No problem, and also consider adding some stairways under the main door, it might look better.
I like how it’s coming along! It’s very cartoony and fun.
Here are some of my suggestions as to how you can improve on it. I hope you find them helpful!
Scaling
The building in general is very large compared to a standard Roblox character. This is especially noticeable at the doors, where you can see that the player doesn’t even reach half the door’s height. Shrinking the build a bit would be a good way of making the proportions more to scale, while also keeping that cartoony style.
Door Frame Colour
Something I noticed while working around the Police Station is that the door and window frames at the back of the building are a different colour to the frames seen elsewhere. I don’t think the light grey colour works quite as well as the darker tone. Choosing the same colour for all of the external frames should also help keep the colour scheme cohesive.
Added Detail
Other than the police sign on the roof, there’s not really any features distinguishing the Police Station from any other building. I noticed the helicopter pad on the roof but I imagine this would be seldom seen by the player. As such, I’d suggest adding some additional detail around the building, such as a sign with a police badge on it, a flag or even some “Wanted” posters.

In order to stay consistent with the “low poly” feel, I’d advise you fix this portion.
Convert the cylindrical pieces into something with less sides such as a hexagon or an octagon.
It makes no sense to have the entire build be blocky and then suddenly have super rounded parts in select areas.
The bricks are not aligned properly here

First of all, great feedback. I have fixed the scale of the building to a more realistic one. I’ll also work on the decoration lack. https://gyazo.com/f9889028e1b48e5f4cea722f1d667dac

I already had my doubts about that piece. I have changed it to an more blocky style, it should be a lot better now. https://gyazo.com/1dd79d942b2813a1e36476af1b68b296 https://gyazo.com/9de34257c5fb87e7a77d03aa83fef2b1

I like it.
The unique window/door pattern is definitely something I haven’t seen before…in a good way!
I think the detail is a little dull but with some cartoonish lighting effects this should look great!

I think it looks good but some lighting could really help it pop out.

I will definitely take a look at it, once i am going to start with the decoration.
Your “Low Poly Police Station” is very amazing, like how you added the color scheme white color/ blue color to the place to look more better, as well the details. That’s implemented to the police station! However there is a couple of things i’ll add to your, low poly build so it could look. More detailed and improved a lot more overall. However i know your just, working on the (Exterior) overall. You have done a decent job on your build!
Police Station
Your low poly station is very detailed. However there seems to be things missing on your station, as for the ones in real life they! Mostly have “Police Station Sign” connecting, on the side of the building or on the front of the. Building next to the door part try implementing something like that! Onto your build so it could look more, better and as well if you plan, on adding some land you could add one. One of those american flags, vernon hills flags, ect. In front of the building or implemented one of them onto your build! You could maybe add one of those, just to make it look more improved as well try. Adding some Street Lights, Location Number, Landing Pad, ect. On top of your station or try adding some of those! In the back of your station if you plan on, doing that i would recommend you add, some of those to your station so it could look. More decent overall you have done a, amazing job on your station! I believe those details can. Help your station!!
Land/Cars
Alright so your (Police Station) needs some kind of vegetation if you plan on adding land i would recommend you add some bushes, bollards, plants, trees, street lights, ceiling lights, ect. Those are the kind of details your station, needs so it could look more decent! Only if you plan on adding land then you could add. Those details to your police station however, you should implement some hanging, lights by the door piece and some underneath. The awning part which are called “Elegant Lighting RE318” try adding some of, those only under the awning. And your police station needs some! Police cars Ford Crown Victoria, Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Utility Interceptor, those are what police stations need. So they can pull people over. And if your going off a reference image that’s, really good to get inspiration! Which is good.
Reference
Details
I really like how your going off a reference image, (Correct Me If I’m Wrong) and i think it looks really good and, as i said above try adding some street lights, flags, cars, landing pad, to the inside part so it could look more detailed as, well the police cars If you plan on adding details those. Are what you need
here is a couple, of things i’ll add so your Police Station so it could! Look more better and improved a lot more like. Overall you’ve done a, decent job on your station!!
Exterior Decorations
- Street Lights, Flags, Landing Pad & Hanging Lights
- Police Sign, Police Logo, Bollards, & Parking Lots
- Handicap Sign, Bushes, Trees, Plants Flowers
- Police Cars, Helicopter, Location Number & American Flags
- Building Lights, Air Vents, Security Cameras, Metal Entrance Gates
Overall, you have done amazing job on your station so far these. Are just some details your low poly station needs. In the front of the building and on the land/building! However i believe it’s still being worked on, can’t wait to see more of. Your work very soon and the different, details you add to your station, anyways nicely done on it “Low Poly Police Station”. Hope to see you improve it some more keep it up!! Hope you finish up the reference image.

The colors and overall style fit well together. I’d recommend some more barred (jail?) windows on the side - maybe one or two more.
I’d recommend using smooth plastic or glass for all the windows, and the helipad, while obviously being meant for a cartoonish style, doesn’t really make sense being so small.
Some gas tanks would look good on the back or on the side, or maybe a fusebox.
I’d recommend adding something on 1st story roof - maybe some AC units.
Your build is also really square - low poly does’t have to mean straight edges! Maybe a few rounded corners would help with the cartoonish simple design you’re going for.
Some greenery, like bushes or shrubs might liven the place up a bit. Why not use the trees you have on the corner of the baseplate?
Oh, and there’s a little bit of z-fighting under the front door frame, right where the top of the window meets the metal.
The colors do look good for the eye, but the 2nd story should be moved to the middle of the building - there probably wouldn’t be a ladder in the reception room! I like this build as-is, though. These are all just supplementary things I think you could add.

First of all, thanks for the great advice! I am planning to add most of the feedback that has been given to me. I will create an new topic / revamp this topic once im done.
I’ll be sure to see what you do with it!
Do it a bit bigger.
Also do the second floor bigger so you could add a helicopter spot if needed.
And change the windows so people can look in.

Wow, this looks amazing! There are only a couple things you can do to make it really pop.
The main issue I noticed is that the sizing seemed to be a bit off. The doors looked to be about twice as big as my character, which felt unnatural. An easy fix for this would be to size the entire model down so that it fits, or if you wanted to keep the sizes for the rest of the building (those are fine) you can also just adjust the doors.
The other detail I noticed that was slightly off, was the top half in general. It looks a bit cramped in comparison to the rest of the build, and from an architectural standpoint it doesn’t make that much sense. I would reccomend making more of the top half part of the second floor, or just removing it entirely. The other small issue I noticed was the helipad. It looks almost the size of my character, which doesn’t make sense from an aesthetic standpoint since helicopters are generally much larger. I only reccomend moving that down to the top of the first floor (the area that doesn’t have a building on it), as there is also a door there, so it would work from that point of view as well.
Best of luck on your build, it is coming along greatly, and you are definitely one of the top developers of tomorrow!
