Can you believe this is the first time I'm modelling something other than a live creature?

I quickly found that I'm not very good at it! Are there any tutorials for making buildings?

Here's what I have so far:

any advice as to where I should go from here?

I assume you've looked at the city flythrough set of tutorials on Maxon's site? The models are fairly basic, but worth a look if you haven't seen them yet.

Can't give you a direct link because of the way Maxon have their site set up, but this is where it is:-

www.maxoncomputer.com->Support->Tutorials->Project Based Tutorials->City Scene

This guy has done a pretty good job of building a 3D city.

The amount of work 3D strike put in to that scene is unreal.

LoL.. I spent a good 2.5 hours on my scene! half of that time was spent experimenting w/ stuff

When I built my old sc fi city I used reliefs with custom bump maps,and for closer up I used dislp maps,for closer still I used planes and extruded building and water ways etc using tags.Then I copied planes and made some buildings to fill the whole thing in,in the less dense areas :)
