When I saw that corner K'nex piece, a flood of childhood memories came back...

[@fenixmeaney6170]

Same!

[@guessmcguesserson1717]

"Let's build ourselves an oppressive neighbourhood with no personality, designed to suck the life out of you." When you hear something like this, combined with that smile, you know you're in for a treat. Or to run away as fast as you can. Probably both. These are great. Always love me some cyberpunk.

[@SilverIchimaru]

Agreed! I started laughing when he said that.

[@JMcMillen]

Oppressive neighborhood with no personality... sounds like you stereotypical HOA neighborhood.

[@Kezzeract]

Man, the UNATCO theme is so good.

[@torymiddlebrooks]

The windows are incredible. A really nice touch that I haven't seen on other builds.

[@graefx]

I love that the stacking is done without magnets.

[@Jhokalups]

That nesting technique is brilliant!

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Those Mantic Terrain starship doors are lots of fun. I've got a bag of them around here somewhere I've been meaning to use. Another great video, Wyloch! Would not have thought the hab blocks were cardboard at a glance.

[@scottgregory2954]

Agreed... thought for sure they were BBS (big box store) electric junction boxes... Well played Wyloch!

[@FourEyesFive]

I am once again demanding this channel get a bazillion views because this is ART

[@RvnKnight]

Nice "Hackers" reference with the "Hack the Gibson" graffiti

[@zeds.6783]

The volume of these units is impressive. Few things become more repetitive than trying to go through what's supposed to be a 'creative' process but instead becomes simply 'production'. Good job, man. Love the narrated bit at the end. Awesome, as always!

[@dutch6857]

That smirk. "Designed to suck the life out of you". That got an honest to goodness out loud chuckle.

[@Bluecho4]

Ah, the good old hab block. One step up from the sleeping capsule. You really know you're getting up in the world when your lodging doesn't feel like a glorified coffin. Instead, it feels like a glorified mausoleum. Fancy. (This kind of makes me want to revive my old "Techno-Lich" idea. Where a hacker uploads his consciousness permanently to a "Phylactery Server", from which he can direct his replacement robot body/bodies. It would be fitting that a Techno-Lich would be operating out of a neon tomb.)

[@looselycollected7505]

"Polybius was real!" 😂

[@drewbakka5265]

I love this series. I have always wanted to make a cyberpunk board for all sorts of games Ai might be good for making interior Thin Eva craft foam makes good panels too

[@metajock]

I am in awe of this design. So many people putting out really great vids, not often we get a design this original. Big thanks, I've got to do a big batch of these, including closed/boarded up versions and blow up versions of them. Big thanks!!!

[@caledfwlchchime2820]

Your channel is the one that inspired me to start crafting terrain! You make things easy to follow and give beginners a great place to start, and even now that I'm much more experienced, you're still a constant source of craft inspiration and giving me more and more projects to pursue!

[@Blazbaros]

The UNATCO theme was very appropriate XD

[@paulpardee]

Setting aside your amazing artistic vision for the moment - the precision you craft these with is mindblowing! I was sure those were 3D printed when I first saw them because I couldn't conceive of cardboard being cut so accurately to allow for stacking. Maybe with a laser cutter, but not by hand!

[@TimLewallen]

Great work once again. I have NEVER been able to find those hair curlers anywhere I look - Dollar-whatever, Walmart, etc.

[@euansmith3699]

Fantastic terrain and a really cool bit of prose too. 😎👍

[@AmberMarieArtStudio]

I am Loving the cyber punk. Very cool!!!

[@emmamarx9284]

I’m so happy ur doing all these cyberpunk content!! 😊

[@RaVirrTheTrader]

LOVING the cyberpunk series.

[@johnkelley9877]

These habitation blocks look great and having an interior photo really adds to the detail. Thanks for sharing this.

[@buckb6976]

I love the way this turned out... So cool. Great job! Love it so much I'm going to have to try to make one... It'll be a mess but I gotta try!

