It's so full of life and atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there's something happening yet it's all nicely spaced out and doesn't feel overwhelming. Fantastic work.
Wow! This is really excellent - love stuff like this, it's exactly my type of style.
The atmosphere and overall composition is incredible, and all the details, of which there are a ton, are pulled off perfectly. Love the umbrellas on the left side, nice touch to have them hanging like that. I also think it's hard to make the vanilla twist ride look good, but here you pulled it off perfectly, it just looks great in that purple together with its surroundings. And overall, your color choices are sublime, as usual. Bold and quite varied, but never off. Can't see anything that I'd change, it all looks beautiful. Only thing is perhaps you could add in just a few more path objects. Great job!!
@G Force... yeah there are 5 large coasters and a couple more smaller coasters. Louis helped me with the coaster layouts, so they're actually not half bad... I just hate building supports so I haven't posted any screenshots yet
This is filled with so many great little details, as your work always is. Everything is laid out with immaculate precision with not a barrel, boat, or purple crop out of place. You've even found several appropriate uses for the pirate rigging wall, which most NCSO builders throw by the wayside. I'm very interested in seeing where that wooden track between the staircases goes.
Color-wise, I think there is room for improvement. Several of the buildings in this screen do not pop the way they could--particularly the purple-roofed one in the center--because their walls are essentially the same color as the path. Some of the shape and sense of vertical space is lost as a result, and these structures are much too good to just let them blend in with the path around it. Instead of light brown, white, gray, salmon, or "casual" brown would improve the readability without sacrificing the powerful contrast that only a majestic BSG roof can provide (do not change anything about those colorful roofs).
That gray and brown stone building near all the food stands may benefit from a 90-degree rotation of the wood planks on the balcony so as to avoid an "Escherian" effect with the nearby bridge. It's also a great use of what I believe is the Fisch arch stacked on top of itself to create a uniquely medieval door shape. I'm definitely excited to see which other CS objects you've found interesting uses for!
NEDC5 got me building again, so I've almost finished up this area, a trade center for Quinlan's world. Airships, canoes, wagons and dragon riders travel vast distances to buy, sell and trade goods in this quaint trader's corner.

Just got a new laptop, the image came out a little fuzzy for some reason. Sorry, I'll see if I can fix it.
Or maybe not, I can't tell, it might just be the new screen, Let me know in your comments if the image quality looks off. Thanks
