hey guys,
I haven't been around, but I'm back for a bit, :)
So for a while I have been wanting to build a mr rogers-esque neighborhood more my 1/18th scale figures, you know something for them to fight over and for the occasional dio. Its also a goal of mine for the little boy(and girl) to eventually play in it with their toys...maybe they won't be raised on war and battle like I was, :)
So anyway, my first project: a bank, at least the front steps of a bank. I have a few cop customs and more than a few villains to show it off with.
Yesterday, I disassembled and sanded the base model, today I primed, painted, and sealed the model, I just need to do some touch up and then reassembly. This first project is a pretty simple one, but I figure it'll be good for getting me going.
I should be able to post pics by the weekend, I would post them, now, but I hate WIP shots with no follow up, :)
-
Cool, post pics when you got stuffs going, it should be cool.
-
I'll go ahead and post...with another project.
A fairly simple repaint....the hardest part was sanding all the logos and stuff off, that took about two hours...and I didn't show the detail in this shot, doh!

I really think I saw someone do this exact thing a few years ago on one of the joeboards....counting the sanding of two hours, this took about 3 hours, :)
I still need to do touch up and detail painting, and finish the logo on the banner, :)

Very cool! What line is it from?
-
thats cool man

oh man, I know I'm gonna regret saying this....its the Lil Bratz Lil high School, I picked it and the mall up a few years ago, a lot of cool dio stuff in it.
I also have their mini cooper...crap, its like a confessional.
-
haha, its cool to have an eye for things with potential. I almost bought a Dora the explorer house at the flea market but I just don't have room for it. You have really turned it into a cool piece. I hope we get some pics where we can see it better.
-
LOL! There's NO reason to be embarrassed about that, because that's incredible foresight! IT looks good, so I can't wait to see this city come about!
-
Yes, Simon! My appetite is officially wetted now. Bring on that city, buddy.

Why be embarised, JC showed that the bratz mall can be used fairly effectivly.
-
The Polly Pocket line has loose detail bits that work in our scale, too.

I remember someone made a very very cool mall out of the bratz mall set...I just don't know who.
Oh well, by the time I'm done...I'll have...umm, well....3 bldgs, lol.
I need a grander plan, :)
-
You need a coffee-shop. Or a bistro.

yeah, I'm working on it for xander, maybe not a town, but a street of buildings. The ones on the back row will be very limited, but the ones in the center should be more playable.

Mate what a great find and nothing wrong collecting girls stuff especially if it's going to help in your hobby, I always look at the girls section to see what I can find especially for my 1/6 stuff.
And welcome to ISY mate, the guys/gals here a top notch people.