As always, simply done yet so immersive.Keep on the great work!!!

[@ritinkornas5336]

Veerrrrry cool design! simple but damn efficient. love it! one of your best builds in my opinion :) And the same principle could also be used for non cyberpunk settings like Star Wars legions or so, specially also with also colour. schemes. like you could imagine a beige colour for some desert planet, etc. !

[@cerisekappes580]

Love the build and story 😊

[@demetrinight5924]

I love how modular these are. My first thought was they were 3D printed because of how much they look like plastic stacking rooms that some toys have. Seeing how you made them from cardboard made me very happy. I really love how you built them for a specific setting but they can be used in any sci-fi setting. I could easily see these habitation pods used in Star Wars, any cyberpunk world, and a number of Anime worlds. My mind is swimming with possibilities of an elevator system and many suspended walkways without a railing in sight.

[@edwardhood6252]

Hey Wyloch! So good to see a new video from you, my friend. Keep up the amazing work.

[@manjr]

I can't believe how good those interiors look. Great work!

[@ProjectCambrian]

Hey Wylock! A Thought Occurs!! As an artist myself I have a little experience with Paint Colors and Light. You used a metallic acrylic paint to help Bounce the small LED's light for each cube. Hey its Perfectly FINE, this isn't a Critique, just an offered idea for a Similar build in the future. For the Size and Type of light used per unit, that metallic paint is Insufficient for the Reflection of Light. Reason being the particulate in the paint mixed with Grey, is a Light Absorber More than a Reflector. Instead of Silver Paint, use a Basic WHITE paint. The dollar store stuff is Perfect. On the color scale Black ABSORBS ALL Light. The Silver is a Grey, so Absorbtion of light, which is why even in low light the interiors are a little muted. The Right Paint Color, in this case White, which REFLECTS ALL Light, especially with a few layers of Acrylic which produce that semigloss finish when dried, Adds to the relatively weak light source better. So with White Paint, If your lights have some color options to give a little variety to the units, a little drop of whatever Color to the white paint, so it's the Lightest mix, That Accentuates the Colored Light as Well and brightening that small space with a Properly Diffuesed Lights that the ones you have wired up Pop a little bit more. Its literally just Interior Design Paint Color Basics. Darker Colors have an Impact that makes a Space or Room feel SMALLER. Lighter Colors make spaces FEEL Larger and That's because of how Light Works with Color. Sure for your builds this probably isn't even necessary in any way. Again just a few ideas I've taken into account from past work experiences. And I'm Totally taking this design idea and upscaling it for my project. OH, and for your build, more practical for mine as the units and Illusion is of a larger scale. 3 3/4 inch figure scale, others at 6 inch scale and a few at 12 inch scale. I'm on the second draft of my script for a SW fan film series. And I'm using Every Gag I can think of for all the scaled miniatures etc to pull off a no budget production. And I've gotten a Bunch of ideas thanks to You Wylock as well as Black Magic Crafts to solve a few things. One of which is visiting a habitation/apartment block, big thing. It's a scene opener, authories roll up to a building, get out of their "cars" walk up the steps and into the building and go inside. So I can Cut that down to the miniatures, a R/C car dressed up to look appropriate, and at 3 3/4 inch scale, I can dress my floor and Bookshelf from bottom to top, to look like a scifi Star Wars appropriate apartment building. The slots for my Bookcase Shelf for 3.75 inch action figures can have Two Floors Per Shelf. First floor front unit doors, 2nd floor individual unit room balconies...as it's part of the story to go on one, I need the Miniature units, built in a Similar Fashion to Yours in this video, BRILLIANT by the way, I can just Slide one into a shelf. For Mine I dont have any wiring abilities so I'm FLOOD LIGHTING each Shelf Insert from Within. So My needs to reflect Lights have to be As EFFICIENT as I can get them...using Dollar Store level lights and plug ins etc. Like, So economical i have to think with each builds design, that the uniformity of an Apartment tower Aids in that Light sharing. As each Shelf is self contained I cant, lol Just Yet, connect them. Waiting on Boxing Day for Deals on those string lights that can plug into each other and a wall Outlet and then have it all lit in one shot. And I Gotta dress the Whole Shelf to because of having to dress a few other shelves to look different for other exterior street level and buildings shots when stuff is "flying around". Anyways, I'm happy as always that you Continue to be a source of Fantastic ideas Not just for Tabletop gaming, but they're ideas that are Scalable for Quite a wide range of other creative builds and projects. So Thank You and keep it up!

