I too have been following your progress with interest. To my mind what you are
attemting to do takes Lego scenery modelling to the next level, you seem to have
recognised that the world isn't nice and square and is in fact full of odd
angles and little bits left over.
I also like the sense of continuity of scale, the river, for example, is a wide
as many seen on train layouts, but is scaled to be a small to medium sized river
flowing through a town rather than a navigation capable of supporting
supertankers.
I think the buildings fit in well with the overall aesthetic, nothing flashy,
just well observed ordinary places, I think if you get the human (OK minifig)
element as realistic you are on to a winner.
Critisms? Its going to take you forever! Mind you it would take me longer. :-(
