Welcome to Thames, an island nation
my attempt at a British style CJ

on the island nation the capital city is Thames which is split into several districts

Now to zoom in to the capital

    Interesting idea, be nice to see how this works out 1.gif

    also its good to see you've done the landscape of most of britain fairly well - lots of farms

    atm im working on my home town of willenhall (england) circa 1975, lots of factories and terraces, and few green spaces, healthcare is fun :D

    i'll be watching this CJ 44.gif

    who made the airport??

    I ask for two reasons:

    1) The runway numbers are upside down
    2) The runway 09/23 is invalid. Should be 09/27, unless of course the runway has a 40 degree bend in the middle......

    Always good to see a Frogface journal, and we love British-style cities! Your farmland has the familiar patchwork quilt look to it, very British indeed. Great work, can't wait for more!

    Oh wow! I got a bit a bit of a shock when I saw the Thanesmouth pic with the Crumby Arms that I BATed ever so long ago! 3.gif I've never seen those in a city journal before! (And in retrospect I'd say they could use a bit of an overhaul, now that I consider my BATing skills to have improved a bit...)

    The castle looks great, but I really like that tower built on the cliff.29.gif  Looks very desolate sitting there all by itself.  Just perfect...44.gif

    andrew george:i quite like the rural parts too, which i'll be showing more of later 2.gif
    6459978: crumby arms is great! it seems to fit in quite well with this style region. If you are going to do an overhaul that would be wonderful 19.gif

    This update focuses on the Hailsham area, a much more rural area

    Having been to the real Hailsham I must say yours is prettier! Where did you get that rail station from, I haven't seen it before?

    Wow! Looks great, your use of custom BATs really adds to the look of this CJ (without them, it wouldn't really be British-like, so...)
    Really like your naming, Frogshire! 18.gif
    Presentation is good too, like the way that we can figure out where we are looking at on the map... 3.gif

    Maybe if you BATted some more British-styled homes, some tinberframe-almost houses, for one, it would add to the look as well (and would help me out too 38.gif)
