Last summer I spent 72 hours (roughly)...and continuously...making a floating city out of iron. I don't have too many pictures left of it, but here's a very small taste (you can see roughly 1/4 of the total structure in this):
I had a nice town square with a fountain, trees, had a 'downtown' district, various subway lines, working transport systems for goods, dumps, a market, mailboxes, apartments, a water park and spa, the works. Some apartment buildings were really nice. I had a huge courtyard in front of them and inside of them with suites on both the main and second floor. Pretty much went all out. >_> The design scheme is pretty simple. Like I said the bulk of buildings was made from iron. I did use brick blocks for the front of buildings in the downtown core, though. Plus use of fences, diamond blocks for some flooring, signs, carts, ladders...I got lost many times.
I wish I would have started this recently, though. There has been so much content added since I last played Minecraft.
I don't have the motivation or dedication to do this again wah
