  1. Anduin Valley Revisited

    Thanks for the link Darmok.....The previews look great....I really like that church and the castle walls...Unfortunately no Stout for me tonight....Gotta work in the a.m. jacqulina - I read your remarks earlier and Darmok's response. I have to say that what he told me way back on page 5 was the reason I started my CJ. I have been having a great time since. Regards...
  2. Show us your Accomplishment!!

    Nardo69 - I really like your use of Oppie's Canal Set nirgal23 - Nice job using Jeronij's trail set. kavselj - There is absolutely nothing wrong with your city. I really like your use of trees. The area looks very green and inviting.

    Well, we say goodbye to Sa Pusa in fitting manner. Wonderful looking pics. I have to agree, the area with the schools turned out beautifully. The textile factory in Costa Tramuntana looks great. What a wonderful looking lot. My favorite pic from this update would have to be the last, 62.10. The lighting effects in the picture are fantastic. I really like the lights at the base of the palm trees. Regards

    Dude, you're gonna leave us hanging eh? Well, that's ok, I'll be back for more. Great Update....Hope you got the links to those random and seasonal trees. They are most used lot. Regards
  5. Three Rivers

    The update looks great I especially like the park - very nice job there. Let me say that as coach of the the Dockers, it has been a pleasure for our team to visit Three Rivers... and what a beautiful ball park you have built there...

    I know I'll be waiting for the Reloaded Version

    Looks fantastic Jeroni....I have been downloading some Japanese Bat's today and got a chance to use a couple of them.....I like how you used the embankment wall and the bridge over the stream looks great. Did you modify the texture below the bridge? Regards
  8. Thames: British style CJ

    Your city updates are always great, but your region pictures are the best I've seen yet. I really like the houses and the trees in the second pic. Are those from a Japanese site?
  9. Anduin Valley Revisited

    Fantastic and very thorough update Darmok Pic 10_06 the fountain inbetween the buildings is a nice touch and I love how you use jeroni's rural walls here. They just seem to flow around the entire development. I really like the addition of the pond and I would have to say that pic 10_10 is my favorite. I really like those simple pics that in reality show alot of detail. The rural walls, the pond, the rod iron fence at the top, the hedge row and fence at the bottom and don't forget the playground nestled in the trees....Just wonderful I gotta know about the building of focus in pic 10_13... The region looks great. How long before we get to see Anfalas? I really like your use of the white trail pack there. I have had a hard time placing that one. I like using that tarmac set more. Anyway, I said before, but great update..... Regards...
  10. Life on an Airplane, an RHF CJ

    Yeah, that story line is great....I really like the last couple of paragraph's there. The farms look great RHF. I am glad you have been able to get everything sorted out and take full avantage of the Farming EP...
  11. Euphora: A Mikeaut1 City Journal

    Great update...I like the layout of the baseball diamonds. The local softball fields in my hometown are done the same way....
  12. Sculpting Columbia River

    Yes, again a great update.....How is it possible to have 51 pages of great updates I will be interested to see how your experiment in diagonals turns out. YAH, the one thing I have learned about Jeroni is that he usually doesn't post a pic without a reason. If someone can make that work, it'll be him. The transportation pic is a great picture. Sometimes I wonder if you might be a photographer You have mastered a knack for picking, framing and capturing a point in time from your cities. Regards....
  13. Goldenrod Plains

    Hey KOSC, really like the new banners... I really like the way old town has come along. The buildings look great, but I like to see the small details that enhance a pic. In this case, it's the palms and other greenery between the buildings, nice touch. I really like what you are doing with the freeway. Especially the way it just seems to snuggle right up next to Old town. Wow, you destroyed you downtown.[:0].....What will we get to see in it's place Wow, those buildings are huge....You weren't lying when you said you were gonna go big.... Great Update...
  14. Sculpting Columbia River

    Love the shot of El Ricon de Vandy (61.01)....What truly adds to this pic, I think, is the shadow of the palm trees on the water. I really like how you built the development in pics 61.03 through 61.05. The finished product looks fantastic. Looking at pic 61.07, I came to realize that you seem to know just which bridge to place in any given area. This bridge is perfect for this part of Costa Tramunta. Great Update...
  15. Turnwood

    Great Update and hey if all you get is a ticket for turning the mall into a swimming pool, then I say surfs up...
  16. Show us your Accomplishment!!

