    Since I'm quiet new at building and I'm unsure about what to build, because a lot of people are really good.
    Could anyone suggest things that are good for a first build as a student. ?

    if you know what terraforming is i would reccomend doing some terraforming first then see what kind of style of build you'd like to do (p.s most of the staff loves modern builds)

    I'm just not confident enough in my builds to show a lot of people.
    But Id really like to prove that I'm not half bad.

    Don't worry too much about anything. A good build has detail, a theme,(or several), and a story. Me personnally, I learned how to build castles and medieval buildings, and when I arrived here, I learned terraforming. Which, by the way, I can do fairly decently.

    Is there any castle builds you have on the server that you could show me?

    There's very little you need to make a good building. Namely depth, design and detail if you can incorporate those 3 aspects you'll be fine. No need to be all theme terraform etc etc. That'll come naturally with :)

    I'd finding a style you like, whether it be medieval, fantasy, baroque, modern, colonial, etc. After you find a style you're interested in and enjoy building, search for examples on google images. Then try to draw ideas from it to form your own style :)

    another staff told me that, and it actually worked really well.
    I kept my castle, and another plot next to it and tried different styles and its been quiet easy with the new one.
    and we have pictures based on the build. :D
