Thank you all kindly  :)

(And i will send those floorplans/dimensions over Chrimbo ;)).

Good man (leave out the monkeylugs though  ;D )

Looks like they could fit in, but again, not sure as I don't know the source material.

They could at a push but I've got plenty for now from Doug and will get some more soon  :)

cheers

James

Well, got some goodies from Antenocities at Warfare last year but have only just started to look at painting them.

The little car fits in with what I'm thinking style wise (the other civvie vehicles, although very nice, are too futuristic). I started to paint it and mask it with a liquid mask but unfortunately it' got ammonia in it and it reacted badly with the spray (acrylic).

Not to worry though because after the swearing I realised that it could be used as an old and knackered one... So after some heavy weathering, here we are.




Not much else going on here for now but maybe soon  ;)

cheers

James

Beat up is not what I expect to see on an Antenociti car, that's for sure. Very cool!

Bet that guy regrets not opting for the rustproofing now!

Certainly fits the Akira vibe - that always took place in the less salubrious parts of Neo Tokyo from memory.

Great looking accident there!  8)

Fits your Project perfectly, as some of the bases we have seen have trash on them, a car more shiny than that would fit the bill :)

So you have some Antennociti cars up for grabs then?  ;D

Not at all, the second one will be done properly and if it doesn't I'll use it anyway  ;D