    Here is one of my favorite farm pictures. http://img259.echo.cx/img259/4771/21226fk.jpg align=baseline> Another great farm from the BSC http://img39.echo.cx/img39/3441/2962ly.jpg align=baseline> This was just a wonderful park that I created. http://img76.echo.cx/img76/481/964zd.jpg align=baseline> This is one of my most favorite pictures. It is very simple, but just IMHO, looks like a wonderful place to visit. http://img39.echo.cx/img39/6132/2970db.jpg align=baseline>

    KOSC - Nice job with the terraforming. I know it can take quite some time, but in the end it always seems worth it eh? The highway looks great. I would offer a tip at this point after looking over pic 24.5 When I terraform like that, I don't usually fill the entire area in with road tiles. You can usually just alternate them like this: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Anyway, you get the idea. Sometimes, you do have to fill them in, but not always....Just trying to save you some time. The med. style houses in 24.7 look great and the layout of that entire area is fantastic... The pond looks great in 24.10 and the use of the trails is perfect.... Great Update
  18. Anduin Valley Revisited

    Ahhh, where do I begin my friend First off, thanks for showing me where that water was coming from....It was bugging me...I'm a little anal retentive that way....If maggot makes a nice pale ale from the fresh mountain spring water, then I say, bring me half a glass of Guiness and bottoms up.... I noticed in your remarks, that you mentioned my technique of city building to be an inspiration....Thank you for that....I am truly humbled that fact that you have taken some inspiration from me, when you were the driving force behind me even starting a CJ. And now to the update... In the first couple of pics that highlight the Stock Exchange, I just love you European the buildings look. Especially when not too far away, the start to mix up. I also noticed the statue in pic 9_02. Nice touch... Nice placement of the Artisitic community building. That sure does look familiar.... Great idea with the Airport Tram service and the subsequent convention center. These will be a nice addition to Belfalas, especially with the tourist industry down on the waterfront. I noticed in your last pic the farms. I thought through previous conversations that you were using the BSC Farming EP? If your are, do you have the no Maxis farms mod installed? Great Update as always...... Later...
  19. Sculpting Columbia River

    Jeronij, first off, comments are always easy when visiting this Cj. **Edit** I noticed your comments regarding the placement of the BSC farms. I keep them all in one folder without sub folders. During the installation process, you are given the choice of where you want it installed. I just change the default location given with the program. Senior Vandy, It is truly an honor to accept your offer. I look forward to serving the good citizens of El Rincon de Vandy. Update Comments: Love the region shot.... I really like the way you incorporate the el rail into your city. Looks like it belongs there. I have always had a problem placing these lines as I don't think they really fit within my cities. You have pulled it off.... I also like your use of the road enterance you created for the tarmac set. I have been using these in different areas as well. They work wonderfully. Great Update.... **EDIT** Wow, you snuck one in on me there. Again, I love the use of those parking lot enterances you created.....I also agree with RHF, great use of the CSX enterance gate....
  20. Sun Valley, a Bobinator city journal

    The theme park looks great... I will cast my vote for bridge #2.
  21. Life on an Airplane, an RHF CJ

    I missed an update....arghhhh...Anyway both are fantastic, but hey it's this latest one I must comment on. Not only becasue it includes a wonderful region shot, but the farms look fantastic. It looks like you got the hang of it there RHF. I also love the story with this CJ. I like the little things like, Without my Elizabeth, my life is empty, like a hot dog cart after a baseball game. Dude, that's classic...... Great Job...
  22. Thames: British style CJ

    Wonderful Update. The region shot is incredible....I have stated it before in other CJ's, but I love those developed region shots... Hedling Island is Great. The Observatory at the top is the icing on the cake....Great Job...
  23. Sculpting Columbia River

    Just Incredible. First off, thanks for my own personal retreat there in pic 60.01. Just let me know what the Governing Body decides between our citizenship in either Sa Pusa or El Rincon de Vandy The shot of Sa Pusa in pic 60.05 is brilliant...I know that we see this same area from different angles and different zoom levels, but this one is incredible....The angle of the road working with the shoreline and even the placement of the palm trees...WOW...[:0] Nice looking farms coming along there....I really like the farming communities... Costa Tramuntana is looking great. I really like the addition of the modern looking pedestrian bridges. It lends a good mix of modernization to the old world looking builingings.....Great...
  24. Emerald Coast - my first CJ

    I'd love to be swimming in the pool of that building when a car hits the loop....Awesome. I also like the rolling look of the one way roads next to the power generators...
