Dagstaff - Epic Crafter Rank Application

The Rank I'm applying for is: Epic Crafter
My Game Name is: Dagstaff
My Project is called: The Great Bridge
To get to my project: Coordinates x = 1925, z = 422. Town = NUTS

A brief description of my project:
I have more than doubled the size of the my original build by adding a second bridge connecting The Hub to line_of_eld's territory and constructing a high-end Sushi restaurant overlooking the original Bridge. The new bridge is primarily wood and includes a large twin-style tower that has 7 levels and a new open concept. At the midway point, there is a small house nestled on top of the bridge with a look-out crows nest that gives a panoramic view of my and line_of_eld's build. It takes 2.5 minutes to cross The Great Bridge at a walking pace from one end to the other and spans an east-to-west distance of 870 blocks.

The restaurant includes a kitchen, bar, rooftop terrace with stage, atrium, koi pond, wrap-around walkway, aquarium, three large bay windows, two teppanyaki-style tables, and even a bathroom! It is connected to the original bridge by a narrow suspended pathway. The restaurant infuses western and japanse architecture together and boasts a 25 block high roof that faces west.

Just kidding, but I think you'll likely get Epic Crafter. :)
Good luck!

It's either got it or its really close. Maybe Pri will say no to it so you expand it XD. Very nice job!

Good luck Dag! If this isn't worthy of EC then I'm not sure what is.

I've checked the build out in-game and I do have a few concerns. The first is that while the scale stretches across a large area (due to the bridges) there actually isn't that much here. The detail is astounding and no doubt took a very long time but you really need more stuff.

It would be very unusual to have bridges this large and of this scale with such a lack of buildings. In-fact two sides of the bridge system lead to nowhere, no roads at either end.

Another concern I have is that many of the buildings above water are not supported, they just sort of float above the water. Similarly with one of the bridges above ice there is no support structure. In real life that bridge would be anchored to bedrock beneath the ice.

So please work on these areas and re-submit.
