LAST WEEK'S THEME: TRAIN STATION

Gold

KingKowen

A really cool and interesting take on a train station! Also, loved the use of the new 1.12 blocks, something that many people seem to still be cautious in using. I found that using the glass to cover up another part of the build made it look cool but I also loved the look beneath the glass, with the towers with gradients of blue beneath. Small criticism is that I found the the letters you made blended in a bit too much with colours behind it (more the blue) and they were just a bit too wide and made it a little hard to read. Excellent build though, really enjoyed it!

Silver

OskarUpNorth

This just is a really elegant build I find. Great use of bricks, another block many people seem nervous to use and great depth in the building. Really liked how the build worked with the terrain and that you included paths and the trains and train tracks were really well made. The interior just seemed a bit too small for a train station and in some parts it felt more like a home. Also, in some instances there seemed to be too much colour, with wood, concrete, sandstone, terracotta and stone all being in the same shot. Great build though!

Bronze

ShadowOfDawn

First off for this one, really loved the cliffs you made and the fact that it's on a cliff. As for the rest of the location, I'm still not sure whether it worked or not. For one, I like how it seems to be in the middle of nowhere, just on a cliff but on the other hand, part of it seems out of place because of that, maybe because there's only one way the tracks go so without there being anything else around, my brain is trying to decide whether it'd be logical or not for people to even go there! But that's just me and as I said, part of me still likes it like that. Really liked the buildings and the insides, the colour choice worked really well. The train tracks seemed pretty simple but liked the trains and the use of purple/blue for them! Good build!
