A Virtual Tour of 1:18th Town: Part 3
« on: May 19, 2011, 10:27:50 PM »


For years I have been asked to give some more details of the town in which my webcomic Scale Wars inhabits.  So for this years 3rd Anniversary I thought I would finally break down and give a virtual tour of the sets and playsets that make up 1:18th town and Scale Wars.  

Part 1 begins with the comic shop which has been relitively the center of the town since the begining of Toxie's Universe all the way into Scale Wars.  

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to keep tuning in everyday in May for the celebration of 3 years of Scale Wars fun as the countdown to the Anniversary day of the 28th continues.

WOW! that looks like a real film set! It's great to see a behind the scenes shot of this iconic location. I'm looking forward to seeing more...will we see some of the characters backstage too?

You know I'm a sucker for "behind the scenes" stuff!  Very cool start to the series.  And that dumpster/skip is wonderful.  I knew the detail on this was great - but I've never realized just *how* detailed it really is.

Thanks, like I said just never found a way in story to reveal the dumpster LOL.

Very cool, I have been working on a similar, those less complex idea.  I am trying to make mine a playset by recycling old sets...not as easy as I would have thought.

Any notes on construction or WIPs?

That was awesome, Zed! I too have always been a fan of miniatures  and home made dioramas ever since my first trainset. The detail shown here is just the amount of realism for what you do and the interior of the comic shop is full of the little details that make our hobby so special.

more please...........

That movie rental store and comic book shop are top notch!  Glad to see netflix hasn't run at least one movie rental out of town...
