Let's make a restaurant!
Website Version



First we’ll start with some land. I used the sand setting, to go with the theme. Themeing is important, for you want everything to match in some way.



Next, we’ll make a foundation using base blocks. I also put in the seating because it’s easier to work around those two things. For this restaurant, I’m going to use mud and a standard wall theme. I also added the benches. To make the 4 benches, you must first map out a grid of fences, and then place each tile of path individually. Next, place the benches and get rid of the fences.



Now we will add color to our seating area to brighten it up. I used aqua and my ‘olive drab’ colors. For those who have seen Thunderhead Island, I used these colors in my ruins area. Here I added some fencing around the foundation and some stairs.



Fourth, I added walls. I also layered the walls with a window and shutters. They both were separate scenery pieces; therefore I was able to add more color. I also added a canopy and a flower box to add some more color. Even though these are different colors, it all seems to fit in.

Here is another view of the above step. Here you can see the flower box, one of my unique and favorite methods.



Here, I added the second story! I added another set of walls and a balcony and a roof, complete with a layer of walls around the base blocks. So far so good.



WOAH! Definitely some changes! I ended up not liking the base block color, so I made it a bit livelier, don’t you think? Don’t get on me about color, I liked it! I also added the roofing, and made it interesting! And the back of the restaurant is here.

And here is the final view of the restaurant complete with limited foliage:



NOTE: This restaurant was not intended for a park, so I did not add enough foliage. I might make it in my newer, bigger, project. *Winks*

Nice tutorial Zero, you have become quite the RCT2 player.

Forgot one thing though; maybe a sign or banner for the name of the restaurant?

Good job, Zero, thanks!
Might come in very handy for many beginners.

To Jazz: Welcome back! Good to see you again (I knew you love this site too much to be able to really leave it, but did not expect you so soon!

And Zero: nice flower-box! I sometimes do something similar with all art-deco blocks, but with the victorian corner it is even nicer , i"ll try that next time.

Thanks Jazz and Emergo. And Jazz, that comment made my day

[Marshy]

Good, but a few more fences and windows would do..

Ahh...reminds me of my old tutorials....and also makes me want to do them again.
