The next big SR2 server project we've started is a replica/interpretation of The Hanging Gardens. This will involve lots of sand/sandstone, and tons of detail work. Hopefully we will be able to amass some minerals for decorative flare (some lapis lazuli pillar footers would probably look nice :D)
Here are a few shots of what we have so far:
Here you can see the basic first-block foundation. This shot gives you a good idea of the size; we had to clear several decent sized hills/mountains to get this large of a flat plain, and I'm pretty sure we're at 134x134 in dimension, for now. We may end up adding some plazas, fountains, and walkways once we have the primary structure ready.
Here is one of the four entrace stairs. We should be adding a lot more detail in the future, but it already has great character. Also in this shot is huhwhozat, who both proposed the project and laid out the plan for what you see so far
And here's the layout so far. We have the four cardinal stairway-entrances built, with several inset groups of pillars (below) to either side of the stairs. The wall is getting some height all around, and next we will probably work on some of the basic interior planning.
The pillars are a mixture of sandstone footers, sand body, and half-block capitals.
As you can see, the project is still pretty young and there is a lot left to do, but we're all pretty excited. More updates later
