This is going to be a fantastic BAT, which may even rival Kings Cross, if it ever gets released onto the STEX (I'll stop mentioning the Cross now)...

    kings cross seems to be doing well, a reminder that you need the
    railway props pack! avaliable here:

    https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=Prop&Str=BSC%20Railyard%20Props%20Vol1

    an update on stpauls:
    changed the stone colour, and also extended the building,
    cant really tell the lot size yet, but the width is 4 tiles so far

    stpauls2.jpg

    so far its reached 170,000 polys and already its lagging 26.gif

    p.s err ignore the floating walls nxt to it... those are just templates i use for the walls. its not part of the real thing

    update time :
    Stpauls3.jpg
    its beginning to look like a building site now with all the template pieces scattered around 14.gif
    so far ive built halfway of the cathedral layout, at the left to the part ive currently built is the famous dome, (great view from there 10.gif ) once i make the textues for those i'll also update the minature domes.
    any pics of the cathedral are appreciated 29.gif

    I can see why it's lagging. There is so much fine detail on it! You have become one of a few elite BATters.

    That's sad that you had to give up on St. Pauls. Though your new project looks good. The glass is especially nice.

    Has this been built? I don't think I've ever seen it before.
     
    Froggie, please don't give up on St Paul's, it's going to be an amazing BAT when complete.

    update:
    unionsq1.jpg
    looking at the design i maybe need to do the whole roof section again 14.gif14.gif14.gif that took ages
    i tried i test render and it turned out waaaaaay too short, heres another pic:
    US7height.jpg
    i underestimated the size of it, i reckoned it was meant to be 30 tiles high but made it less because it looked too tall, the bank of china and sears tower should be a good landmark to compare height.

    lord bertrum: as much as i'd like to continue it i cant, it just goes too slow, i dont have the powerful computer to continue it, if anyone else is interested in continueing then i'll be happy to send the model
