Original First Post:
Out of the Murk, out of the water, up into the Trees!

There must be something in the waters, because those are damn big trees!

Giving this concept a go, not sure if it will work/function that well, but it will be eye candy and fun to wander about.

Making slow progress - working on the shells, with the majority of plots will be internals and 1x1s.

There is a main central tree, with 5 smaller surrounding it.

Here's one with the buildings done, still need to spend time creating supports for them yet. This is one of the only smaller trees that manged to squeeze in two 2x2 plots, along with 5 internals. (a peak on the left of another small tree)

Did some more work on the main tree and close to finishing the surrounding trees - still supports to go, but rotating X/Y/Z can be a real pain.
Have to work on the player home yet, its up high outside of the build height, so plenty still yet to do with the superstructure before I start on picking plot types and locations

sometimes the work you spend days on will never be seen by anyone other than yourself and when you do pull off magic like that it is the best feeling.
 
Well all but one plot have been chosen and placed. (basic martial plot to go... somewhere
21 work plots, 21 residentials, 10 recreational.
Main entrance completed, and most railing and supports completed.

Next up is to start adding clutter,

Still to do after that:
  • power/wiring
  • lights
  • fix up a few missing raillings
  • Plants
  • Things I am still yet to think of
 
Time for some night time pics
Hence signaling that I may have jumped to the power/lights and didn't get the clutter finished.
Most lights outside are lanterns
