In my opinion, I think you should do Dundrum Town Centre First! It would probably be the most ambitious, but I'd love to have it in game :P.

The shopping centers mentioned above will be surely a great addition to the game. But since your have no batting experience I think those buildings could be too challenging. If I were you, I would start with some small residential buildings or some small shops. Once you get the hang of it, you can model the shopping center much more easier ;)

Can't wait! :thumbsup: When you start batting you'll soon find out that textures are extremely important. They have a great influence on the quality of your model. Here's a website I use a lot for textures: http://www.cgtextures.com (http://www.cgtextures.com). Have fun and good luck with your first building  :)
