That is fantastic!

Are those tubes connected to whatever is helping it float? Or is it a boiler attachment of some sort?

Thank you! The idea bhind this CB is that the floating islands do so because light gases are trapped inside the soil/rock. The tubes you see are a part of a little contraption that is used to trap mist and convert it into water, which is then used to water some of the plants. A tleast, that's what I was going for, haha! :)

Good job. I really like the use of multiple colours for the roof, it's not something that I see often.

Thank you. I wanted to go "all in" with the fantasy-feeling on the roof. Been looking at quite a few of cesar soares creations so that was a big inspiration with the more assymetrical look/angles, etc.

I absolutely love it, maybe most of all the colourful roof.
