Luketh: I know this a huge project I am taking on, but I assure you I am planning this thing out much better than I did the first time. As for starting out small, I plan on it. Map #1 and Map #2 hopefully won't be bigger than 100*100. I plan on finishing Map #2 by Easter Monday.

RNRMontuX: Thanks. Glad you are enjoying the project.

coastercrazy: Yeah, as you can see from the earlier screens, nothing was really planned out well, and I would like a fresh start with a better sense of direction.

I posted a screen over at NE for the Fiesta!, so I will also post that screen here.


Here ya go!

Looks different from your other buildings but still cool.

I like it, but as others said at the NE fiesta; you should put some small details under the glass roof to make things look a little more alive than they do. Stations have lots of junk in them: Boxes, barrels, chairs, etc. that you could easily add with scenery just to make things look more realistic down there.

RNRMontuX Thamks. Others have also said that this is a different style for me, but I think it works for what I was going for.

Luketh Thanks for the suggestions. I started adding more details (like supports, roof bracing, planters, etc.) and it is starting to look much better.

Now for the first update in a month. I apologize for the lack of foliage at the moment. Landscape crews are currently working on it at the moment. Thank you for your patience.

Looks cool. I like the western or traditional style it has. Sweet campground.

Thanks, RNRMontuX. However, my computer suffered a fatal crash the other day and I lost everything. So this is currently back on the drawing board and at 0%.

I saw this project over at NE. But being a newly registered member, they don't let me post until approved. Well, what can you do? I'm glad I found it here.

I like the concept of the modular rooms. and I even like the renovated roof of this type. Much better than the original, which I thought was a bit too steep. I like the colors, and the details. I just wish that the arches were a different color so that they would stand out a bit from the background. Nothing "bright and viberant", you got the roof doing enough of that right now, and it's just right if you ask me.

I like the fact that you didn't "cookie Cutter" the back yards so that they all looked the same, creating a sort of "off-set" pattern for the palm trees etc. And that you used real footpath for the decks and balconies was a good design choice, which opened up a new world of textures for the design. The white trim edging between floors is a nice detail.

I just don't know what to make of that strange looking gold zig zag that cuts across the walls and roof. It just looks strange like stacked 1/4 tile roofing. At first I thought that it was a 1/4 height wall. But the texture looks like roofing. Is that just a gap there and no wall? It would look better with a decorative bit of 1/4 height wall instead. So you could create a band of detail running across the upper levels.
