I am really impressed by the lane trackers! They turned out fantastic for such simple techniques and materials! (The arrows, especially. In the thumbnail image I thought you had illuminated those, too!)
The pink and blue car was best, I think it was because it kind of had shading. Would have been cool to see some inks/shading whatever on more of the cars just to add some depth beyond flat paint. Regardless creative and cost effective solutions as always, love your videos looking forward to having a hard cover book one of these days as well!
Very cool, and highlights that little *extra* you can make for your character to really punch up the involvement in the game. One of my favorite parts of Neon Skies is the vehicles, and being able to kit your character out with a car that really speaks to them is all the better (no matter the scale~).
I had been eyeing those cars every time at the hardware store, thinking they were too big for gaslands. But for RPGs, brilliant! Thanks for the project inspiration.
Fabulous! I've been raiding the local thrift stores for couple of years. They typically have two or three in a bag for 5 to 6 bucks. Several boxed and waiting for a project... Cyberpunk and Post Apocalyptic.
When customizing vehicles like this, I prefer to use polystyrene sheets over cardboard. Pricier, but looks a lot better, and you can do a whole lot of custom jobs with a $3-$12 variety package.
That Continental's paintscheme reminds me of one of the other cars you can find in 2077, tho I think in that case it was one of those mock limos with six wheels. Either way, you get ahold of it beating up this Valentino punk in the boxing side hustle, so it stands out.
Pretty sure at this point you should be thinking of starting a Public Access tv show inspired by Bob Ross's Joy of Painting and call it "The Joy of Cardboard".
Cool build! I literally just finished making some road tiles for gaslands using cork sheets as well. Even though I covered them with a coat of mod podge mixed with black paint, then painted layers of grey on top of that, when I use some paint and water wash like yours. But it never seemed to do much so I added more and same thing again, did it a 3rd time. Turned out that the water seeped through the cork somehow and there were puddles of dirty water under my tiles on my tabletop. Ugh. My lines didn't come out as nice as yours, alot of paint got under my tape somehow, even though I pressed it down really hard. Ah well. I don't suppose you have links for those motorcycle STLs? I was searching around for those cybepunk like ones and can't seem to find them.
No matter what plastic I use that rustoleum spray paint on it's sticky for hours, sometimes days. Has anyone else used the same brand and run into that issue? Even if it stays inside it's just sticky for what seems like way longer than it should.
@WylochsArmory It could be. I've tried in Hawaii and Washington state so humidity could definitely be a factor. It works great for chipboard and cardboard so I always have it on hand for terrain. Using it on larger minis though, just seems to stay super tacky for a long time
Very cool! I did a large set of these in 1/64 scale for "Gaslands" a couple of years ago...exactly like this. Great stuff!

A rubber eraser usually helps remove masking fluid without issue, depending on the masking fluid brand. If you want to test it out again.

Pretty cool. Though I miss your fantasy BG type builds. Guess I'll have to go rewatch those again. Keep up the cool work!
Plenty more coming!

Good to see you having fun during the headache of printing.
The models and roads look rad to the max.
Such a handy tool for gaming and looking good
Really enjoying the Neon Skies content. Keep it up!!
Idea for a future video. Magnet tiles to make a building and other terrain. With the lighting that you use would look amazing. Give it that neon look
Wow, what a find. Those cars would be great to modify in a gaslands like way to then use minis in a mad max style too.. 🤤

So cool, i love the vaporwave car
You should send one of your cars to 3dbotmaker and have them race them
Good job on osl. I thought you had actually gone with LEDs under the streets.

Sooo good. Love it!
More places to find this scale cars: Hobby Lobby, and Loves truck stops.

I've had more fun kit bashing all my Neon Skies campaign! Just finished a road....now cars yes! 🏎️

I am partial to the 6000 SUX.
Have you considered a cricut to make exact stencils? Probably a lot quicker unless precision measuring scratches a certain itch.
Yeah but this channel is aimed at ease and cheapness. Not everyone will be able to get a cricut.
I don't suppose you have the name of the company that made the cars? I've been struggling to find stuff for the right scale in the UK.
4:49 My man accidentally invented the CyberCar. Elon pay up!
Alphanumeric!

Really?? That's bizarre, I think I've only ever had sticky problems with it over rubber. Plastic has never been a issue. Climate?

2:33 wait, there's a gay maid in the back of the book?
Try to find something on one of the 3d model sites for that blocky look you want.
Great video!
