Very nice, Bruce! And congrats on reaching a thousand posts. Your Minas Tirith is quite cool. Here are my thoughts, for what they are worth:
City Gates:
Wow! The first word that comes to mind is "intimidating." I don't think the walls are boring. They
are massive. Just how the walls should be. The gate itself is nice, but I would like to see a pic with the gates shut in order to see how it looks then. I am sure that will be forthcoming when it is all finished. The tudor style houses built into the wall are a very nice. I wouldn't have thought of those.
City Streets:
What a plethora of houses! A lot of cool details here. Just a couple of my favorites include: the fountain, the chain fence around the cart, the tudor house with the SNOT walls and blue roof, and the grey house in the 3rd and 7th pics. The behind the scenes shots are cool too. Nice to know how you were doing that. But you really shouldn't allow the foreigners back there.
Houses of Healing:
Again, quite cool. Very peaceful and elegant exterior. Looks like a good place to lie down under a tree and take a nap. And the stairs going up onto the walls are huge! The interior is very much in keeping with the exterior. Great details, as well. The bed is a neat design, and I like the curtains. But the kicker is the wooden floor. I am still trying to figure out exactly how that was done! I didn't notice it at first. But then it jumped out at me. Those tiles are at a forty-five degree angle to the rest of the room! Very very cool.
Tower of Ecthelion:
First thought: that is tall! I like the radar dish thing over the front door. I haven't seen that used like that before. The only thing I am not sure that I like is how you used the two inverted slopes over the windows instead of the 1x4 arches. From a distance is looks very good, but up close I don't really like that. The tree looks good. And the pool is just how I imagine it.
Overall, Bruce, this is all on par with your other creations. Great job! I can't wait to see it all finished!
Build On,
Josh
