Playing around with newspapers as gomi, and a transit map for the bus shelter. Rescaled newspaper sheets (the originals are meant for 3 3/4" action figures) on the base of an O-12 Surveillance drone. Transit map for the shelter. Homage to my favourite rpg of all time.
It's from Cyberpunk 2020 the pen & paper rpg from 1990 (technically, it's from the Night City sourcebook for that game). The one that the computer game CP2077 is based off.
Cool! I didn't get the reference either because my gaming group in the late 90s was into Shadowrun instead. We liked the idea of magic with cyberpunk :)
I knew about groups like that. I found a different group instead. :D No magic in my cp, thanks. That crap belongs in the games with the happy elves and the singing birdies ...
Chromedog, just curious, do apply the no magic rule to include psychics? I seem to remember occasional psychics in CP2020, but whether they were a supplement or 3rd party I don't recall.
The only psychics in CP2020 were third party. DP9 stuff done under licence. Also included werewolves, vampires and other things that go bump in the night. Yes, I applied the no-magic rule in my cp to include psychics. Meat, chrome, guns and stabby things. Flying cars. No dragons, elfs, doofs, trolls or spellslingers in my cp.
Another building I'm working on from the brutal cities line. Currently putting the lighting into the building. There will be lighting over each apartment "entry" as well as an LED cascade on the front and rear of the central tower (all of which come from defunct xmas lighting sets). Doorway architraving hadn't been glued in when I took this shot. The LEDs are just taped in atm. They will be secured with a blob of hot-melt glue in the final. In addition, the front and back of the central tower will have one of these in them as well. "Dripping icicle cascade" LED array. This building will be joining the rest of my light-up pieces on my "NewHokk" table.
"Elevator" lighting pieces have been hooked up, tested and fitted. Now I just have to glue the other side on and the external panel. Then it will be 'finished'. I now have to get the rest of my light-up terrain together to get some shots of it all working.
Just graffiti and grime to add to it now. Otherwise, it's functionally finished. There's a holo-add affixed to the top heat-exchange/radiators to act as a handle for removing that roof piece (so I can access the battery holders). Also, as that area IS wide enough to place a 25mm base on it level, this removes a c+ 270* sniper nest from the building. The chasers and the string of LED lights use a different trigger voltage for their circuits (6v for the chasers, 3v for the static entry lighting) and I couldn't be bothered adding extra resistance to power them all off the one battery pack.
Further additions to my NewHokk table. My local megadeathkill arms merchant (aka "the gun shop"). Parts for it were donated from the corpse of an older Plastcraft building that met a sudden end (laundry accident). The entryway, rear door and window. The rest was all built from 2mm foamed pvc sheet. Still have to add the framing around doors and windows. Showroom has weapon racks on three walls, and a wrecked TAG as a centrepiece. The window has both a clear acetate piece to glaze it, and a sheet of mesh as the security grill. This building will also be lit up. Entry lighting and showroom lighting. Posters and graf will also be added to it. Some scaffolding.
Yup. I was watching one of my favourite xmas movies ("Life of Brian". What? It starts with his birth, which therefore makes it an xmas movie) before painting the graf.
Scatter terrain piece made on a whim this morning. I think it sums up the year that was quite succinctly. This is not a kit. I am tangentially aware that some terrain companies (like warsenal) have done something like this, but I have not seen any of them. Just some scraps and what-not thrown together literally this morning.
You have no shortage of mdf terrain makers in the UK, though. Give some of them a try. We get burned by shipping from most of the rest of the world, too (but a few of our locals licence their designs to OS makers, too)
