Harbor Crossing

Papatoetoe Bay and the Papatoetoe tunnel are the main attractions just west of Cook, the new city I happen to be working on. I am trying to give it a New Zealand style twist and this could possibly follow with a full out CJ (posted in this thread of course ) if I like it enough, and if you south of the equator chaps don't think I royally mess this one up too much!

The M-1 on its way west towards the capitol Cook, one of only two national motorways on Key Island. The tunnel was constructed in 1998 as shipping lanes became more prominent in travel of both people and goods from the Island to Australia, New Zealand and the outside world. A common site, the passing of ships which blow their horns as they pass each other, bring crowds of both Cook inhabitants and international travelers.

Pocksis - How interesting, I didn't even think about that as I put that in, I just figured it would be more of an artpeice than an actual propaganda landmark. Anyway thanks for the informing post, hopefully you have some more tips!

Wow that is AMAZINGLY realstic. I love the water, the trees, the tunnel, everything.

BTW I noticed you have the pageflip bug too. I'll get that little son of a gun one of these days

[Shingure 56]

I simply adore underwater tunnels. Looks nice Luke and a new region, Hmm This will be interesting indeed. I look forwards to seeing it in the New Year. Happy 09!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

A delicious eye candy treat to start 2009 off the right. And, I know one of our beloved moderators will be ecstatic to see the wonderful treatment you have given to kiwiland!

[Deionn 137]

Schulmanator: You are so ...ozay!

And so is this cj! Nice job Amerikaner...Happy New Years!

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

Awesome harbor crossing, I really like the tunnel and the trees! Great terraforming, it would be cool to see a New Zealand type CJ, there are tons of Auckland and Australian-like building there for you to use, it could be a nice departure from usual European cjs we're used to.

[allez l'om 1]

This mosaic is breathtaking!! I have never ever seen a landscape as much realisitic as you have done!!! Just one thing, you should to get away the boats because they are a little bit closed!!!

[SirUnger 13]

WOW, I'm speachless! AWESOME update!!! You have the most beautiful CJ I've ever sawn! Your pics look so realistic (how do you get this? ) and there is such beautiful nature.

May I ask you what terrain mod you are using?

Happy new year!

 

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Nice mosaic mate! The colours are fascinating. Happy New Year!

[tankmank 853]

Amazing update and Happy new year

[blue sinjid 7]

Wow this has got to be one of amzing sc4 pics ever! Seems you like horizonatally flipping pictures eh? XD

[Craig91 12]

Your updates never cease to amaze me, I have to agree with the above comment Happy New Year!

[art128 4,622]

splendid update my friend

[pipishere 3]

A Fantabulous Update!!!!!

[CarmineHilton 6]

I was looking at the pictures and went like: "Since when does Tyrol have a sea-border???"... I tend to look at all images first and then read

But I see you're going to make this more of a showcase thread? Well, I'm happy with that! Will be able to find some hot eyecandy in here then =)

A FINE FRENZY DAY TO TAKE A DRIVE

Our journey begins today in the small town of Melrose, which is about 12 Km south of Cook. The city is a haven for overworked cook inhabitants that need a break to go surfing or tan on the famous rocky beaches of South Hampton. Houses row up against the jagged coast and small comunities pop up where ever the mountains break to give room. The city of Melrose however is also the home of Canterbury's Wanatakeitcomegetit Submarine Base, which allows residents some of the most amazing views of submarines leaving the bay.

Just above the city of Cook the Wanatapeti Highway curves and snakes along the slowly rising mountains that surrounded the city. Numerous development plans for this area have sparked much outrage as citizens of Cook push for National Park refuge in this area. The Highway was until 1996 the only way to reach Melrose and Southgate until the M1 was expanded.
