    Hey everyone, managed to find a gap in my schedule to do an update. 

    I'd like to thank everyone who has commented and offered your kind words and advice, it is as always much appreciated and the main reason I keep updating this CJ.

    Continuing on from the last couple of updates and the last of the series, mainly because there are no other islands off Lower Manhattan, I present to you Governor's Island.

    This one was particularly hard because of the lack of available BAT's that make it look like the real thing but I think I've managed to at least make it resemble the real thing in several ways.

    Anyhoo, on to a few replies first and then I'll post the update!

    SirUnger: Thanks, I appreciate it and welcome aboard.

    rusty_777: Thanks and welcome, the detail at times is pain-staking, talk about slow going, lol

    jacqulina: Glad to hear it!

    Artur_001: Thanks for your comment, with the avenue, you will find them on the STEX, if you enter in lane divider or avenue on search it should come up....or at least I think it will!

    lucky7: Thanks, it will be good to see how your's turns out as a different point of view is always good.

    Renas: Thanks!

    This first shot show's an overview of the Island and to New Yorker's I hope it's instantly recognizable to you as this may be one of my weaker representations.

    Located in the middle of this picture is Fort Jay built in 1794 as a form of coastal defense and in the background is the all important car ferry for access to the rest of New York City.

    Now because my CJ is a fusion of old and new New York's as evidenced by my inclusion of the World Trade Centre in earlier updates, I have included the Coast Guard's headquarters on the island as it was prior to 1995.

    So that's it people, for now anyway and I'm thinking for my next update I should get started on at least one of the 3 International Airports of New York and I'll start small with La Guardia.......if you can call La Guardia small but I guess for New York's standards it is.

    Ohh yeah and please leave a comment as your input is valuable and appreciated =P

    Although, the island is not accurately right. You put some excellent work into it. It's good.

    That island is quite impressive. It looks real in every picture especially the 1st and 3rd one (my favourites). Keep it up...

    Cheers.

    I'm not familiar with the real Govenor's Island, so this looks perfect to me! You appear to be very adept at making these small islands! I look forward to the airport. Pressure's on! lol!

    CKSmooth: Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciate an addition to your Favourite CJ's, I guess I better make sure I release quality updates then! No slacking off I promise lol

    anarchy0029: I must admit the features on the Island aren't as accurate as they should be but at the very least the shape and some of the key landmarks are of a resemblence. I'll leave this one open for editing in the future as it's my least satisfying update so far.

    jacqulina: Thanks a bunch.

    Artur_001: Thank you, I had a look on the STEX and found it was under Two Way Left Turn Lane Mod and the author of it was ryanb_sc4..........so that should help

    rusty_777: Thanks, I'm glad it looks realistic because that's one of my main aims.

    psander5: Thanks, the good thing is that it's not one of New York's really famous landmarks so it's not all that recognizable to a lot of people and as far as small island's go, if I can do them anyone can! The airport is starting to shape up really quite well and I'm enjoying putting it together as it's something different from all those islands!

    Stay tuned people there's plenty more to come and LaGuardia Airport is starting to come into it's own!

    I just browsed through the whole thread and I love this recreation. I miss New York and wow. I'm loving your midtown! I can't wait for future shots up uptown and those 5th avenue apartments. I want to see SoHo, TriBeCa, and the Village. Keep 'em coming!

    He didn't reply for a while now. It's best to leave this "as is" because he didn't reply for almost a year now. One thing, you don't post in dead threads because you're going to get a reply back nor an update will ever occur. Just a word of advice, next time don't bump dead threads.
