I'm going to build a gaming board! (As if the placement of this thread did not make it blatantly obvious
)I am planning to go for a dark, urban, cyberpunk-style with lots of lasered Acrylics as Neonlights and graffitti to add color. Maybe even LED lights in certain buildings.
My inspirations are:
-Ghost in the Shell (manga and original movie)
-Psycho Pass (especially the first Episode)
-Mass Effect: the Afterlife Club, Omega in general and the strip on the Citadel
-the Infinity artwork with the girl asking for contact info (probably my favourite artwork)
I'm not sure if the board is going to be fully or partly modular. One is more interesting for gaming, the other is more interesting/easier to build. I could also do one side more high tech and the other more slum like. Will have to give that more thought.
Immediate things to do:
-acquire a board as base to build on (not yet decided between chipboard or HDF)
-get more mdf terrain (currently two LJ Snack Bars and Microart Apartment 3 Pack)
-finish painting my Laughing Jack Snack Bars to get a feel for the colors (Army Painter Uniform Grey is a bit light)
Will post pictures of the Snack Bar later today or tomorrow, depending on how motivated I am.

) But since my birthday is coming up soon, I might gift myself Satellite Reign. For research purposes.
I became a fan almost instantly. The I encountered an article about a video game called Oni that was described as similiar to GitS and I bought it immediately on release and played through it in maybe two or three sittings. I've always hoped for a follow-up game. I even have sketched out a Yu Jing color scheme based on it.
