Cyberpunk by Evilstu

Been focusing on painting Fantasy minis of late so not much progress on this project. Then again, am anticipating this one will be more of a ‘slow burn’ type affair anyhow.

I did remember I had a test 3d print of a sci-fi building from a KS I backed a while ago so tracked that down and took a comparison shot next to the KoD building. Scale looked not too bad but think I will upscale the 3d prints by about 12%-15%  just to give them a little more height. These buildings are high, have no interiors and have a small footprint so should be easy to churn out once I’m back up and running on the printer front and will hopefully work well on the gaming table to fill in any areas of free space and mix up the skyline a little. I’m hoping to have all the buildings on the table to be at least 3 stories high to try and create the impression of not much available ground space, noting that no gamer wants the problem of packing away and storing 50 floor skyscrapers…

I also picked up a couple of Micro Art Studios ‘Habitat Tower’ kit in the Black Friday sales. as one of them arrived with the packaging shrink-wrap  split it seems best to build it rather than risking any parts going missing 😉

Kit is 2 sections of hard foam with 2 sheets of MDF to form a base, roof and 2 sides. Instructions are fairly straight forward, although again no parts numbering and I did have to play with the roof railings for a bit to get them to reflect what was done in the instruction image (but that might just be my spatial awareness failing due to sleepiness…).

The two foam sections did not align for me as they were slightly different sizes. If you pick this kit up and this happens to you don’t panic, the way the kit is designed they don’t need to align precisely, the MDF hides the connections so all should be well.

Kit once finished looks like a skewed hexagon, and should once again be a nice looking LOS blocker. Will need to give this a prime with my airbrush as spraying directly onto foam with a rattle can doesn’t always end well…
