Well, I have now and I can't say that I'm impressed really.

Some of the city visuals are stunning of course but you don't see enough.

I'm also wary of the proposed live action full film  :?

Each to their own of course  :)

On another note, I've almost got the second flat design done and will be posting at the weekend  :D

cheers

I wasn't hugely impressed myself but it did make me want to watch the original again.

Well you've got to see it for what it is, it's not a big studio trying to make a multi million dollar movie, but a bunch of fans having a bit of fun, don't know what the budget was, but from what I can see the indigogo only raised $3500 of a $7500 goal so, they probably had to cut some corners somewhere. For what it is IMHO it's pretty good, of course with a proper budget and good cast and crew it could have been a lot better, but TBH this looks a lot more fun than anything I've heard about the proposed big budget studio version, this at least tried to stay close to the original with the limited means they had.

Got some primer on the second block and might put some colour on it later this weekend.

The crab is pure whimsy and was bought from Japan specifically to put on one of the blocks  :D It looks a bit more sci-fi than the other ones as well.



And a bit of a 'street' scene. The comms tower has had some additions from an old project at work.



Getting into this again and will have to start on some street furniture and interiors  :D

cheers

James