[@David-Daithi]

Such a great idea, and execution. Thanks for sharing!

[@benjaminjack867]

Love this build! Great techniques to apply to some retro scifi buildings I want to make

[@mindlesstelepathy]

Another awesome build :)

[@ArgentChaosJames]

Another fantastic Neon Skies video, the modular habs are really well done and I like how the windows look.

[@carek99]

These are absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@paddysparlor]

These are amazing Wyloch, can’t wait to get your game in action and make a few of these

[@theredbeardbard]

This is great! Love the concept of the stackable pods.

[@adambusenbark63]

These are really cool! Probably not in my wheel house, I don't tend to get things to look that smooth haha.

[@josray2557]

those are neato... Just showing how fluid you move from medieval to sci fi

[@DanaHowl]

Incredible work as always!!! I learned a lot of great tricks from this one that I hope to use in future builds!!! Awesome video and awesome results, great stuff Wyloch!!!!

[@ElCubodelNarco]

they look amazing!

[@Slydeish]

Your videos NEVER disappoint! Omg.

[@photonfartsqueeze6694]

The build is great, but the writing is what is the real star. I can’t wait to see the finalized version of this ruleset.

I just realized why your city's name is Rook City. Very funny, and very clever sir.

[@WylochsArmory]

Wait, maybe we came up with two reasons....? What's yours.

[@lexj4747]

@WylochsArmory the classic city in the cyberpunk games in Night City, and a Knight is chess piece like a Rook. That's what I thought of anyways.

[@the_Sleepy_Druid]

LOL "Polybius was real" 🤣

Excellent Stuff Bill! Can we talk at some point about a small led driver that specifically/only does "electrical flicker"? Maybe something the exact size of a coin cell?

Just what I need - I'm broke, unemployed, and need to leave the place I live in before the floor collapses.

[@Raycheetah]

It occurs to me that, if you had the right metal-cutting tools (and a taste for the product), you could use SPAM cans to make these modules, and use magnets to stack them. =^[.]^=

[@yugtac]

Bill: I had tried to do something similar with a 40K themed stacking system - did not turn out too well, will retry with your system and see what I can do

[@dartmart9263]

@@WylochsArmory Thank you sir!

[@idiotluggage]

These are great and simple. If you do these again you should curve the apartment picture on the inside to give it a look of depth. How are you going to release Neon Skies? I heard you mention it in another video and was trying to find information on it since you don't have a link in the videos. And then I noticed the link to your website where Neon Skies is at. Thanks. What green stuff roller did you use for the walkways? It looks cool.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx! It'll be a kickstarter, couple months!

[@luapssor]

Grr my terrain list just got bigger now 😂. Where did you get the mini from? Need more cyberpunk minis (the 500gb+ of stls isnt enough).

[@alexknight355]

Hey wyloch big fan of what you do. I fell out of the hobby for a while and recently started getting back in but I noticed the first few of your videos are gone. Were these replaced since I watched you last and if so which videos replaced them and have the dimensions. Thanks in advance and thank you for being such a great resource in the hobby

[@WylochsArmory]

Heya, I Unlisted them but if you go to my Playlists - look at the playlist called All Crafting Tutorials. You can find every single video there, even the hidden ones. (those early ones kinda suck)
