About the Project

A while ago I started painting building some scenery and backed the Human Interface Nakamura Tower kickstarter I painted Johnny Silverhand and base coated a couple of others. I had also built two and painted two buildings. That is as far as I had got. With the imminent release of the new Monster Fight Club minis I decided to finish painting and add interior detail to the larger building as well as finish off and paint some more of the H.I.N.T. figures whilst I wait for the New toys to arrive.

This Project is Active

New gun and lights added, all parts are from my left over from Mechanicus Infiltrators and two parts from Skitaari. The police lights are two of the extrusions from the Infiltrator back pack. The gun is made up as follows: turret base- upside down Infiltrator head, gun mount- two Infiltrator legs, guns- two Infiltrator machine pistols with hands carved off, spotlight- Skitaari rangefinder, camera- from Skitaari back pack.New gun and lights added, all parts are from my left over from Mechanicus Infiltrators and two parts from Skitaari.

I like the fact that these guns appear to have two magazines, I will be stating this to have options of loading either rubber bullets or AP rounds depending on situation.I like the fact that these guns appear to have two magazines, I will be stating this to have options of loading either rubber bullets or AP rounds depending on situation.
I found it hard to get the gun frame perfectly symmetrical, so my excuse is that the gun mount has a built in self levelling tracking device so robotic mount moves to maintain optimal target.I found it hard to get the gun frame perfectly symmetrical, so my excuse is that the gun mount has a built in self levelling tracking device so robotic mount moves to maintain optimal target.

Having almost given up, having waited for over a month and a half, my decals arrived this morning. No fault of the company, they were posted on March 24 America to England.

So today I have almost finished my Police Armoured Patrol Vehicle (PAPV), but having finished the painting I have decided I am not keen on the current gun, so I have scratch built a new one which I will paint tomorrow.

I have added the decals and sponged in metal chipping and dirt.I have added the decals and sponged in metal chipping and dirt.

Just a small update as I now have bits I need to continue. My Cyberpunk miniatures have arrived from Monster Fight Club, and the Hotel sign I need to finish of the outside off my main building is on the way.

So in preparation of continuing with project I created a display board to fit in my shelving unit.

I used blue foam for the base and added thin pizza base foam for the pavements, this was then textured by rolling a ball of scrunched up tin foil over the surface and judiciously applying spots of liquid poly cement to melt in potholes etc, finally some pva glue and sand to litter the edges of the road and add more texture and then painting took about two hours. Once I have enough materials I hope to make a 3x3 board in this fashion.I used blue foam for the base and added thin pizza base foam for the pavements, this was then textured by rolling a ball of scrunched up tin foil over the surface and judiciously applying spots of liquid poly cement to melt in potholes etc, finally some pva glue and sand to litter the edges of the road and add more texture and then painting took about two hours.

I have basecoated the interior of the building and glued all the furniture onto cardboard ready for spraying. I then sculpted two pillows and used some very valuable toilet paper soaked in pva glue to make the sheets and clothes hanging out of draw.I have basecoated the interior of the building and glued all the furniture onto cardboard ready for spraying.

The base colours applied to the building interior next is an array earth shade on all the none black areas then lots of dry brushing and weathering.The base colours applied to the building interior next is an array earth shade on all the none black areas then lots of dry brushing and weathering.

The glue I am using, really good stuff, dries rock hard but gives plenty of time to harden, does not melt polystyrene and dries perfectly clear will be good for water effects.The glue I am using, really good stuff, dries rock hard but gives plenty of time to harden, does not melt polystyrene and dries perfectly clear will be good for water effects.

A ruined building (nightclub) that I built for my SLA project (on hold) that I thought could be dual purpose for The Hot Zone Wasteland at the centre of Night City. I did not like the modular look of the Mantic scenery so I covered the joins with thin strips of card, I think it improves the solidity of the building..A ruined building (nightclub) that I built for my SLA project (on hold) that I thought could be dual purpose for The Hot Zone Wasteland at the centre of Night City.

The first photograph is what I have so far.

The vehicle is from the Antenociti GOT range, it was green on Monday I re-painted it and am now waiting on decals and Then I can weather it down. I plan to get these as well.

I got the plastic version of the H.I.N.T. miniatures, the castings are a bit soft and they do require a bit of cleaning up. But they do paint up nicely. They also have the benefit of being the same scale (32mm to the eye) as the Monster Fight club miniatures.

I went all in for the kickstarter inc two metal armoured police, a superb resin Walker suit, and a resin Police AV (photos to follow inc. a couple of base coated minis, a not Case (“Neuromancer”) hacker and a cool cyber chick, next on painting table).
The game does not look that good will try it, maybe. But I wanted it for the minis and all the floor tiles (also got plastic doors and cyber terminals) to run Cyberpunk Red on.

I also want to get Realitys Edge skirmish rules or create my own around the RPG combat rules.

I have some bits of furniture from TT Combat and I plan to do full interiors to the tall Sarrisa building, I have all the stuff to do the top floor as a hackers den. The rest of the building will be done out as a hotel, may buy an extra floor later, I want a couple of other buildings from this so can add to order eventually (I think my money will be going on the Monster Fight Club minis ( they have 80 minis ready to go) for the near future.

I would eventually like to get these buildings, a lot of money but all pre painted with some interior detail, check out the individual buildings for more photos. All these would require is some weathering and extra detailing.

‘Undertown’ Bundle

A few photographs, I will take some more tomorrow when the light is better.

What I have so far. The large building is a Sarissa Gas Alley building with a few changes it will be a hotel. The smaller building is from Micro Art Studios model. The armoured car is from Antenociti. What I have so far. The large building is a Sarissa Gas Alley building with a few changes it will be a hotel.
