Random words give that authentic '80s anime vibe!

And the final building for this block finished, had a visible printing flaw but it will do for now.

Those buildings look phenomenal! That’s taking 6mm terrain to another level.

Cheers! the quality of the sculpts really help.

Next up, I really want some sweeping highways going through my city. here is my first test, a very obvious flaw in the print, and some very stupid design mistakes (mismatching peg and holes) but I think I am on to something here.

I'm liking this

Makes me think I should've done my Akira project in 6mm

You'd have gotten a lot more city onto the table

I wouldn't have gone smaller than 15mm for that though, 6 is just not suited for character-driven drama.

Neither is 28mm with what I want to do

acme presents a whole new way to bugger up your roads. Curves! I intended to make curvy snaking expressways from the get-go, but the straight section was a better starting point. I'm very chuffed with these, 22.5 degree bend so 16 will give you a ring road. Now for ramps and splits. I should note, I intend these as one direction 2 lane sections. Wide enough to fit most mecha and infantry bases but not huge. A pair side by side would make for a functional highway setup I think?

Yes, I like that

Really, really digging this!

That 'feels' like Japan alright!

That's just because giant robots are wrecking it.

Nah thanks for the compliment! I specifically used satellite imagery of the osaka gate tower to get the curve radius and road with to a realistic level. Not as large as I'd have expected actually! I had it in mind that having anywhere near a half turn of expressway would fill the table by itself.

Oh yeah fitting a mech on top was a core requirement to me! I've been wanting to do a monorail (suspended?) for ages as well but gameplay-wise it would add very little whereas a wider expressway adds interesting play options.

That road is really impressive.
