The elevated expressways could be used for Dredd too.

Yeah, not doing Dredd

I loved the look of MC1 in the Stallone version. Shame he took his helmet off...

Spectacular!

Love Akira. I watched it the first time as a teenager on video on a Friday night, and on waking the next morning went right back and watched it again. Read the manga years later when Dark Horse put it out in 6 volumes. It's amazing how epic. After seeing the movie (which was made only part way through the manga) you think where else could it go? But the manga keeps escalating and keeps rolling out oh damn and holy &*#@# moments right through.

Many novels and movies seem self contained, in that they have an arc and stories outside that arc need to be fit in carefully, start a new age, or what not. The world wasn't constructed to exist in a world of serial stories. With Akira, I feel that gaming it and keeping the momentum, and keeping the balance between human scale moments and epic city-destroying events would be a real challenge, but possible in the right hands.

At any rate, amazing city! I just found the thread and would like to come back to this. Tons of inspiration. Hope you have endless fun living the dream playing in your city!

I'm starting on a city environment I've been planning and collecting and making a few inroads in for a few years now, and am moving to a new place this summer where I'm finally going to have a space large and permanent enough for me to go full bore with the city building. Fires are stoked!

Oh, you bugger!
I cannot unsee that image now!
HELP!

Your fault in the first place. Don’t worry though as I will remind you from time to time to keep the image fresh and not forgotten

The Akira manga is full of great stuff. I've only got a couple and keep meaning to get the rest but normally forget

Good luck with you city, post some photos when you can

That was great

The music was good enough on it's own, I'll have a look to see if there's any more.

Looking good, though I'd echo those concerns about playability, that road bridge is great but it'll be a pain in the arse to move figs under it, especially after a few beers

I'm guessing you know it's from the 2nd bladerunner film right.

Great set up mate! Very evocative!

Btw a Karl Urban style Dredd would fit in there perfectly!

mkultra99 · « **Reply #207 on:** June 28, 2019, 02:59:53 PM »

Superlative! It reminds me of a particular XCOM2 map.

Dentatus · « **Reply #208 on:** June 28, 2019, 03:46:21 PM »

Fantastic set up. Really well done.

Wrists will be severely slapped if anything gets broken (although it’s usually me that breaks things

)

Never seen the second one and had no idea. Will look for the soundtrack now

That’s a good idea and DREDD is a great film
