Park Elements

Unread postby xxuntitledxx » Thu Apr 18, 2019 6:39 pm

Hi all,

Running into a little problem. So there is a park in the New Market section of the Lehigh Line in Piscataway, NJ called Columbus Park. By the parking lot is a large gazebo and I'm trying to figure out what I can do to duplicate it. Anyone have any ideas?

Also the water kind of goes down a stepped waterfall to go from the lake to the stream:

There is some other small gazebo's and structures through out the whole lake area too:

I've got ideas for the other structures above (except the gazebo).

Just looking for some pointers. I'm drawing a blank !*don-know!*

Well you could try the carousel from the BLE route. And it also has Rapids you can use for the waterfall effect. Just an Idea for ya

How about this? Kit bashed from three parts. From Stations - Canopy Generic Sloping, Miscellaneous - Block Concrete Mid 01, Linear Objects/Scenery - Fence Ranch White.

Oh and this fast little kit bash to match Columbus Park Photo. The entrance arch is Generic Canopy Sloped resized in length. The decorative covers over the bench's is Goal Post resized in width and height with Gate Metal laid flat and placed on top.

Funny you mentioned that. I was thinking along the same lines of using those parts just didn't know how I would implement it. Thanks for the examples! :D

I'll be posting pics of how it all comes out.

Looks fantastic! You can sure tell you spent time aligning that roof. Every corner lines up perfectly. With all the overlapping, does the roof flicker when you drive by? That's the only negative about overlapping items.
Beautiful work!

Wow oh Wow!

Look at you kit bashing the hell out of these items! It looks fantastic!

Did you resize and overlap the "block concrete" to make the foundation for the gazebo?

I just threw a example together to give you a idea to play with and well, the rest is all you! I even went through a whole bunch of sites trying to find something else you could work but found nothing. Well you really picked up the ball and ran with it!

Keep up the great work and keep on firing that imagination.

Glad I could help!

Thanks.

To answer your question: I actually used the concrete filler and sized it for the base.

Still working on the rest of the park and surrounding houses. I will be posting more pics in my Lehigh Line Thread once New Market is complete.
