@Simmer2 Choo Choo hype train! They look stellar

[raynev1 1,886]

@Simmer2 Those train cars and containers look awesome , but I don't know if the stacked cars will fit through a tunnel portal .  They really do look nice though .

@tonyr That waterfront looks fabulous .

THE JADE BIGHT II

WILHELMSHAVEN WEST:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

This is a small neighborhood north of the city center of Wilhelmshaven West.  Rather small, it grew up around the gasthaus built here many years ago where some local sport fishers used to have a camp.  The place became so popular that people decided to live there.  Gradually they added a few piers and patios -- and even a second floor on the gasthaus.  It has now become quite the place for locals and all the small boats on the BodenSee.  A rather cozy spot to put in for a schnitzel and a pint of the local brew. 

 

It does, however, present a few personal problems.  Something of a tricky place to land a seaplane the begin with, that pilot is going to sweat bullets when he tries to take off after getting a belly full of beer !! (lol)  Or -- he can take one of the upstairs rooms and sleep it off.

 

The marina is tucked in at the bottom of the hill below the neighborhood and enjoys a good deal of walk in trade from the locals.

 

 

 

And -- a detail shot.

[9gruntsand1hammer 3,198]

Downtown Prince.

The Marnia District in Pointe Des Chenes.

The area around Sault Ste. Marie International Airport. I'm still working on this area because I'm not quite happy with it yet. The airport is nothing special, it's just a Maxis airport.

The Hotel District for the airport. I took inspiration from Dixon/ Airport Road in Toronto when I made this area.

[Cacciatoria 28]

I'm currently working on the Haverkamp neighborhood in the capital of New Scotland, Dumfries. 

Located in downtown Dumfries, Haverkamp was designed by South African expat Maarten Haverkamp in the early 1900s. The district became home to one of the largest Dutch/Afrikaans-speaking populations in the United States, with roughly 67.5% of the neighborhoods residents tracing their ancestry back to the Netherlands or South Africa. The district's western side, mostly along West Street, is home to a large student population due to its close proximity to New Scotland University.

[Haljackey 17,380]

I've been working on a number of things this weekend.

[Simmer2 23,827]

Besides the containers there is something new to show. I may include a set on one of my upcoming lots. More pics on my thread here

Can you spot it?

That locomotive looks cool! Awesome job with the container lots, especially because you added new brands that are very present here in European ports. I'm sure I'll use that Maersk Sealand, Hamburg Süd and "K" Line containers a lot! 

[matias93 7,535]

Those are rail props!? That's a really absurd new level of realism! Now the RRW doesn't look so real anymore...

[VALASatoshi 1,130]

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Miami meets Hong Kong? In any case, that's some neat traffic layout! Love the smooth ramps and bridges. If this was real, I'd be sad that the coast line is so full of skyscrapers and the little islands disappear under a highway, but it sure is an interesting scenario for SimCity.

[PaleoCardio 150]

Currently working on developing my first attempt at a 3 stacked roundabout. This was my 2nd attempt at anything with the RHW and pretty pleased about it.

This will act as a main thoroughfare to cities beyond on all 4 sides so they can easily get there quickly. I am not sure what to do with developing this area, whether to leave it small scale with a small town here and there or go full on and develop a grid system with residential, industry and commercial.  

 

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@Dreadnought where'd you get the ploppable seaplane?

[VALASatoshi 1,130]

@T Wrecks Haha yes that is a perfect way of putting it and thank you!  The other side of the tile will be the other side of the bay but with a beach with high-rise as well, with both sides also backing into mountain ranges like Hong Kong.  The idea of that highway is basically it's built on man-made islands that serve to block the strong currents for the enormous coastal harbour that will continue to stretch down in both directions.  I am fascinated by and love large, dense urban areas on the water - like most large world cities are. I also live in one and have lived in others hence my cities being dense and hi-rise . The skyscrapers on the coast will be home to people who want/are able to acquire waterfront property and besides a few lower levels would all be able to see out past the islands/highway to overlook the Bay and other side, which will be high rise buildings up to a beach.  That was all mainly grown residential - can't wait to plop other fine work done by the community into my business districts and share the future of this tile but until then here's a close up shot - Cheers!

