POSTE DE LA BALEINE, so beautiful!

Keep it up, don't listen to your boss! =)

I can just never get enough of your pics.......They always seem so vibrant and colorful....

[Kwakelaar 92]

Fredval you are doing a great job with this CJ it looks really beautiful, I especially like your last mosaic of the Akpatok Island (how do you come up with such a name?)
The colors in your images do they come from Cycledogs mod or are you working them over in Photoshop? Anyway it is looking so much better than the original colors used by Maxis in the game.

Here is a more detailed view of MONK ISLAND. Only monks live there, thus the name of the island... Simple !

excellent work,great update

[aasim45 1]

Beautiful!!!

Just Superb!!!

Kwakelaar : Akpatok really exists on Earth. It is in Northern Canada. To improve the Maxis colours I generally increase Contrast under Photoshop (+10)

 

Sc4frk : thanx and welcome on this thread

 

Crispbread : the seaport is Japanese made. you will find it in the Japanese thread... And believe it or not, my boss does not leave me any choice

 

Jglei : You're right but whalers of Eole Islands are really brave

[dhoppeii 12]

Again, more wonderful pics.  I love the look of the lighthouse.  The global shot is amazing as well.....Is that a crane I see off in the distance......?  Perhaps we will find out in an upcoming update.....

[Kwakelaar 92]

Excellent update again.
And if you don't mind me asking, where does that monastery come from, I have been searching for something like that for quite a long time.

[fredval 26]

Dhoppeii : Thanks for the comments !  No it is not a crane. It's just a lighthouse and a ship

Kwakelaar : The monastery is a Japanese one (i love this thread !) It was on one of the first pages as far as I remember...

 

Now I've started another city, north from HACKENSACK. It is ROCKAWAY BEACH !

 

Here is a picture of the current development :

 

 

It still needs a lot of work, but a very enjoyable work

Stunning pictures of those islands, and nice use of PEG's lighthouses. Note to self: Seeing how they look so nice here, I've gotta find a way to use them myself...

[andrew george 0]

Very good updates indeed, stunning scenery and the pic with the clock and the cemetery is excellent!

[jacqulina 162]

wow awesome pics and great islands,excellent work such detail

[Kwakelaar 92]

Rockaway Beach is developing very nicely, and again lots of small things to see.
Guess I will have to browse through the Japanese thread again, I have obviously missed a few things. Thanks!

Nice terraforming with these islands and cool to see that you finally found the time to start a new city. ROCKAWAY BEACH looks really nice (the name reminds me a famous punk song).

[the_crispbread_witch 0]

Lovely colour in the Rockaway pic. More close-ups of the beach, are those bouys? (spelling?)

Can you tell us how you plop the boats? (Reveal some secrets!)

He he he... You mean a famous punk song of the same band who did Pet Cemetary, Judy is a Punk, Now I wanna snif some glue, Blitzkrieg Bop, Rock & Roll HighSchool, California Sun and so on ?  If yes, we probably think to the same band. So gabba gabba hey ! 

 

 

Thanks to everybody for the very gentle comments. It's cool to see that this thread can remain on the 1st page more than 1 hour. It gives motivation

 

I'd just like to show you the small village of OCONTO (2 km west from ROCKAWAY BEACH) :

 

OCONTO produces a really nice red wine, one of the best (and largest) production all over the planet.

And here is a cool lama breeding farm. I have to confess that I'm quite proud of it (except the windmill which doesn't fit and needs to be reworked (adjusted to the slop)) :

I hope you will like it !

 

Now I need to play a little bit more with ROCKAWAY BEACH...

Come back soon

[dhoppeii 12]

More wonderful pics Fredval  I really like the llama farm......

[Kwakelaar 92]

It is still looking so fresh and again nice details in your pictures.
You must be making a lot new lots for this CJ, I think I recognize a lot of props from different people (and Maxis).

[lilou 1]

This vineyard and the lamas farm are astounding.
You put so much realism into it

EDIT : Oh btw, yes I was thinking to the RAMONES. A great band

[lookinin 2]

Your farms look beautiful fredval - I like the Eole Islands pic above especially. Great farms, keep up the good work!

[jacqulina 162]

what great farms good work

[fredval 26]

I'm definitely not as talented as  Mickebear but here is a new map of Aldebaran Northern Islands with the localization of ROCKAWAY BEACH :

[Kwakelaar 92]

Fredval don't be so modest, your CJ are one of the best around. Mickebear also have a great CJ, but with different qualities.
By the way nice to see a overview of your region so far.
