Yes. Here is the sixth of 11 sections of my city project.

section6-22.jpgsection6-29.jpg

Notice it is in 2 parts. Once again, I overstressed LDD and had to separate a separate section. :laugh:

This is becoming a pattern :look: ; one I tried to avoid by making sections :sing::angry:

But enough with my faces. Here is the whole layout of section 6 so you can get an idea of how these 2 parts fit:

section6-26.jpg

As you may notice, this is the most confusing, complicated part of the city. I sure wouldn't want to drive on these streets :tongue:.

I went over budget with pieces here, but I couldn't help myself because the buildings were just so fun to make and kept on coming out better and better. I will admit however, that the 2 buildings behind and attached to the red building were the most annoying I've built, mostly because I had no real vision or feeling of what I wanted them to look like, and so it felt very forced building them. Besides that and the angled road between the buildings, this was once again my favorite to build so far!

Here are some more pictures of section 6...part A:

And the required:tongue: overhead shot:

section6-18.jpg

These buildings were the most fun to build. I already had the bridges finished much earlier, so that allowed me to get right to the fun part. Originally the parking lot was a lot more plain, but I didn't have any space to fit the ramps to each floor so I tried to find a way to make the smallest possible ramp that fit, and the result was the spiral ramp. The sign is possibly one of my favorite parts in the city, really bringing life to the view. I also really wanted to create a fully fledged fire escape, and between the parking lot and red apartments was the only large enough and visually fitting space. Finally, I decided to add another park because I felt there just wasn't enough green in the city.

So here are some better pictures of the buildings:

Piece Count: 29,084

And now section 6.......part B:

section6-28.jpgsection6-27.jpg

And its overhead shot:

section6-9.jpg

(pardon the piece outlines. I couldn't get any more screenshots)

A lot less fun, but still very happy with the outcome. The two mirror corner buildings have a few nice details like the roof and the side entrances that make them stand out for me. But the real focus point for me is the red library roof. I modeled the building from another MOC and then used Chicago's Library as a real life basis to meld it with. I tried my best to recreate the corner sculptures on the roof, and together with the roof terrace and arched center, it all fit to give the building its strength.

Building pictures? yes:

Piece Count: 19,924

Once again, I have a few more pictures in my brickshelf. I apologize with all these pictures as this section was not the easiest to get good angles or pictures for. If anyone wants, I can make pictures or lxf files of parts if requested.

Thanks again and hope you all enjoy!

That's sweet you never cease to amaze *huh* I'm not much of building person yet but that garage look killer and if I could get an lxf of that "city block" that would be great. The overhead shots keep saying "aircraft carrier" to me, obviously my bent. None the less, awesome work and I love the building colors. The red mirrored corner building would be a good lxf as well I'd like to check that one out a little better. Thanks for the post.

wow! how long it took to build this masterpiece? very large-scale home-made! I will say one thing: cool! :wub:

The detailing on the buildings stands out in this addition. Masterful work. :thumbup:

@treeboy: That's a big section, buuuuut here's the LXF: BUILDINGS-9,10,11,12 (parking garage and surrounding buildings) :grin:

And why not, I want to include this building too:

section6-30.jpg

So here is the LXF for Building 15.

Hope you like!

Thank you sir. Inspecting now. I really like the details like the antennae, fire escapes, HVAC, vents etc and that's just on the roofs. Do you ever do interiors like desks, couches, etc? you could easily go from 17.000 pieces, as the parking garage et al is, to about 1,000,000 pieces. Thanks again.
