Basically I wanted to create a massive floating sky city. This is around 500 blocks long and 100 wide. It is the biggest project i have ever made and will probably take more then a month to finish. It is a well defended city and so far all that i have created is the base of it. Due to its height i'm using the latest snapshot so that i will be able to build the planned buildings to the height that i would like them. So far I have done the balloon, the underneath of it and the bottom layer to be built on. The bottom layer has many holes in the side of it. These contain small airships designed for defending the city. The circular part of balloon has so far been the hardest. It took many hours alone to make and was very difficult.

Things to be built:

• Tiered palace (on the circular part) (started working on it 40%)
  
• Docks (100%)
  
• Private Docks (100%)
  
• Warehouses (100%)
  
• Farm (100%)
  
• Marketplace (60%)
  
• Bank (100%)
  
• Upper class shops (100%)
  
• Houses (100%)
  
• Lower-class apartments (100%)
  
• Park (100%)
  
• Armory
  
• Barracks
  
• Circular Library (100%)
  
• Post Office (100%)
  
• City Square (100%)
  

This is by far my most ambitious project yet so it will be a while before it is complete. I copied and redesigned the shell of MinecraftPG5's elevator http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/2x2-car-piston-elevator-up-down-sp-and-smp/ .
