Better Jack ?

The question is how does the building look in real life? I keep my mouth shut often but I agree that the only off with this model, as SIM-ple Jack mentioned, is the roof texture.

I can think some views of the real-life building may help to identify what to add or remove to these roof textures.

I did a quick internet search and I couldn't find any pictures of the actual building in question.

Not quite. I know what the building looks like in real life. It has roof tiles there.
But I want the building for my city with a typical Parisian tin roof. So it's not about how it looks but how it should look .....

So it's all about whether the tin roof looks good or not

But if you are interested in the building itself just look for BSPP Pompiers Paris Nativité. Near the Gare de Lyon on google map...

There are always people who fawn, toady and boot-lick, and be completely incapable of proving they can give honest, objective opinions that help members get better results.

That's also true - I only give credit where it's due and tend to be effusive in my praise when deserved.

I actually liked either version. I just found it strange that a 2 1/2 story building would use solar screening on a roof. I've only seen that stuff used on greenhouses and pool cages. The maintenance on a roof that size would be astronomical, due to destruction from the elements and the odd mischievous large bird. And I know about those birds. We have these

where I live, as an example, and these guys will take the lunch out of your hands.

Yes, now I can see the strange bird too ...

It's okay. Somehow the post also reminded me of my grandfather. Whenever my mother brought food on the table that he didn't like, he would say:" It's delicious, but I don't like it".
He was then always allowed to eat out in the restaurant.

That's why I make my own meals. You never know if you're hanging out with a distant relative of Lucretia Borgia.

Thank you for the nice discussions and suggestions.
I then decided on version 3............. and it fits in quite well.

     And we are back to our regularly scheduled programming of filler content updates on the Kingdom of Rota!     

 

Presenting...

 

֍ ROCKIDEE QUARRY ֎
TOWN OF CORVALIS

 

This quarry, located to the southwest of Corvalis, is located just downstream of Lake Gold (lower left, beyond view). The end of the Cramorant's Gorge ended up piling massive amounts of river sediments over the centuries, creating an ideal source of sands, gravels, cobbles and boulders for practical uses!

 

 

The quarry itself occupies an area of floodplain sheltered behind a river bank, countless workers and a myriad of machines break, dig and haul the aforementioned rocky materials.

 

 

Especially notable cobbles and boulders are set aside for special uses, such as gardening, shoreline protection, dams and even dimension stone for architectural and sculptural use! These fetch high prices if their appearance and perfection is especially valuable for their future application.

 

 

Meanwhile, a large portion of the sands, gravels and smaller rock fragments instead go to the Corvisquire Cement Products Ltd. facilities! Here they are used to make concrete and cinder blocks, for use in construction in the northeastern lowlands of the Kingdom.

 

 

Meanwhile, the Caterpie Construction Machines LLC store and rental center provides a large assortment of construction machines for your projects, from new to old, from big to small!

 

 

 

֍ GOLEM'S CREVICE QUARRY ֎
CITY OF ALDEMAR

 

Meanwhile, serving the southwestern valleys of Rota, is the Golem's Crevice Quarry! Located in the city of Aldemar, the area taps into the robust granodiorite bedrock to gather nearly the same materials categories as its other neighbor!

 

 

This quarry digs out more solid rock formations, for which reason it specializes in dimension stone, high-performance crushed stone and abrasives made of silica sand. Crews work around the clock to dig out the material out of the steep benched walls, while a few hardy trees grow from every little nook and cranny they can set root at.

 

 

At the upper left, some excavation crews are expanding the quarry by digging out material from the upper benches. As extraction progresses, the tight quarters on the north excavation pit will widen, allowing for other masses of rock to be exploited.

 

 

This facility boasts a much larger aggregate shipping terminal, as it sends its products far and wide throughout the Kingdom and on occasion to international customers with exceptionally large demands for quality stone. They, however, do not have any associated concrete batching plant nor asphalt paving plant, but the owners are considering adding one once they find a suitable location for it!

 

 

Caterpie Cosntruction Machines LLC has another retail outlet in the area. On occasion, when preparing for large projects, they lease a railway siding to ship rail cars carrying their numerous machines! They, however, have to stay competitive!

 

 

For there is competition from the Klingklang Machine Emporium Ltd! Who happens to provide the exact same assortment of machines to the same busy constructors of Rota!

 

 

And finally, a view of the quarry's surroundings. The area appears to be a busy infrastructure crossroads, featuring the Aldemar Main Line railway, the Rota Shinkansen, a freight terminal, a wind farm and the ever delicious farm fields to feed the hordes of hungry human and pokémon citizens!

And since nobody is going to dedicate a monument to me and only the dog listens when I say something, I make one myself.
I'll put that in the mayor's garden.
Like so many other things, it will of course not be published because Gozilla is only destroying it anyway....
