Quoted from SkyKing2301:Since I don't have my game in hand yet, I can't really move forward on the fit checks / testing ... so in the meantime, I've been thinking of other ideas/enhancements for the road scene, and I'd like your feedback -- particularly if you're a waitlister who prefers the road scene.
I felt the grassy shoulder looks nice, but was wondering if it's too plain / empty.
So, first I sought out some model/diorama trees, thinking that might add to the scenery. Getting the scale just right is difficult -- especially since some trees could be huge in scale comparison to the car, but I found one size that seems to look ok. Smaller than it'd be in real life, but I don't want the tree to overshadow the car! Then I thought ... THE TREES ... could I incorporate this as a reference to that classic Rush song? I considered seeking out separate maple & oak trees in model/diorama size, but I wasn't sure they'd really be that discernible in this size. So I thought perhaps just adding some stumps next to the tree might be enough to complete the reference to the song. See details in the pics below. Thoughts / discussion?
I was also thinking of what else I could add to the scene, and while out driving the other night (to go play pinball at the Pinball Lounge), the street signs presented themselves as a logical choice. Then I remembered one of the albums had a street sign -- took me a few minutes to recall which one -- it was Snakes & Arrows, with the winding road sign (which, in itself, looks like a snake & arrow, see what they did there?). I made one of these and added it to the scene also. (I realized this sign could also be a nice stand-alone mod to mount elsewhere in the game, so I'd like your feedback on either using it in the scene or the standalone idea.)

(Sorry for the blurry photo!)
So yeah, let me know your thoughts on the add-ons to the road scene, and making it a 3-for-1 reference! Too much? Make it available with or without? Missing something? Do you like the size/style of tree? What about the sign, might you consider it for a standalone mod as a Snakes & Arrows reference, e.g. to mount near the S-curve in the plastic ramp? Am I overthinking these things entirely because I don't have the game yet and can't move forward, and/or because it's way too late at night for me to be thinking straight anymore? lol
I really like the dark bridge but the placement of the curved road in the back left might be a better spot .Since these boys are from the Toronto area have you thought of replacing the grass look with snow ? Would work real well with the premium I’d think .
