it's heard to judge big structures by screens but it looks good so far. noy sure about the colors though but all i have to base that on is this one image i could find.

It seems to be a very bland / plain screen... the only thing that seems interesting is the arch with the glass, which is accurate based on the image. However, it lacks a lot of color and detail, and it seems quite boring with nothing really eye-catching.

it's realistic; realistic stuff, or at least real-life stuff, is usually kind of bland. You don't need to walk into a train station to comment on details, you go to a train station to get on a fucking train.

Ack. It does need more detail, and as King's Cross is pretty detailed Victorian architecture, you shouldn't have a problem finding details to implement.

For example, the false windows on the columns, and that glass arch could be better done (with the smaller glass grid walls and something to emphasize the vertical mullions). Both details derrived from chaplez's tiny picture. (also note the different levels on the lower roof...)

Not meaning to be overly critical, but large scale buildings need details to make them worthwhile.

Oh, and I'm very interested in how you will do the station halls...

It's boring. I just think it's a bad screen shot.

When comparing it to its real-life counterpart, I can't say this is too bland. It looks nice and pretty accurate to the actual structure. You could do so much more with it if you could build more on the diagonals but you can't help that. Nice stuff

I like it, because it looks similar to the real one, but, as other members said, it's a little bland.

Update 18-10-2006

New screen

"The Burrow (home of the Weasley's) and the ride called "The Weasley Tour"


Enjoy

Cool shit! But something about the atmosphere is kinda "dry" looking (maybe it's all the pine trees). I'm not sure if you're going for this or if that's what the movie's like or if that's just what the screen's like, but that's what it appears like to me.



I will comment that everything captures the feel of what everything from the book would really feel like, and you've done a good job with creative rides and very creative architecture (the 1/4 tile windows are a really nice touch). Props.

Hmm, I thought Weasley's home was in wood... Anyway, it is looking nice right now.

Before reading what it was, i could tell. I like the way you thinking about it that makes a good park
As i remeber in the film the house is next to a river/lake? Very nice right setting.

The only thing i would change is make the cars blue like the flying car??

I think it's teh materials used that lower the atmosphere. The form of it is great and i love the chimney.

Interesting ride idea as well, look forward to hearing more on that.

I think the windows are to big, and they should definitely not be blue.
oh... and the room above the red roof has no floor!
and you could use more wood for the walls ect.
why do you always have two doors next to each other? looks a bit stupid.
Altogether it lacks that Weasly-atmosphere
yet it is quite recognisable because of the cool shape etc..
if you add more chuddliness to it, it will be great.

Don't like the blue doors.
Nor the bambo poles, but it's okay.
BTW, it's 18-10-2006 today ^^

definitely change the glass on the Weasley house to gray-it will blend better with the other colors. Also, the red pyrimidal roof I don't think should be pyrimidal, but instead conform with that back wall part (unless that's how the building appears in the movie).

Other than that, it looks great, although I wish I could see what that coaster looks like.

I hope I spelled 'pyrimidal' right. It just doesn't look right.

I like it...
I like the fact that the atmosphere is Harry Potter-ish. Don't you think that there are too much ferns on the lake coast?...oh, and I agree with Leighx about the color of the cars.
The building is nice, I don't really have any complaint with it. Good to see that you're using well your creativity. Keep going.

The dryness that people claim is something that really works, I could easily tell what this was before I read your post. Great work Tom

wub ya.

Seems too nice to be the Weasley's house. It'd make it seem a little more run-down and like a home if you you used wood or something. Still, nice work.

It is dry as said before but how ever I do find the screen intresting. I also like how you use the free-fall coaster cars. Damn, it don't seem that long since last time you posted a screen. Its nice to see that its still going.

looks Harry Potter-ish, but doesn't look very much like The Burrow, IMO. And there are too many ferns at the lake shore, as RCFanB&M said.
