The Masterpiece is my new solo, it consists of many different themed areas including Arabian Village and Western Frontiers. The park is a 180x180. The following shows updates when they happen, so it will be updated everytime i release a screen.
-------------------------------------------
Entrance Plaza - 100%, [no screens]
Main Street - 95%, [screen1]
Western Frontiers - 35% [screen1] [screen2] [screen3]
Arabian Knightmare - 0% [next update]
Tudor Village - 10% [no screens]
Realto Digita - 0% [no screens]
Porto Bravo - 0% [no screens]
unamed area - 1% [no screens]
------------------------------------------
Now, the three screens that start off this new park. All three taken of the Western Frontiers area.
The Chicken Diner and part of the wooden rollercoaster station.
With many tights corners, sudden dips and tons of airtime. This woodie aint for the faint-hearted.
As the train edges out of the station into a surprise drop, you whiz through a 50ft cliff and over a waterfall before climbing the hill into doom....
Thanks. I hope you enjoy this park!
Comments and suggestions welcome.

I think its all good.
But add yellow behind the windows so it looks like theres someone in the building or summin, i think it would go alot better. -

Really nice stuff X. I especially like the 3rd screen, mainly because of the height variation combined with the coaster and architecture. Very cool. Theres a lot of brown, but it doesnt really bother me too much for some reason; I think its the classic / rustic feel that I'm enjoying. Nice presentation too.....I'll have to keep my eye on this one... -

Maintain that level of detail and articulation THROUGHOUT the park and (barring it being too small ) it'll win something. -

I don't really like it.
The foliage looks messy, and there's pretty much no color.
But, on a positive note, the architecture looks decent. -

The architecture forms are ok, the colours work without being impressive, but the level of detail is just fantastic. The only thing that needs work is the foliage, just keep working at it, and don't be afraid to change things if you're not sure about them. -

x, this looks incredible!
The detail is amazing, excellent work.
My only complaint is that the trees in the first screen all look the same green, maybe a bit more variety there. The rest looks perfect! -

1st screen is my favorite, youve really created an atmosphere, thats hard to do especially with such a limited color selection, so good for you. -

Please, more color. The landscaping needs some work as well; contrary to popular belief open spaces are okay. -

It is awesome, wonderful foliage in there, though you never did use my suggestion for the station! I think it would make it look awesome. -

Hello.
Let's look over the checklist...
1. Good ride...check
2. Random treeing...check
3. Decent arch...check
Looks good thus far. I would have to agree with Nem Chris though about the frame colors of the windows.

update:
- Entrance 95%
- Main Street 90%
- Western Frontiers 30%
Quite a bit of progress eh?
--------------------------------------------------
Part of the Main Street that is decorated with red and pearl coloured buildings with shops and certain restaurants. Also notice the famous 'Nemestrinus', an ancient carousel ride that has been installed for many years now...
Thanks and comments more than welcome as always...

It looks ok, but not as good as what I would have thought you to have done. The jungle eating bush type things don't fit. I'm not keen on the mushrooms, if there were more of them, they probably would work. I dont like the Egyptian rocks on the rooves on the bottom left building. The brown things I think would look better with a roof. And I don'tthink the statue in the middle fits. But thats just my opinion. -

Whoa ....I like
What incredible atmosphere this has. Looks very Bijou Magique inspired, which is ok, but I wouldn't get too carried away with that. I love the pool and seating area in the middle. It looks so relaxing and peaceful.
A couple things I dont like; the toadstools; especially that one on the very right. Just out of place to me. I'm also not sure about that white statue in the middle, but I guess it fits....The foliage could use a little more organization imo....
Keep this up, please -

Mmmmmmmm I like this. As Jkay said, incredible atmosphere, well done with that. I think the foilage is a bit weird though, as I see one of those Martian plants over there in the top corner... Also, I agree that the toadstool looks a bit out of place, but perhaps if it weren't surrounded by the greens of the other trees/bushes, it might looks a bit better, because it does go well with the building.
On the whole, this is very well done, and I look forward to another update, which hopefully won't take long because you build so freaking fast.
