Cyber Punk Police Vehicles

Well these have been a long time on my workbench while I worked through a few ideas on how to finish them. I have taken the photos using my iPhone and feel they look a little bit washed out. They look much better on my table in the games room.

The two bikes were converted from a flying bike made for a Movie. What Movie? I cannot remember as I threw the packaging away months ago. The wheels were copied using Blue Stuff from a toy car. These were inspired by Judge Dredd in case it is not obvious. The Police figures are from West Winds Road Kill range with some Greenstuff added on the helmets. The two Cars are from Scotia Grendal with the light bars taken from some toy cars. I'd like to add some decals on them but there is not much spare surface space to work with.

Railway People

This is not my idea as I first saw this done on Lead Adventure on a Judge Dredd thread. In Reality's Edge there is mention of using crowds of Bystanders to block line of sight and hinder movement. I have only done half the figures I have collected for this as I was impatient to get them on the table to see how effective they are. I also kept forgetting to take some photos and should have posted them a lot earlier on the Blog. These are 1/48th scale railway figures bought from Ebay. The Frosting caused by Super Glue is not really visible when the figures are on the table.

TT Combat Comms Tower

I saw this on sale recently and thought that the style would fit with my scenery. I worked out by the dimensions that it should work out ok with the walkways and would fill an area I talked about on an earlier post. 

I thought that it looked a bit plain and was not too impressed by the unsightly joints so added a bit of spare MDF to improve it. I also found that each floor seemed to be progressively out of level by about 4mm at each floor. The top floor was ok but the others needed correcting. One floor I left as is but the lower two had the locating tabs removed at the front and glued without them. I did not like the dishes either so fortunately my partner had been giving me some disks from Gherkin Jars which looked much better. When I get a fourth one I will fit that as well. The centres were made out of floss sticks but I have bent one twice before even doing any gaming with them so may trim them down.

This is quite tall so was difficult to photograph.

I also added a couple of pieces of MDF so I could fit a walkway to them. This was made from some EDS (?) scenery which was supplied with the wrong mix of parts so I did not mind cutting them up for this.

There were five signs so I used them on other parts of my terrain.

I had also undercoated the Water Pistols but when I looked at them later I saw that I had not filled the screw holes, and thought that I had been lazy not doing more than adding the cooling fans at the top. So then added some pipes on two of them. The other two I think are ok after filling the screw holes with wooden dowel.

I found the Grey Board supplied was missing some of the signs which I have painted in West Ham colours. I cut and fitted some plain card to mimic them. The etched detail did not come out at all so I may find something to print and glue over them. The figure I have used is going to be repainted as Deckard (Harrison Ford). He may need a new gun though.

Cyber Punk Terrain - Utility Walkway

I think I may have mentioned that this was originally made with Necromunda in mind, but I decided to use it for my Future Wars collection. I have been doing some reading about Judge Dredd and really like the backstory on that. My Future Wars collection started as a German based theme with my Copplestone Police. I now see this Terrain as part of the services required for one of the large Habitation Blocks. Not everything can be built underground so this one is above ground. The reason for the large Hazard strips is that the pipes are filled with Toxic or other unpleasant waste matter. It would be unwise for a flying vehicle to crash into them.

I have used posters I found on the Cyber Punk Facebook page and some other places on the net to decorate the structure as it looks a bit bland otherwise. The Towers are made from Pringles Tubes, the pipes are some plastic tube I found somewhere, and the walkways are some recycled parts with Granny Grate. there are still plenty of unpainted items to paint. I will tackle doing the Water Blasters next once I finish the building I bought two weeks ago. 

Reality's Edge, Cyber Punk Rules

Oh so I have started something new, what a surprise?

Actually this is a logical progression for my Necromunda and Future Wars Collections.

I have fallen out of love with Necromunda and had stopped working on my Terrain for that as I really did not want to make everything I had collected rusty and wrecked looking. The idea was to get as many levels as possible but I did not want to have walkways with out any purpose like you see so often in some of the MDF setups for Necromunda.

 I had always been looking for a good set of rules for my Future Wars figures which I suppose is Cyber Punk anyway. So far I have been reading the book which seems quite straight forward and simple to use. I will need to paint up some new items for this but as I bought some Sci-fi Robots from a Kickstarter I won't need to buy much. Vehicles may be harder to find however.

The table I set up for Necromunda has been sitting idle for awhile while I struggled with ideas and enthusiasm. However with the new set of rules I started to add some Cyber Punk type items like Mantic Sci-Fi doors and then added some buildings. I also took away items which looked out of place. I then added a few figures and took some photos. Much of what you see is still a work in progress and not likely to be finished anytime soon. I think it would be difficult to go bigger than a 6x4 table as access to some areas would be impossible.

Power Station

Bloody Hippies

As myincubus asked, there are cut down Water Blasters as power plant type towers. The Maglev trains are tanks also from the cut down Water Blasters.
