[P9 - Uyter - CE] Bright Eyes

By the time I got back, CorSec's inspectors seemed to be largely satisfied, and I was able to get the deal logged. Took the participants up to an old retreat centre that once belonged to Uyter's Department for Agriculture. Seemed a fitting spot to seal the agreement. 

And with that, Uyter had a guaranteed purchaser for future harvests, CorSec had a vested interest in keeping the situation stable in our corner of the galaxy, and Clan Eldar had a decent revenue stream that wasn't dependant on bounty hunting or mercenary contracts. 

Agreements like this don't get a whole lot of attention when it comes to writing the history books, but trust me, this deal was the cornerstone of all of Clan Eldar's efforts in this sector.

A great build. I'm a sucker for a classic brick build.
I like the design of the doors here along with the vegetation around this, the broken paving is a really nice touch

I was a bit gutted to have to redo the vegetation when this build needed to move from Trandosha to Uyter, but I think it did reasonably well.

Yes, it's a shame but theres always the chance we'll see it in the next build

That entrance is so interesting and ominous! Takes me back to Zeffo in Jedi: Fallen Order...

There are a few details that bug me. Like if you cannot get the ground level and the plates on the sides to level - don't bother with plates on the sides... Then I'd just put a frame around the build... Part of what makes the plate-on-the-side technique look so good, is when it levels out perfectly... Imo at least...

A little bit of the same with the pathway (which you've done really well), but the end facing the camera, where I can see the gap in the bottom of the bricks, is a little messy...

I hope you don't take the criticism to harshly - it's just with a good build like this, the small things stand out...

AND! Even though the building is simple, it is really brutally beautiful...

Fair criticism, and yet a lot of your own faction members are guilty of the same criteria. I assume you're picking me up on it because I'm a judge and they aren't?

Really fantastic work, I love how simple and striking the design is, those doors especially look fantastic. Very Spirited Away. I see what Bjorn is saying with the sides, and the rockwork on the back right uses a lot of the same parts near each other, which looks a little repetitive, but its hardly the focal point of the build. In Bjorn's defense, we all want to help each other grow as builders, right? It's not a matter of teams or judging more harshly, at least I hope. Great work all around.

The criticism is more meant as constructive feedback, because I feel you only need a few minor tweaks to really break into those major league mocs. I say that as a builder who struggles with some of the same things. Also much of my feedback to TT faction members happens in our discord. Sorry if you feel singled out - definitely not my intention...

Great build! The red-green color scheme works really well here. I specially like the details of the plants on the wall and the stone floor, which ends up being quite realistic.
