That's amazing! Do you have any pictures of the people closer up or just more pics? It's just dripping with the 70/80's sci-fi movie goodness, and I mean that as a compliment.
"Army-man green is people!"
(ok, not quite your layout's vibe, but I couldn't resist)
I've also been using Rokenbok pieces on some of my recent pieces, but they're not in the pictures above. Most of my pieces are based around either "Dust Tactics Warzone Tenement" kits or reclaimed toys.
Very cool I'm glad I am not the only one out there. Rokenboks stuff is really great. I am also using a fair number of reclaimed toys as parts. I have always admired the war games terrains but the kit prices do keep me out of that area. I think of the Sci fi stuff as a fun hobby within a hobby mostly because there are not many others out there interested in it. But sometimes it really does capture my interests better than the recreation of the absolute real that is so valued in model railroading. Unfortunately I don't have better pictures. That was one of those times I was not documenting everything very thoroughly.
As far as the figures they really were just army guys I cut up with Xacto knives and sandpapered to more interesting shapes. Cutting the brim off a Cowboys ten gallon hat makes them look like a character in a Moebius comicbook.
Yeah for inspriation I was definitely looking at Judge Dredd comics, Cloud City in Empire Strikes Back and Syd Meads Designs for Blade Runner. I dismantled that trailer layout about 5 years ago but someday may revisit it with a better build. I learned a lot by building it and tried some tricky things that did not always work. My craft skills have definitly improved sence then.
I am interested in your city. The mecha part of Sci Fi is not one that I know that well are these recognizable types like Robotech or is it more individual and created by you? the city itself seems old European in some ways and in others overlayered with a military base. Is this right? Are there reasons for this in your created back history for the place? As far as trains what are you going to run. Armored tanks and the like that you make or modified Lionel stuff. The MTH Silver Bullet repainted or the Lionel Phantom would be great fun in a SciFi themed layout.
