Sanctuary - Theme Area [WiP]

[Clrun4]

Hi everyone.

I'm currently working on my "real" 1st project. I've been playing PlanCo since January now and have made a few random stuff, but I never set up a true project yet.
Until a few days ago, when I tried to build a coaster with a station like a cathedral.

I went for a megacoaster Intamin, with the new gen trains. My layout is most inspired by Expedition GeForce for the first part, and by Taron for the neverending twists and turns.
I'm pretty happy with the layout, even if it's not perfect (Snappy transitions and quick changes of directions are pretty hard to manage). Oh, and I don't know why, but I wanted a custom lift hill, for no reason other than looking good. There is a few custom supports, mostly because scenery have deleted them.

The all project is still work in progress. Even the main building is not entirely done, a few bits of props are still needed.

Firstly, I went only for the coaster, but then I realized that I could place some other stuff to improve the whole area
So now there is also a flat ride, covered up by a dome. I plan to build a food building, and maybe a train station. I've also placed a Drop Tower, that I've to dress up

I'm still learning about the game, so some things might be better.
So, enjoy the pics and feel free to comment or to give some advices !

Looking good!

Oh, Thank you !
So I've worked a bit more, essentially on the tower drop ride.

I'm not too sure about the upper part of the building ... dunno if it's would be better with a smaller thing, or even totally naked.

As I'm still thinking about this, I went for a try on building a "classic" train station. Just made the front facade (or at least, the beginning of it), and I'm quite happy how it turned out for now.

First try, went a little too big on the clock !

So, made a smaller one, and it works better. Put some wheels and gears behind it to make it look better

As always, feel free to comment !

I like it so far

Tkanks !

Not so much done since the last day, mostly worked on the inside of the train station ... and it was a complete mess !

I wanted to make it functionnal, and I succeed, even if it's not the most magnificent thing. Put some shops and restroom inside, and two trains stations.

Since the pictures, I finished the inside. There is some supports for the pathways, the shops as I said, the benches, the lights ... everything a proper station would need.
I worked also on the main facade, here it is !

Hello there !

So, since the last time, I mainly worked on the last big building.
It's a restaurant, and also have a toilet bloc in it.

Said last big building because I plan to put some food stalls on a few random places.

So as you see, I put a little outdoor eating area, and I wanted the building to have a tower, to look fancy.
The building serves also as a massive headchopper for the coaster, as it pass through it.

I've also began to work on the foliage, the fences and all the path stuff. As I see it, the area is slighty heading towards the end.

I don't see pictures anymore?

I don't see pictures anymore?

Hum, the pictures are hosted on my google photos accounts, so they shouldn't disappear.

I've changed the sharing options, do you see them now ?

Yes, I can see them now.

Perfect !

So, I'm trying to finish the area now. I've had the idea to put the "tower of terror" style ride, but I couldn't find a place to put it. Or at least, some placement that would satisfy me.
So, now it's time to add the vegetation, the props... to bring life to the area in fact !

So, it's still far from being finished, but all comes together quite nicely.

As always, a few pics, feel free to say what you think, even if you don't like ! (Criticism isn't always a bad thing )

The main plaza of the area

The same, but with another point of view

Tried to make some french gardens (not to be patriotic, but it's the only thing that crosses my mind)

And a little seating area.

Hi guys !

The area is nearly finished, just a few details to figure it out (like flying lamp posts)...

Haven't made so many screenshots, but I try to make a video out of it, but I'm quite struggling with the camera to have clean shots.

Anyway, here's 4 pics of the project.

great looking graveyard and gardens areas

Hey everyone !

Not much really done on this project since last time. I've started a new project on PlanCo, and have mostly been playing Borderlands 3 with my wife.
Have to redo the shots for the video, but as I've took some Povs, thought you would enjoyed to watch them. There are unedited, so there's no music or so.
As there's a lot of foliage, there is a lack of fps, so the ride might be rougher than it really is.

So, here they are !

Good job in architectural constructions !
