Very nice, but one thing bothers me, is the top of the platform supposed to be flat? I hope you don't mind, but I'v done a quick edit. I can't tell if you are trying to give the platform a raised rim or keep it flat. In this case I'v flattened it so, for at least, me, it's easier to see
And what exactly is your query on the subject of not being able to pull off villages? |

It doesn't look like the objects are sitting on the same plane as the base. The top of the tower is more of a top-down perspective than the base it's sitting on. Kind of makes them float on the base instead of sitting on it. Looks cool though!

For some reason the tower looks like a salt shaker And the castle needs some texture, it's a little plain. Maybe try adding cube thingys around the castle? -------------

The tower should be more straight when it hits the ground. Right now it doesn't completely look like a tower because it's sort of funneled out as it hits the ground. The temple, church, and palace look awesome. :) ------------- |

The tower looks kinda cartoonish doesnt it? If I can ever think of a way to make it look m ore real I will change it, It would be cool to make it the Eye of Suron :P ------------- got game?

XD That's funny. :) But it's still a little tapered. I did a little edit of your first one to show how to make it look more realistic. Hope you don't mind. If you zoom in you could see it better. I thought maybe if you made it less tapered it looked a bit like a mario brothers tube. :P So I added a window so it looked more tower-esque. But you don't have to add a window. You can instead make the round wall have little chunks missing, like a tower. :) Hope that helps. :) ------------- |

Actually I think its supposed to be red but that wouldent give me the contrast needed, I could change it to red or yellow when I get home

Nice... Consider making the light rotate all the way around, not just round, sort of going back at times.. make it unpredicted. Maybe. ------------- |

Can anyone think of a way I can do a market and a cave? ------------- got game?

For a market you could use items instead of a building? For the cave, you should use the same idea as the skull one, but maybe use a mountain, rubble, or even some wooden rafters on the outside like an old mine. Here are a few references to what I'm talking about:   ------------- There's a pubic hair on my keyboard. What the f**k?? I "mow the lawn" so it's not mine. Gross. |

The new base looks really good. Not so glarey. For a cave you could have the entrance facing toward you or off to the side, but it would be inside just a rock hill. For a market... maybe ultra small brown huts in a line? *shrug* ------------- |

Thankyou for the suggestions, Ive been wracking my brain about these, I thought about a cart for the mine, tents for the market a mountain with a whole for the cave a building for the market... a drill for my head :(
Thankyou for base feedback :) Maybe small brown buildings for the market will work, ill try a mountain with an entrance for the cave ------------- got game?
