    petriknl: Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.. I've wanted to use that little church for a long time. The lot was made about 3 years ago, and recently I've updated it to suit the city style better.

    Here's the latest installment of picture spam!

    Starting off.. here is a convention center located just outside the downtown, in the suburb of Malta.

    Moving back to the heart of downtown we come across a recently built concert hall .. NMU (National Metropolitan University) Nicknamed the Spidey Center after it's chief architect Mr. Spidey. Home to the Asgard symphony orchestra, it also houses the southern hemispheres largest pipe organ.

    Awesome. :O

    I especially love the retaining walls scattered throughout the update, and the road galleries in the Chinese embassy photos are spectacular!

    Wow stunning update!! The details are so amazing and everything looks completely natural. I love the multiple levels with that retaining wall and the use of diagonals and curves! The photo editing and details are jaw-dropping! Great work looking forward to the next pics!

    International Embassies Part2!

    Replies:

    emperordaniel: Thanks for the comments, I'm glad I rediscovered some old bats and lots that could be made new again. Those retaining areas took forever to get right, lots of trial and error.

    jack3oh3: Thanks for the comment .. no trams unfortunately, although since being forced to leave your union, the city you are thinking of has been easily converted in to another city of Asgard and I might be posting pictures soon.

    jag140: Thanks for sharing your opinion, I thought the cold concrete would be perfect as a landmark building in that surrounding area.

    Markus J: Haha .. thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. :P

    crazychickensc12: Sorry the next lot of pictures took awhile to come, but I hope you like them just as much.

    SimCoug: Thank you for the comment, custom lots are my thing.. lol .. glad you liked the effort I put in.

    vivapanda: Love embassies and how different they are everywhere you go.. thanks for commenting. :wub:

    sim_link: Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.. I relotted the car park myself as I thought the original one was outdated for this building. Just a fresh twist that the batter probably didn't think about, but the lots are just as important as the bats.

    rewright: Thanks heaps for the comments, glad you liked it. :wub:

    This next installment is part2 of the Embassies!

    Starting off firstly.. we take a look at the Embassy building that houses the Scandinavian Nations of Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland.

    embassyscandinavia01.jpg

    Next we move on to the French Embassy... This building was a originally the official residence of the French President when he visited Asgard before it's independence in 1954 .

    More info can be found on the Asgard Wiki page == Click Here ==

    Last on the quick tour, we visit the fellow AIN member Nation of Lower Columbia.

    That was crazy I opened this to see if there happened to be an update since it's been awhile and lo an behold there was one today!! The embassies are gorgeous with the French one being my favorite I love the flora around there! The teaser of the new city looks great and the region is looking awesome as well. I love the way the diagonals look in the region shot and all of the waterways too!! Great job all around looking forward to the new update!

    The French embassy is, just as in reality, by far the most beautiful!

    I like your wiki page as well, great to read some more background info :D

    emperordaniel: Glad to see you here and still commenting, and I appreciate it very much. The Island is a memorial to the end of the Sk'uuyat Nation in USNW, I really wish I didn't have to leave, but being repeatedly harassed and bullied by one of the members and the admins being unable or unwilling to discipline them made it necessary.

    vivapanda: Thank you for your support, It is greatly appreciated. Glad you took the time to look over the wiki, I hope it wasn't too boring.

    Hazani Pratama: Many thanks for the comments.

    crazychickensc12: Glad you enjoyed the update, and I appreciate the constant support and feedback. :wub:

    A new update already you say? What is happening? ... lol

    I've been playing a bit this week, and after several comments about the lots I decided to show of some more lots, these are luxury estates that either I've created or that I think are stunning in their own right and don't need to be changed at all.

    Introduction to Winwaloe!

    Replies:

    Twenty20: Thanks! Happy for the feedback and glad for the comment.

    jacksunny: Thanks for the comments and the feedback.. very glad you enjoyed the update.

    sim_link: Once again thanks for the constant support and the feedback... really glad you enjoyed it.

    Benedict: One of my favorite lots from MattB .. didn't have to change a thing!

    vivapanda: Thanks for the comments and support, I love that last one too. Reminds me of the School in X-Men.

    A new update ... Sorry it's been so long .. I've been busy working and stuff. So I hope you enjoy these pictures.

    I've been playing a different region a bit, experimenting a little with different lots I've never used before, like the Japanse canal system. I've also made a few different tram terminal lots to be different and I've enjoyed playing with the GLR ... Something I've never used due to the CTD issues sometimes with these lots. But I've been lucky and happy with the result thus far.
