Schwing!

Looks amazing Si, love all the details!

+ The big steps, using the 1/8 deco blocks i think (at least that's how i do them)
+ The disabled ramp albeit very steep but not much you can do about that.
+ Raised flowers on the purple bits.
+ The cadbury sign!
+ The colours all work, even the pink flowers
+ Speakers which i've literally just noticed whilst writing.

Awesome.

- The supports holding teh awnings look too thin and would be blown away if someone breathed. I suggest cantilevering them or havign 1/4 awnings instead.
- In reality i think the monorail supports could work with the right materials, i think its the game objects you've used (representing wood) gives the impression of something to flexible to hold up the concrete monorail let alone the trains themselves. I'm not sure what to suggest but give it a bit more thought and you'll crack it.

Additionally i agree with Metro, Tracid and RCfan that not every building is used as a building and can be seen in a lot of theme parks. Buildings are there to add emphasis on the story and, in context, make it more believable. It would ahve been nice giving some constructive crit rather then just posting negatives.

Good God, That's incredible. So many details packed into such a small building. That picture is so good, I think I'm going to capitalize the pronouns that describe It.

I just wanted to add that I think you are just a tad off with those monorail supports. The main support pole going down to the ground on each support might be a little thin, but the basic shape of the overall support is dead on. So I think they just need a little tweaking.

^that's been stated at least four times now...

Actually it hasn't been stated at all. Most people suggested a total redesign, I just suggested a slight change. Its all about the subtleties in life

oh, yeah, well... I meant the support thing

omg i missed fiesta... thats bad lol. So to make it up, here is a late 'Easter Fiesta' screen.

This is part of the Cadbury area as usual, it is the 'creme egg factory', where Cadbury Creme Egg's are made, guarded by a huge giant random chicken thingy. The orange/white targets on the side of the building are meant to be eggs splatted on the side of the wall. Not sure if its obvious though lol..
Progress is extreeeeemly slow, and i think Tyandor has it now- so its definitly not gonna get any quicker... =P



Any comments will be eggcellent.

(Permission to shoot me for that^ lame joke...)

-X-

That joke bought the whole post down


Seriously though, it has a great vibrant atmosphere, which you'd expect from Cadbury, and that chicken is a great idea, and well executed. The targets aren't obvious as eggs, but once you know, you understand it (obviously).

Looks great though, and the multi-coloured smoke rocks.

i like the concept for creme egg factory.
it's a little wacko and complicated, but well, it's a concept. at least someone builds with thought. and it works the way you pulled it off.
well done.

Loving the chick... Is this suppose to be an entrance to a ride or just a store for Cadbury's chocolate.... although KINDER's eggs are better.

Its better looking the CATCF. That's good. However it contains potassium nitrate. That's bad.

Why did you turn the chicken head round?

Any way you could get rid of the wood base under the Chicken Stall? Possibly by raising the land under it, zero clearance, then bring the land back down..

^^lol I noticed that myself. I like how you fixed the stall, but I agree with ChillerHockey33 with the base.

Oh, and is that skeeball I see?

I dunno X, that joke wasn't all it was cracked up to be... should have been more eggciting.

(*dodges thrown object*)


Anyway, moving on. I like that last screen. It's colorful yet factoryish and that smokestack with the colored smoke is awesome. I like the little things like the skeeball and chicken feet as well. And do I see a half of a flying saucer car on the left edge? Nice job and can't wait to see more see this finished.

lmao @ the custom Chicken...

Looks great, I love the ideas behind it

Wicked idea with the creme egg factory and that chicken is really cool. Not sure about the entrance to the building. I think it should be grander and more noticable to guests. And those "egg splatters" don't really work, maybe they should be at more irregular intervals.

Metro

Its different and well, creative. Nice work X.

lovely, X. Lovely.

I like the chicken
Only thing I'm puzzled about are those targets on the shop.. Not sure what they add to it..
Otherwise it's a nice colourful screenie..
