Darsingborough || Oxewood || No witty title this time, sorry

Ying Blanc

Thanks everybody, sorry for the late update, I kinda was leaving this off to make sure it's posted mid-week (I want to be in one of them top ten lists so bad @_@) but I kinda forgot that that was what I was doing. But enjoy this next entry. And Novak, it's that other one, not RHM but like....I think it was made by the same people, I'm not sure, I think it's called the Network Widening Mod...but don't take me as gospel, this is off the top of my head.

We enter Oxewood from the south, one of 3 or 4 entrances into the village that is rather well connected up to the rest of the rural area.

We move further north, and we start strolling through main street Oxewood. You can see that most of the settlement is only 1 thich (in buildings) backing right into fields, even for the shops.

Going near the back and beyond of Oxewood, we reach this eye-sore, some idiot thought that Darsingborough will become the new capital (which it might just....in 200 years...) and built a residential block in the edge of the village, which now resides around 80% empty. The plans are to knock it down, and replace it with a new school...speaking of schools...

This here is the only primary school in a long distance, This has enough space to teach maybe 200-300 pupils in 2 floors, as well as lots of space for break, lunch and physical education.

Now we move into Oxewood Forest, the forest that basically gave the name of the village, you can't see it in this picture though, this is one of the largest farm building lots in the area, but rather small size fields.

Here we see the extensive forests, bordered on all sides by fields. Again this is another small farm building area that was a converted barn, half of it being used for intended purposes, and the other for the actual farm-house, with all the modern additions inside it.

Finally here is a collage of the private airport that is situated right beside Oxewood Forest, attending to the Cessna's of the well off. I hope it would be easy to see where the runways and taxiways are.

Wow. Did you hand-plop all those trees? That's dedication if you did! Looks great. :)

Love that Ying. The pictures are very detailed. I think you may want to try to increase shadow detail before taking your pictures though. It would really improve some of the open field shots. By the way, is that a float plane in that field? :P

Kinda old fashioned.

 

That's how rural Britain is, jeez dude, cut criticizing all the time, I can just feel it, it's very annoying, Simtropolis is a friendly, don't bash him like that, especially that his update is great.

 

Cut the criticizing all the time, it gets tiring and does not make people want to go further

 

Thanks ;)
