Berlin - Past, present and future

[Odd from Sweden 129]

I just found the right answer to a 1/2-year old or so question... Erdmoebel You once asked about the original building for Your corner lot with that grand portico and two towers? I then suggested that it was a hotel at Potsdamer Platz, hmm actually i thougt it was not such a great model, because it differed to some extent from the original... well now I have reconcidered it after finding a better match in the real world. It was called the Kaiser-Gallerie and was situated at Unter den Linden/ Friedrichstrasse/ Behrenstrasse (for those of You who do not know Berlin, it is THE location for exclusive shopping). This building had not a courtyard, but a great shopping galleria a little like this famous one in Milano... You will find lots of pics in www.bildindex.de -> Profanbau / Gesch

It is hard to get the stupid sims to build what you want ! Well, there is a way to help them to understand what the mayor wants. When I zone, I zone 1x1, 1x2 or 2x2 sones with gaps inbetween. Then the sims build their houses, and they cannot build larger than 2x2 of course. This forces them to build small and compact, no larger lots with parking spaces and such. When You have nice w2w buildings (maybe after some helpful demolishing), landmark the buildings and fill the gaps with new zones and let more w2w houses develop.

I bet you

The facade looks really good, like those buildings that were cheaply fixed up after the war. But those buildings do never have dormers, when they were built only five res/com floors was allowed and the attics were only for storage - with only very few and small windows. Dormers are only added on lately renovated buildings. I would suggest more and smaller chimneys as well for better realism. Keep up the good work!

After several weeks of abstinence I decided it

[madawac 48]

Good to see you BATing again
And better to see you making a new version of the Reichstag
And your start is simply stunning!
I hope in this version you gonna make a better cupola, maybe also with the mirrors inside(Ok, just nitelightning would also be OK)
So good luck with your new old project

[frogface 354]

the front is looking quite good so far, thanks for trying this again, the reichstag is one of my favourites

[Erdmoebel 225]

This time I' ll make a realistic cupola with that mirror column inside and all the steel beams on the outside it's wrapped in. Whatever.. today I almost finished the main portal section:

[SpartanBadger 4]

Wow! You really have a talent for this; that Reichstag looks excellent!

 

Es ist sehr gut!

[gerAndi 29]

WOW, das sieht einfach nur mal geil aus

I live in Berlin and I have to say that it looks like the real Reichstag ( or the Bundestag)

And If you're seariching for some more ideas , you could start to work for example one the Schloss Sanssouciin Potsdam (near Berlin) or on something in Potsdams Schlossgarten

Here some pic's
(Falls du interesse haben soltest, weil du ja sagtest, da

[Erdmoebel 225]

I'd love to make Schloss Sanssouci after the new Reichstag is finshed. The castle itself shouldn' t be too difficult. The Neues Palais would be the real challenge about it

[madawac 48]

Yeah, Sanssouci would be very cool and you're right, the Neue Palais would be more diffucult than the actual Sanssouci, just cause one part is nothing more than rubble if I can remember it correctly
So, maybe Schloss Charlottenburg would also be awesome, but I think, I may let it be as an option for me to build

P.S.: Kommst vielleicht ma wieder innen IRC-Chan?

[gerAndi 29]

Schloss Charlottenburg would be very nice too

PS: das neue palais , is das nich auch son schloss im potsdamer schlosspark ?

 

 

[madawac 48]

Sorry, but this post is totally german

Das Neue Palais ist kein eigenes Schloss, ist eine Art Nebengeb

[gerAndi 29]

sorry ,aber das kommt wohl auf die aufl

[madawac 48]

The letters are there, just look
You see them directly between the still life and the columns

[SpartanBadger 4]

That was pretty cool, I understood a chunk of what you guys were saying there. Haha just thought I'd let you know.

[gerAndi 29]

hehe

Now I see it too

I just didn't see , because it's so little

 

Sorry, but I have to write in german now , because I don't know you to say it in englich

 

Willst du auch diesen Rundgang in der Kuppel so gestalten , da

[Simbourgeois 139]

It's great to see the Reichstag being recreated!!! And it looks fantastic so far, although your old model was also great

You said that you would like to build some buildings from Stuttgart, you still up to that? I lived in Schw

[madawac 48]

The Stuttgart Fernsehturm is already done by Meister-Z, look here

EDIT: Yeah, 100. post

[gerAndi 29]

[Erdmoebel 225]

Woah, how psychedelic
gerandi is right, I can' t see the pictures, too. Maybe something's wrong with the URL? I posted this picture yesterday evening on insims.de:

As you can see I started to work on the wings. The polygon count already exceeds my previous model and the wings are by far not finished yet. The picture is scaled down (photobucket wouldn't accept the original size) so some details are blurry or hardly visible

[gerAndi 29]

that looks sooooooooo great and realistic

great work

 

 

 

 

 

Ps: hast du denn als Student so viel Zeit f
