, mate.
Love that blue/black.
 

[joekano]

Nicely done! Love the goggle and bases in particular.

[Captain Blood]

Like them James. The red goggles really set them off. I like the paved bases too.

[OSHIROmodels]

Many thanks for the replies chaps

Really nice. I've had a load of those guys sitting around for years now because I couldn't settle on a scheme, but that simple black/blue/grey is really effective and well executed.
