42 hrs later, here is the scene from WIP - Nice View (Dome City on Mars). 
See previous thread for details.

AA 0.2 as requested

Things to do:

1) The ladies thigh sticks out of her boot slightly
2) Now that I look at it, the guy looks a little 'chunky'
3) not sure about the tilt of the guys head - the idea was that she was 
checking out the view, he was checking out her view.
4) buildings on the right hand side of the train tubes are slightly missing
5) Even though the terrain has fog, the distance queues don't look good
  The terrain is from MOLA images of mars, and is accurate to Valles 
Marinaris, although it's not obvious (NO vertical scaling exaggeration)
6) The dome goes 'in' a little at the train station (1/4's of the 
hemisphere) but from this view it just looks distorted)
7) The atmosphere needs some work, I think.
8) Daylight is a little too harsh.
9) Elevagor inside the 'tube' is a little too dark - combination of all the 
glass I guess.\
10) Tram guide is rotated by 45 degrees
11) Maglev guides (silver bars going out of the city) go into the ground, 
should be above ground the whole way
12) the city dome has a 'lip' that looks funny at the middle of the gap 
between building sides
13) The 'you are here' sign is rotated oddly and needs more detail).
14) For random buildings, they all ended up almost the same building.  Need 
to add more building types
15) Gridwork on the railing needs to be smaller.  Also, the gridwork seems 
to be on the 'outside' not through the glass.

The image takes 1.34Meg, I think I need to figure out a way to make 3x3 city 
blocks work out with less memory with a Colefax city.

See prev. image for details and credits, but briefly:  Koz hair, DAZ3D Poser 
images (Mike/Vicky3), Chris Colefax city modified (prev. thread for 
details), Rune's grass texture on the top of the buidings, Tom Aust/Gena 
Obukhov for POVTree and all of us taxpayers for sending Nasa/ESA to mars ...
