Both of the things I enjoyed in this area: how the Defense Force Base looks like one of those areas in open world video games that are accessible during only a specific mission, and how the aquarium is really connected to the zoo and not a fake connection.

This is absolutely brilliant especially the transition section from the normal zoo area into the mountain section revealing the aquarium.

Oh, my favorite bit, by far, as nerdy as it sounds, is the use of crown gears to create coral dishes, that's just fabulously clever!

You read my mind - I can keep looking at it and never get tired of it! I love the part usage for coral and there's so many little details that I can keep re-watching this and see something new. This is amazing and I love the shape of the aquarium glass. Even the curved opening/cut out is so nicely done! A trackless train ride to tour the aquarium is such a fun idea!

Your aquarium inspired me to build an underwater scene. It started as 18 x 16 studs two years ago. Then, a year ago, I created two scenes: coral reef and deep sea. Both 60 x 30 studs. And in the last weeks they expanded to 95 x 30 studs each. Two whole Billy shelves! And I have a smile on my face, every time I see them. Thank you, Jang!

I do also love your original shopping mall and hope you’ll never remove it. It has a great skylight on it. I would like to make it, what they call in the UK, a ‘listed building’, which means officially it must be preserved.

could you imagine this in real life? You are riding a train and as it starts to approach a mountain, a voice comes on the PA saying that you are approaching and will pass right underneath the Planetanry defense force base. Then, as you enter the tunnel, everything goes black. but instead of the tunnel remaining completely black, it suddenly opens on the left side, the iridescent blue light floods the train, and you look over and there is an aquarium under the mountain. Coolest train ride ever
