Hooray, so far so good! It may be a bit of information overload...but here is a massive blog with some unusual pics: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/12/ca...y-futurism.html

if you put in fascist, or conical or sinister, or city hall, you generally get a kind of stripped back neo classicism, with few windows, those that exist must be massive. along with a massive portico entrance (suits me as its less work and will contrast with the fiddly tower behind

i noticed the prevalence of cathedrals in the search, many beautiful, but a very fine line between the religious and fascist architecture on certain levels!!

made me thing we need a corporate identity, a brave new world type statue or something to inspire the workers
Stripped back neoclassicism...massive portico entrances? Fascist architecture?

Have you seen these videos on YouTube?

Mahvelous, simply mahvelous! The vehicles are looking wonderful.

Perhaps the incredibly rare and valuable Citroen Taxi can be given a splash of non-colour...in a Death Race 2008 manner...

Actually, I have enjoyed the rule breaking with regards to scale etc. My own projects haven't come to fruition because an almost obsessive/perfectionist attitude towards detail and scale. Your approach to track building has loosened me up quite a bit and I'm back in business...and up to my elbows in paint, metal, putty and all of those other goodies.

As you have probably guessed...manitouguy and myself are urban futurist fanatics. My first thought was perhaps a wall of apartment/condos similar to a science fiction version of Kowloon's Walled City facing inwards which will allow for multiple and controlled light sources.

I could only avert my gaze for so long! Very nice but my brain has been totally corrupted...in a good way!
