Excellent start. I disagree with a lot of the builders that say it does the work for you. Just means they have not delved into the intricacies of the system. You have some great palette choices, nice contrast and depth in the build. especially like how you chose to do bi-levels to break up the square monotony. Once you start adding more clutter that will break it up even more... wish more would realize the potential of the building system in this game. If you are keeping up with the devs, they have a lot more in store for us.
2:25 I did a similar gazebo style top for my agricultural area in my Lupa's Lair rebuild. I saw this video today and immediately subbed. I'm currently rebuilding Glenwood's End and this place definitely gave me those vibes. I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Check out my Lupa's Lair rebuild if you find some time.
