Last night, after I finished posting about yesterday's game, I put the finishing touches on another building kit from Atomic Lasercut Designs. This was a blank storefront that I bought a month ago with an eye towards turning it into an automat-style self service restaurant.
The sign out front (and interior art) is all just stuff I grabbed off Google Image Search and mocked up in MSPaint, printed out on the laser printer at my local copy shop. The graffiti decals are from an EBay seller, and the furnishings on the interior are mostly from Oshiro Models, with the booths and arcade cabinet from Miniature Building Authority.
And here's a better look at the drinks cabinet - I used UV resin to give it a "glass" front.
What's next? Well, a buddy of mine is setting me up with some 3D printed modern buildings and street scatter, I have the three gangs of Mafiosos to paint up, and I picked up a set of Mantic street scatter at my local hobby shop yesterday:
I also found out that Harlequin is hosting their next Demo Day event on June 14th...one week after my game at Wargames Among the Warplanes! So it sounds like I should maybe not bother unpacking my car after I get back from WATW...

ReplyDeletethe graffiti really looks cool. damn.
Thank you! The graffiti decals went on so smoothly, no fuss at all.
DeleteHoly Playable Interior Batman! that looks great. 😁
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Stew! I had a lot of fun working on this.
DeleteI really love it! All the details really make this piece awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had a lot of fun planning and executing this one. And there will be more of these over the summer!
DeleteAll very cool Bill - I visited both the supplier links and spent half an hour trawling through all their stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will say that Oshiro's castings seem more prone to air bubbles in the resin, including occasionally large ones, while MBA's resin castings require a more vigorous washing to remove residual mold release agent, and they're still finding their footing with 3D printing bits. Which isn't going to stop me from continuing to buy from both of them!
DeleteI finally figured out by switching browsers I can comment on your blog, Bill! Haha! I love this building - you did an amazing job with the interior.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I'm having a lot of fun detailing interiors and adding little storytelling elements. The next bunch of buildings I've got lined up to paint probably won't get detailed interiors until after my game in June, though, just for time constraints.