 

Edit: added an extra picture of a bit of progress

[Artimus 485]

A scene in the works. Definitely going to be in my next CJ update, . 

[11241036 5,108]

@Artimus Wow, that is really well-looking! Is this a special beach mod, or did you paint it with some MMP's? I'd really like to know, this is something I've been missing for a long time - a way to make a beach like this. Also, the transition with feather grass, bushes and plants looks well.

[Artimus 485]

Well, @11241036 the beachhead is either part of the terrain mod I am using, which is the Pyrenean terrain mod, and/or a white beach texture I got off at the Simtropolis Exchange. Im also glad that you like it as well!

That's either Paeng's Island Air -- or -- Paeng's Pond Air.  (Probably Island Air.)  Should be on either LEX or STEX.

THE JADE BIGHT II

WILHELMSHAVEN WEST:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

Southwest of the main city I had this region of "finger lakes" and marshes and I wasn't at all sure what I could do with it.  Then it hit me -- Wilhelmshaven is located on land bought from the Duchy Of Oldenburg.  And what's a "duchy" without -- a castle !

This is Castle Rastede, hereditary home to the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg.  Abandoned since 1931, the poor old thing was wasting away to a ruin -- until His Royal Highness Christian Nikolaus Udo Peter Herzog Von Oldenburg decided to turn it into a tourist attraction, banquet hall, and corporate meeting venue.

 

 

This is the tourist car park -- note the public restrooms to the right of the path, and a ticket kiosk to the left.

 

 

And here we have a small restaurant with some sidewalk tables to one side and an even smaller gift shop behind the restaurant.  Parking for the tour buses is at the far end of the complex.  Only 6 Euros for an hour tour.

 

And -- for those of you that are interested -- a shot of the approach bridge.

 

 

[f3cs 1,063]

This is Cosmos/Allianz Arena Station, One of the most used in the Bellingham. Is the Intersection between Line 2 of Metro and Line D of Commuter Rail (The city uses letter system for Commuter Rail and number for Metro as a rule of thumbs). Due it's prime location, The station also attends universities, stadiums (That put the name on the station) and one of the most used avenues in the city, the Avenida Manchester. To ensure full access to the station, a footbridge was attached next to the station, crossing the rail and linking Estrada das Lágrimas and the end of Avenida Cosmos to Avenida Manchester.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Brilliant work everybody!

[Simmer2 23,827]

Just finished making SM2 Gantry Container Crane and here are some pics with it at work. I should have the prop pack and a starting set of lots made soon enough. The Real 3D Rail set will not be included in the pack at this time, I will release them on a more detailed lot I have been working on.

It's been a while... I put away a little bit the lotting things (I guess I burnt out a little bit), I'm just enjoying the game. Now I show some pictures from the last 2-3 mounts. I work on two city Noir City - North Harbour Distric (first few pictures) and Noir City - CounterPoint District. During the next month I'm gonna open the 3rd and 4th cities. Each city tile has different styles as you can see on the pictures. I wanted to show these pictures 2-3 weeks ago, but before my holiday (a very nice and interesting journey mostly by train across Western and Midle Europe - from London to Cologne (via Brussels)-Strassbourg (France)-Zurich-Lugano-Milano-Budapest (my home city)-Vienna-Salzburg-Munich-London route) I didn't have time, a lot of RL stuff came into my way. Since then I moved a new flat, I needed to establish my computer system again, so I was quite busy.

Well... Pictures...

Noir City, North Harbour District

1. Older W2W style. Well I still keep fighting with the lots, because sometimes hard to grow the proper looking buildings. (Therefore in my next city, the housing and lower commercial sites will be all custom made).

(Probably I will replace those brownish Common Court low-wealth residentals some point)

 

2. Noir City - CounterPoint

Well, that it for now. 

I started to work a few new Lots as an expansion to the SeaPorts, so probably there will be some lotting WIP in the next few weeks.
