Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
^Thank you. I've come across some papercraft buildings in the 1:450 scale as well; I'll have to look into this scale in more detail.
EDIT: Main post updated.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
I printed out a 1:450 scale papercraft office building. I might try to find a way to photograph my S.H. Monsterarts Little Godzilla next to it. The scale makes the characters seem pretty big.Plexton wrote:^Thank you. I've come across some papercraft buildings in the 1:450 scale as well; I'll have to look into this scale in more detail.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
Yes, different figure lines will look better at different scales. There are ways to calculate what is most accurate, but I think most collectors will go with what they think looks good, scale-wise. To that end, photos would be very helpful.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
I will try to get my Little G and a way to post the image out. The office building is supposed to be 12 stories tall.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
I recently purchased the Hawk Wargames city set from my local hobby store. From my initial look, it seems as though the buildings are close to the 1/150 scale, though since it is for miniature gaming it uses a different scale (I compared the doorways, streets, etc.).

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
^Sure. Here is a photo of Godzilla 2000 next to some of the Hawk Wargames buildings:
On the right you can see part of one of the Kato buildings. It's a bit tricky to compare the scale, since the Hawk buildings have some futuristic elements that stand out a bit when compared to modern day buildings. The scales do seem fairly close, however.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
^^ Awesome photo Heath!
I really like the look of Tomix/Kato/Green Max, etc. when used with the Monsterarts, even if the scale isn't technically correct. I have seen these buildings used with larger scale figures as well, so I think it's worth experimenting with different scales to find out what looks best to you.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
^That is very awesome Kong33; it's always a treat to see model buildings that nuanced.
In other news, I've updated the first page with Tamashii's new effects parts, which include Heisei-scale buildings.

Re: City Diorama / Buildings for Kaiju Figures
I am excited for the buildings. They look great. Is anyone else here hoping for a tall buildings set in the future. My only problem is that they won't convey "Godzilla just arrived to raze the town" but that is nitpicky.

Pure insanity ...
There's a totally random Godzilla 64 from the 8" bandai line thrown in for good measure. Probably one of the oldest toys in that set up.
