P.R. Crastina's Travels (SC4)

Yo --

VERY nice, indeed.  I haven't gotten into logging, yet -- but it looks like you pretty much nailed it!

You're a though act to follow! ;->

Looks great!  Very organic and very realistic.  I especially like the 2nd picture and the last one. 

I know it's convenient and all, but don't deforest too much...

Thank you (both), but (dreadnought), I only tried to honor Master Paeng, the creator of that logging set ; everybody interested should go see the real thing :

   Very nice indeed , you definitely nailed it . You are following in the footsteps of the Great Master Paeng . The lumber mill , 4th pic down  Awesome .

Journey through Paengia  is one of my favorite CJ's of all time , and yours is catching up to it with each entry . You have learned alot from Master Paeng , I take .

I did, and still do. And I'll never catch up (as I don't lot, for one !). I doubt anyone will. But every SC4 player should. He is an inspiration.  And he made so many great lots ! Not always big shiny things but smaller lots or sets that are absolutely necessary when painting a landscape or a city... "Painting", that's the operative word here. He's a painter. SC4 is not only about skyscrapers and 3 millions habs megapolis or jaw-dropping NAM spaghettis, howver fun that is now and then:-). It'sabout  using the difficult tricks of 2D to paint as realistic possible a 3D image as we can, be it country or city. Anyhoo, that's what I like about it !:-)

Very nice city journal, indeed. I really looks like a real life scene. Can't imagine how many efforts you spent in placing all those MMPs :-)

If you allow me to ask: You seem to use a set of dirt roads I haven't seen before. Any hints where to find them?

Very, very nice. Great MMP work and great deployment of the various lumber/forestry mods out there in SC4.

The logging roads ? They're a relot of Peg's by Paeng, to go with his logging set.  http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27284-paengs-mtp-logging-addon-vol02/

and, just in case you want moar stuff:-) NBVC's : http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27240-logging-set/

Wow, that's obviously not something you see everyday on here. I think your being too modest, maybe no one will match what Paeng has done but your work is nothing to scoff at either. You did a helluva job yourself painting the landscape with activity there.

(blushing...)

Wow, this is just incredible work. So realistic!

Aaack!  Clearcutting!!

Ahh, well.  All that wood has to come from somewhere.  Beautiful job as always, ma'am.
