Welcome to the 2nd ShantyTown building competition!
[p][/p][p]Congratulations to last week's winner KylieTheGrey over on Discord who won the first building competition around the lighthouse with this build![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There's something really aesthetically pleasing about the subtle attention do detail in the object placements creating an atmosphere of believability and desire to go there! The little romantic seating area, dedicated bottle storage and awning over the kitchen. It just looks wonderful![/p][p][/p][p]It was really hard to judge as there were so many creative submissions, and I want to share a few of them:[/p][p][/p][p]Really cool stuff![/p][p][/p][p][/p]
