I'm going to enter it now :)

[WHANGFACE]

I think stacked mode corners would look better ;) But its a btilliant idea and looks cool <3

[Scorpio]

VERY nice! +Rep

Just some random ideas:

Asphalt Tracks as roads,
A sports bench as the top of the "Arc De Triomphe"


And that's it! Well, it's brilliant without changing anything so MEH =D

[uh huh her]

I like it, you could get some wallpaper for the wall, to make it look like its night, and add some stars [: Nice idea, +rep

[brandon]

Thanks for all your comments. Bit late to do the track thing but I never thought of that, Also, Ben you mean instead of the pillars? if so I might do that O.o I havent entered it yet. Hopefully I will win with either my Italian or French one :D

[brandon]

Ok this is the updated version :) I was going to use mode corners but I didn't have enough but the changes I have made are

- Added Paint
- Added 2 Stars
- Changed the mode bar and corners to a Team Bench :)

the arch crys out stacked lodge corners, it'd look more realistic. Also, some outdoor posters would add the perfect touch.

8/10

hm I dunno about lodge corners but I will add some outdoor posters. I think Himalaya posters would do the trick?

[Eternity]

i'll be frank, it looks extra silly with the two mixtures of colours, and yes the pillar's do look even BETTER but nothing will match on top, unless lodge corners ;o?

[WHANGFACE]

I wudda said dark blue walls & stacked mode corners..

It would make a massive difference.

Especially dark walls as you got stars.

Yeah the paint was a mistake, I didn't buy it a friend did without realising what blue but I left it for now

Yeah I will make it dark blue, and Ben have you got any mode corners I could borrow just to see how it would look?

[Re-Call]

I like it as it is to be honest, There's nothing i would change except the walls like people said make it night time and use a few more stars :)

Except from that it looks amazing! 10/10!

[Nick-]

This wouldve looked so much better in a v9 room ;)

6 pillars making up each stand of the arc with a large gap in between the sets of pillars and a 4 lane road running through it, not sure what to use as the top of the arch though. Add a full coloured skyline poster wall and that would be an ideal france room. But thats just a brief bit of brainstorming and perhaps after my room is finished ill have a stab at it :P

However its a v8 room and its not bad considering the limited amount of space you have to create such a monument, cover the whole wall in coloured skyline posters and itll be just right ;)
Also i preferred the mode, the sports bench looks a little too flimsy to be stone

[WHANGFACE]

I got 2 you can use Bran.

[brandon]

Ok thanks all, I'm going to try the mode corners, then if not the lodge. I will add himalaya posters and more stars. Also, can someone post a screenie of the type and colour of wall because I can't find a suitable one? I will be greatful.

Edit, ok thanks Ben? come to the room :)

[Nick-]

himalayas? :s
I dont remember there being any mountain ranges in paris :P

[brandon]

The closest to it is the alps lmao.

[Victimized]

If the mode corners don't work then you can have some of my lodge corners seeing as i don't play habbo anymore.

Thanks, thats a very generous offer but I don't need them because the mode corners were fine, thanks again :)

I couldn't get hold of any more silver stars, I've looked everywhere and they're too pricey. I might add a couple of posters but for now this is it.

Now I will try to improve on my Flavian Amphitheatre

[Nick-]

Looks great but a full skyline poster wall would make it perfect ;)

[Ellis.]

When I say this I'm being as honest as I can be. Your theme is well done. I haven't seen theme rooms posted on this forum in a while and it relieves me that I finally start seeing some new ones.

[brandon]

Yeah I'll give it ago if I can. :) Colour or black and white?

Thanks Ellis :)

What he said. Don't get Himalaya posters get black and white skyline whatever posters. :)

[brandon]

I've got until Monday 23:59 to finish this and send it in. I'll give it ago.
I'd really apprieate it if you asked your mates if they had any.

[Wizzdom]

Zebra crossing? :p

[Nick-]

A mixture of both would look pretty good actually, like a checkerboard effect
However i wouldnt go with only bw skylines, itll just bring down the colour scheme, so either go with a mixture of the 2 or just coloured skylines

Thanks. I think I might only do the left wall as the other wall is covered with
the arch and the stars.

[Nick-]

Indeed, and i think this is the first time ive ever thought that a room would look good with only a partially covered wall :o

[Ostinato]

Love it.

[brandon]

Ok, I think I've finally finished it. I'll enter it later :) I think it's come along way.

As I said in your room, it looks great. I had to check google to check what it actually looked like in real, I was shocked at how good it was. Well done. ;) +rep if poss.

[Rolldeep]

Very nice. I think you should use iced bars and corners Instead of mode. Other than that very good. +Rep.

[Niall!]

is the arc de triumph not on a roundabout :S

[Crouch]

It's alright, you should add some sort of flame in the middle? I dunno but it's still good :)

[brandon]

Thanks, I didn't use Ice as you can't stack them and you'd lose the stone effect

I don't know, I only worked from the picture I shew :)

hm that would be hard, the only way I could do that would be a dragon and that would look right.

[Rolldeep]

[QUOTE=Stealth;2118745]Thanks, I didn't use Ice as you can't stack them QUOTE]

I know how to :eusa_danc . I was just saying it because The mode doesn't go. But by any means it's your choice not mine.

[Niall!]

yep its on a roundabout for defo :P

[brandon]

nvm, a roundabout would be pretty hard to make a good one anyway.

[Niall!]

blue track?

[brandon]

hm I guess, but then it wouldn't go with the rest of the mats. Oh well least
the road is symbolising it's by a road anyway.

[Niall!]

very gd point... y dont u try it in another room with just a roundabout?

that means dont demolish ur room andf try a new idea

[brandon]

hm I think I'll just leave it and think of my next idea :)

[Stab]

STEALHTTTTTTTTTT
And idea.
You could close stack stools for the sides if you really wanted.

[Tristan]

IT DOESN'T NEED A ROUNDABOUT JEEZ.

[edible]
