put some blocks behind the windows on the rooves in the bottom screen though. also, edit them in picassa or photoshop or something, paint screws it up

I love it all, except for the roofs top-right in the first screen.

Missing view deco pieces throughout the screens, but I'm guessing that's just a zero clearance away.

THIS IS DISNEY!

I LOVE YOU FOREVER

It looks really good aesthetically, but for some reason the screens feel really lacking of life to me, and I'm not sure why.

So good to have you back. The screens are fantastic and look like you've up-ed your game a little, which is crazy considering your already high level.

I smell spotlight.

the crates in the last screen look like they came from zoo tycoon..

only flaw that I had while looking at those screens, I can't wait for more.

So how much of this is original compared to recreation?

Thanks, ya'll.

Could be the darker colors of the area. I don't know.

So how much of this is original compared to recreation?

I wouldn't call it a recreation at all but I am using real facades and buildings from all the parks. There will be some original stuff like Tiana's Palace and the Sleepy Hollow dark ride but even those will be based on actual Imagineering ideas.

youre one of the most consistent players on this site. job well done sir

Love it. Middle screen is my favorite, but they all resonate.

I really love that but I am afraid you're gonna overuse/abuse those dark brick paths.

That overview is amazing. You've gotten so good. This is absolutely great stuff.

That awful black roof texture is bringing it down for me. I'd just use a textured TT block instead. You're already removing the black texture in order to include the HVAC units and such, why not just get rid of it entirely?

Overall though this is top notch. It's not overly detailed, but still looks really good. It's made with just the right amount I think.
