New city: Cape Otway.

Yet another city! I'll try not to give up on this one, and i'm trying to do a very detailed style, but starting small and as the city gets bigger i'll replace buildings and extend and make new ones. I'm excited about this one. I'm not sure about the name though. If possible, could you give me better ideas for names?
Anyway, so far i've only got the town hall. Took me a long time to make.
Here it is:



Here is an overview:




Thankyou.

Good start, regarding the name, well I think its fine, although maybe it should be called it Cape Wibbly.

Looks good so far, but the sidewalks look very small.

The detail looks really promising! The city hall looks really beautiful. It looks like the streets and city blocks are not in scale with the building. You should check that.

Keep it up!

Thanks Vellu! But I don't know what you meant by not to scale with the buildings?

That city hall won't now fit in a regular block, but it doesn't look that big that it wouldn't fit a real life city block. What are the dimensions of the blocks?

Actually, i didn't buildt this today, I finished it today. This took me AAAAAAGGGGGGEEEESSSSS because I was trying to do as much detail as possible, even if it doesn't look like much detail.

Looks very good!

Though, I'd work more on the street detail.

Looks very promising!
