"If you want something done, do it yourself."
- Unknown
After desperately searching for sci-fi street props, I resorted to make my own. These are the first papercraft models I ever made, but luckily I already had some experience in 3d modeling so this wasn't too difficult. I'm still no artist though, so texturing is always a problem. Having everything in b&w certainly helps ;)
Bus Stop Shelter
This is actually from WWG's Street Props set. I just added two custom posters, bonus points to you if you can make out the homages, at least the one visible here should be obvious to all cyberpunk fans :)
Street light
I'm very happy how this turned out, with nice gritty textures and the warning stripes that every sci-fi scenario seems to have in abundance! ;)
The design is also pretty ingenious (shameless self promotion here), it breaks down into three parts for easy storage, and most importantly, a small magnet can be inserted (and removed too) that slied through the pillar to the base, this way the whole streetlight can be attached to another magnet which is inserted into the ground tile. Should someone bump into the prop during play it will not fall over and in fact the tile with attached prop can be tilted 90 degrees sideways without coming off. Maybe I'll detail this system further in the future.
Fast Food Vendor & Garbage pile
I took some inspiration from the asia food vendor from Balderunner when designing this, but it came out generic enough that it can be used in modern scenarios as well. It needs texturing of course, and I plan to add a big chinese dragon sign on top.
The garbage piles are my favourite prop, it helps clutter up the scenery and they look great in alleyways or just besides a building. Container is from Mega Miniatures and garbage cans are customized WWG items (the original ones are far too large).
Billboard & Power Converter
The billboard is meant to have a concrete or metal base and a big holographic projection with a possibly animated advertising. Works great as cover!
The Power Converter is just something I made up, I wanted to have an interesting looking mdeisum sized structure. It could be anything really.

Info Terminal
As seen on various Shadowrun rulebook (2nd and 4th edition I think), this is supposed to be a small computer terminal or ATM machine mounted to a central column with a small roof for protection from the acid rain. More terminals can be mounted if desired. It could also be a telephone/vidphone, but I have some dedicated phone booths in the works. Still needs texturing ;)
