looks like a nice project.  :)
only 1 remark : too much airco units for my taste.
(at least that's what I presume they are ?)
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Looking good for a sketchup, I had to google Biongo Cola though ;)

I like the idea of fighting in a dried riverbed, you can also put lots of 'bottom of the river' crap in it:






The one with the bikes is typically Dutch ;)

Apart from the nice looking terrain, what's a cola factory doing in a river bed after the apocalypse? Or was it meant to have been there before the apocalypse as well? That would explain the pillars of course.

A dried up riverbed full of trash is an awesome idea!  :)

it is, but not really playable! maybe is better a flat river bed with some disposable scenics on it!
