I've been trying to finish off the builds that I started for this project one at a time. It's sort of working but I still find myself occasionally flitting between them. I'm glad to say, howeer, that this one is done!
It's very loosely based on my favorite ramen shop in Tokyo and I went to town a bit on the details. The main walls and floors are laser cut acrylic with the little hut on top from card. It was mainly painted with rattle cans and copious weathering was added with inks and pastels.
Some of the elements are available from Here and some have been scratch built. I really need to sort out a switch for it as plugging the ceiling lights into the battery holder everytime is a bit of pain but as it's not essential to the look I haven't done it yet lol
Onto the photos (which are a tad uneven colour wise, apologies for that). There's also a video at the bottom with dodgy 'sound effects'.

That is a great building, and looks very playable too. (assuming that the floors come off as separate layers)
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteThe floors are removable but I'm thinking of having simple print outs next to it when it's on the table next to all the other buildings.
cheers

Very nice Jim...
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the lighting.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly :-)
DeleteI could also put little battery tea lights in some of the floors so it looks a bit more lived in.
cheers

It's simply amazing. It looks like a real place, so natural. What a fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly :-)

I love it. Really reminds me of some of the slightly more suburban urban areas! Kawagoe etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteYes, I'm going for the out lying areas rather than the inner city as making those massive buildings in 28mm doesn't bear thinking about lol
cheers
