(SC4)The Macau Stories

What a lovely entry, are they custom BATs?

damn :O now that's one heck of an update good job !! :D

Awesome stuff! I really like that MMP and shoreline work. The photo editing looks sharp too. Great post.

Dayum, look at all doz details! You really nailed the vibe.

I like that custom lotting ;)

Great job you did! :)

Very charming indeed! :wub:

This is just superb!! +999999

Wonderful update, though the dates confuse me.

 

It was my understanding that the 17th century referred to the 1600s, but the dates in your pictures are from circa 1570. Is that merely a discrepancy between narrative and photo, or an honest mix-up of dates?

 

Nice MMP work, though, and the scene as a whole is very well composed. The people seem too sparse, though, and generally too small. It took me a while to even spot the ones I did (4-5?).

The dates are correct. According to my research the foundry was started in 1557, which is mid 16th century. The golden time of the foundry was in 1620s, and things changed in 1650s. These happened in the 17th century, as narrated in this CJ. The images above tried to depict the foundry in 1570, which is the developing stage of the business. To the second comment, I agree that the people are too small and too sparse to be seen. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice! What is the Japanese on the side of each picture supposed to mean?
