Stairs hand rails and elevation oh my!

Ok at first i was making this into another skate scene but now im not sure i might just make a house on top of the platform or something but i dont know what to do about how high the stairs go up.On the sides im not sure what to add to make it look better i was going to make it a hill of dirt with a couple of bushes and a tree but im not sure.

This one i thought it would be better if i made the stair case double wide so maybe it would look good and a lower ground level please tell me what you think!

That could like, lead up to some major building, like a city hall. Or it could go to a monument. Or perhaps even one of thoes parks that got leveled so that the unleveled ground sinks away from it on the far side.

Yeah i was thinking about that mayeb a mall or something or maybe just a lookout point over a big city…

Rite now im adding some more ocjects so far i have a bench on the top.

I think a lookout point would be great. This way you can model the background to your likings or simply put in a pic of some great location.
Keep up the good work.

hi, the rails look a bit low, it can be good to use a proxy object or import a humanoid just for height reference.
m.a.
