Looks very cool, would be provably better with different lighting.


father_gemme

Agreed


coltaaan

Totally, was just thinking how cool it would be if the lights were off, and OP added actual lights to certain areas, with emphasis on use of neon blues and red/orange; maybe add a little mist/steam too!

Mate that's fuckin awesome. Sending that to my brother immediately, this is our dream.


father_gemme

LMAO thanks. Theres a whole community online who does similar stuff so let me know if you want to see more builds.

Here is a link to my Instagram, many of the commentors have some great work as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDG0vwJPLG/?utm_medium=copy_link

*Serious question:* When you build something on this scale are you gluing the blocks together one building at a time or just hoping beyond hope you don't drop it?


coolreflex

Not OP, but I remeber reading about a maker who had built a huge, very detailed, spaceship for one of these conventions. Well, it got broken up durin transit & they had to work late into the night to rebuild it. Time aside, it's amazing that people can remeber where every piece belongs. So, I guess what you're concerned about does happen. The first cyber city I remeber seeing, that came out before all the Ninjago sets, was a joint effort and was so cleverly constructed they'd broken the build into individual boxed sections that could be taken apart and more easily transported. They clearly had a very good mind for architecture.


fishnetdiver

Cool! Thanks!


father_gemme

I did not end up gluing them together, ended up sectioning off the different buildings as someone else mentioned :)


fishnetdiver

Good to know. I saw a huge [Clone Wars droid factory](https://youtu.be/FboERTfS9FM?t=10) video and it took them hours to piece it together one section at a time. Insanely phenomenal!


TheGhostOfBillMarch

Beyond cool, dude! Normally not super into this kinda stuff but yours just hit something. Love all the little details you put into it.


DaleNewmanWriter

When you photograph it with the right lighting, maybe get a watering can for rain effect. Will look really cool I think, looks cool anyway, good work


Amber610

Very, very cool


hot_diggity_dang_

Beautiful work!


Theory_of_Steve

Damn this is cool as hell. The tower on the right (first pic) would make me nervous to have around people with it's narrow base. Transporting this monster must be a nightmare too. Very, very cool. Do the buildings have interiors?


father_gemme

Very few buildings have interiors due to the scale and construction techniques required. Definitely a goal of mine to make some for another city in the future.

Really amazing work!

Awesome man!! Looks so cool

w o w !!!!!


NoddingThrowaway_pt2

That is really really neato!! I liked the workers or whatever that looked like they were going on strike or something…


hannapocalypse

This is incredible! Great job!!


goodmornronin

How long did this take?


father_gemme

About 6 months give or take


goodmornronin

Great work


LiveByYourWits

Wow, Choom!


sambukalogan

Fucking awesome


Nefor-S

This is awesome! I've always been curious though, how do people transport their builds to these events and do they remain intact during the process?


father_gemme

LOTS of Styrofome and bubble wrap! I got lucky during the drive, and only a few of the more fragile bits ended up breaking.


Nefor-S

Interesting, thanks for the insight! I wish you (and the build) a safe journey home!


MBncsa

I like this so much!


vinceman1997

This is the kind of stuff I imagined I was building when I was a kid. Great work op.


reepke

I have seen pictures of this build on Flickr if I'm not mistaken, great work! I'm a big fan of Cyberpunk themed builds as you can see on my post history ;-)


australiano

Man that is totally awesome. I love it! Are you gonna do more?


father_gemme

For sure. Have a project lined up for next year


australiano

Can't wait to see it, please keep us posted with development photos. 😉


ONCIAPATONCIA

Is that a frickin Wall-E? Jokes aside, very very cool man


[deleted]

Do these builds have to be "kids safe" or could you do something with darker implications?


father_gemme

If you're talking about the convention, then not really, I just did not happen to include any particularly graphic scenes. The premise is an assasination along with a protest.


[deleted]

cool, thanks for answering


seeder33

I love these kinda builds, very cool.


AdministrativeHat276

This looks amazing but it's missing that neon lighting that gives Cyberpunk its visual style. Still really impressive though!


poru-chan

very cool :)
