Akira - The residential garage.

Or Nakajima Towers :-)

Quite a simple build this one, based on a building near the centre of Tokyo (Setagaya if anyone is from that area). No interior access for the floors and the curtains, blinds took forever lol (it was also started over a year ago and has had bits done here and there over that time).

I had a lot of fun doing the garage area and most of the details are available Here

Pretty much the same methods as the ramen shop. Acrylic structure, rattle cans for texture and colour and then inks and pastels for weathering.

Got a choice of what to go for next, a block of flats with a combini (convenience store), a block of flats with an office at ground level, a tall office block with a relatively fancy reception or a corner office block with a curved facade.

  1. That is great. Reminds me of the both of the Bladerunner buildings (though missing the illuminated signs) and the big interconnected hovel in Hong Kong whose name as skipped my mind and failed in Google.

  3. That's an impressive building (well, *another* impressive building). I really love how you make it work and look so natural.

    1. Thank you kindly :-)

      It's just practice and studying buildings in general. It by no means perfect as it's for gaming and doing buildings soley for themselves is another hobby altogether lol

      cheers

  5. Great work again,particularly the garage bit at the bottom. I worry about those aerials though!

    Flats with a combini sounds particularly Japanese to me! Hopefully that one comes "soon".

    1. Thank you :-)

      The aerials are removable and are only put in for photos and eventually, games.

      There's a lot of shelving units to do for it and they are a sod to do lol. I've got a couple more items to mould and cast before I can get it finished properly thogh.

      cheers
