Okay I'm not too crazy about the new Gold Coast City honestly. I really really liked this version, just one of my favorites:



Now dont get me wrong, your detail is absolutley incredible, but the city as a whole seems a little silly now with the replicas of Q1, Chifley Tower and of course, the Empire State Building.

Just my honest opinion!

The Q1 makes sense because in this city it is Q2 which was originally planned for Surfers paradise for real, but yeah i might get rid of Chifley and will modify ESB alot

You're making some very nice buildings, the Empire State spoof is great.
Evron is CGII's? It looks awesome and quiet your style Mo'

Empire State Top and facade , The lower ESB setbacks can be higher like Sears ?

Really ?? On the displays or in the city? The pic in the display on the left is transperant. The city i think has way too much colour to be realistic already.
It has been up to 127.4F In Queensland too so giess its real eh ! Thats why its called the sunshine state+ the sun is just way brighter in the Southern Hemisphere

No Seattle visit? Gees. I'm gonna be in NY next July. That or Chicago or Disneyworld. Ugh. I'd rather go to Chicago than NY or Disneyland.

Back to topic, or I'll ban you. Jaykay but really, I missed that last update. Evron looks great. One of the best in the city and Lambton looks very very realistic. Not a great design but it's something I can see being built in Chicago or NY.

haha Austin-Aleks , I wouldn't mind meeting all you guys but i can't stray from the route we will plan, but i'll post more details closer to the date so if anyone is close i'd love to come say hi! that would be so cool !

Don't worry CGII , you'll hear me all the way to the Bronx !

Iv'e wanted to do it since i was about 5
I'm really worried i won't want to leave.



btw. 'Lambton' really is pissing me off!! The detail on it makes up for the bland style but i just can't get the shadows right to show it - Each window has 3 setbacks and all colums are very detailed grrr
