REST: Yea, so now that I had a few days to think I've thrown away the old model and come up with this new one. Same project, though. It's light years ahead of my last attempt, but I can't help but feel it still needs work. Mainly the skins are too repetitive. I'll have to tinker with it a little, but you can get the general idea of my project.

Also walls of fortifications of the period tend, well actually in all examples I know of are not straight vertical.quote> Yea I know, but that would take too long to fix. Thanks for the feedback, though. I get the impression that I've come back to this site at the tail-end of BAT design popularity. Many of the veterans seem to be gone, or occupied with other things. If things were different maybe I could have become a truly talented BAT artist when I first started. As it is my shoddy skills should have to suffice.

You invade our little worlds with your "logic" and "chain of ever-growing, irrefutable evidence" just to wreck up our day. Well you know what? I don't have to eat that "baloney" sandwich, mister. I'll go to my house of God, give up 10% of my yearly income, go through the motions of yet another sermon contrived to guilt me into obedience and rule my life, and live in fear of a celestial spanking from a supernatural boogey man if I want. In fact, and considering all the logic of a mere theory that suggests "monkeys turned into people," I can't see why everyone doesn't do the same as me. That's why me and my friends pressure "non-believers" into conforming with us and lobby so hard to get the US congress to pass bills that force our beliefs on others. You're so crazy with "evolutionitis" that you've lost your ability to think straight. Let US do the thinking for you. Trust me, I know whats best for you. Also, if you don't go along with it the invisible boogey manI worship will cook you with sulfur and lava. You want that? Didn't think so.

Been working pretty steady on my 18th century fortress. Here are some more screens. It's pretty much ready for textures, as far as I can tell. It will be called Fort William Alexander and count as a museum. HERE is another image. HERE is a third.

This thread is an inspiration. I enjoy historic works more and this one is something I've been dreaming for a long time. This is just an hour of work trying to get back into the BAT after a year. It's going to be a restored 18th century fortress. The idea is to make it a ploppable landmark that counts as a museum. I'm using Fort Bourtange, Fort Carolyn, Fort Independence, and Fort McHenry as inspiration for my own fictional work. The ditches are going to be a challenge for me, but I'm up to it! This is one project, though, that I think is missing from the STEX.

Been a long time and not too many familiar faces. Short of the long, my comp crashed, I lost ALLL my work and new models in progress. Then we moved. Just now getting back into the game. Real life been kicking my butt a little too. But I'm back and maybe I'll ante up and kick in something new soon.

After seeing the screen shots they posted I sighed and instantly understood that my greatest fears had been realized. The new "Sim Societies" will be nothing more than a society sim. I specifically avoided the "Sims" series because that does not interest me. This new Sim City looks to be a way for "Sims" players to interact together online in user-generated societies. *sigh* Makes me want to give myself an air bubble embolism with a dirty AIDS infested meth needle.

Why call this work crap, sloppet? Looks awesome to me. Wish I had the programs to do what you have with the photos. Looks like polaroids. How cool is that?

sweet! What seawalls are you using in the previous update? Your work seems well-planned out.
