Hadn't had a chance to respond to comments here just yet-- thanks everyone for the kind words.

This is a late upload since this park was finished in 2022, but I'd simply forgotten to put it up.  Certainly the approach would be different now given the new track pieces available but I'm still pretty happy with the layout.

Also a nice detail I noticed was the use of the geometric sculptures as chains on the draw-bridge.

This was entirely Ulvenwood.  Credit to him for teaching me quite a lot of NCSO tricks!

Loved viewing this back when it first dropped in the contest.  I'd actually sent CP6 our layout to see what he thought, not knowing that he'd join the contest himself!

I'd meant to keep the entry secret and I guess we did!  But always like seeing the stuff others put together.  You guys had an incredible map and it really turned out very well.  Loved how flowy the paths were.

I think the way to have taken this design to the next step would have been the overall macro composure, with some paths appearing a little meandering perhaps, especially the small dirt one in the center of the map.

The meandering path was actually fully intentional!  Taking a page from parks like IOA where there are little nature type trails off the main path that kind of wind their way through stuff.  We had more than enough main circulation path, so the little ones were intended as a way to fill in some of the space with some quieter, scenic spaces.

Thanks all for the comments!

This was a tough match.  I voted Wawel, but I definitely appreciated all the clever uses of vehicles and scenery the more I looked at NCSO.

I went Valley of Kings on this one since I really liked the landscape and the details in it.  Castello was great as well-- the village island definitely a highlight.

Hey that looks familiar!  It's like a mini version of the real thing.  Very nice work.
