Alright folks, no junk here, just a display of current projects...and what not. Straight to the point, and no wasted time.....well here I go. First BAT...well...first one i am actually going to show.... Charter Communications, Greenville, SC .....Simple enough I suppose....maybe I won't screw it up. Well, this Charter building is a suburban office building...which intrest me more than huge un-BATable things....I haven't started the 'official' model, just a 'sample' to get a feel for what it's gonna be like. I am a major perfectionist...so let's see how this turns out.. well, here ya go, a 'sample' pre-modeling...model: Take it or leave it...it's just a sample...i'll start the actual model right now...

Well the Southtrust Bank Plaza is on hold, I have started a new building: ( The industrial park up the road from me is where this shot was taken from) With a little research, and some poor BAT skills, I came up with this (in the above pic, you see the edge of this one toward the right) I have been inside of this particular plant, it's quite..'nice'... Here's some other pics of 'er: Without roof junk yet: And some untextured doorways, near the entrance: The game is definately lacking industry like this, so i'm making a series actually. I have several plants on my list, all of which are located up the road. These include: Caterpillear GlaxoSmithKline EuroLex Sony Continental Teves SKF More pics as I get them

I love how that railroad kinda snakes through those trees...that's very realistic! (btw, i assume you're going for a Southern look? if so I suggest more churches, SG had a good church pack on the stex..)

Originally posted by: Duke87 You should have a different poll up. Nobody denies that global warming is actually happening, the question is how much of it is caused by human activity and how much of it is natural.quote> I do. And I have legit reasoning to support my opinion; It's Spring! Things warm up in the spring time! And you think this little warm spell is bad, you'll never survive Summer! Nah, i'm just messing with you There ain't no global warming, just another cycle in the Earth that is follow the Sun's unusual past few decades. It just so happens that CO2 Emissions are present this time around. CO2 is very much natural, since all pollutants are also given off by things in nature. It's a natural process, so give it a rest already.

When it comes down to those maps...At least Saudi Arabia is truthful And, what exactly is 'free'? you kinda have to have certain guidelines or some kinda definintion to go by..

nice job! I like the system of canals, very nice! (better than i can do..those park menu clutterers )

I remember my pre-teen years being a bit rounder in the middle, however I seemed to have jumped about a foot and a half in height, and it disappeared I work out and play baseball and run cross country, however i eat more fast food than anyone else im sure But now I dont' really gain weight no matter how much i eat. Just for future reference, people get a bit fatter before getting tall..at least that applies to children all the way to teens. You can be obese without being fat. Simple as that...however, it seems those two very distinct terms have become less and less obscure. And yeah, I don't doubt there is a fat gene..but not only one gene controls one thing..it's a mix of several i think..

Interstates, however useful they are, cause disastrous sprawl, sprawl mostly occurs along interstates. As for Houston, i suppose a'beltway' is a bypass? confusing...Anyways, the only good sprawl is well hidden industrial kind (we seem to get a lot of that now throughout the South). The interstates caused many small towns to shrivel up to nearly nothing, but it does provide for a unique backroad USA experience.

very nice! i especially like how you photoshopped the farm field up to that railraod curve

i'm a little late but get rid of the high mast lighting it's not pretty other than that, love the way this is going, especially they region pic

Japan, if a commuter train runs slow by 1 or 2 seconds, the driver will get so harassed that they will either quit their job/get fired or commit suicide or something like that.quote> who told you that? at least point us at some sources as i find that hard to believe..

sticks & stones...

no offense...but NOTHING is scaled right in the game

Lovein' the Newspaper, keep up the good work

I have brought gifts! *reaches into bag* Speaks for itself no? Blends well in a city setting: Now, with that finished, next is the Capitol Building of Columbia, South Carolina, USA. (Link). I tried to make it..it went well, this is the draft model with the roof unfinished and entrance not yet in place, just thought i'd do a draft to show you guys how much i've gotten so far: oh and here she goes in game: (next to some other buildings for comparison) Enjoy!

Don't hover the piece over stations, lay track, then add stations. And always save before laying GLR

That's a mighty fine chunk of real estate, can't wait to see how it's developed

Woah! beebs that is some mighty fine city building there And the trees are very dense too! me likey!

That region is incredible! And the newspaper...so awesome (and my my, it's rather cold )

oh very cool! if that's a teaser, i can't wait for the update
