I think anyone interested in the cream of modern architecture should have a good look around Foster and Partners.com Look especially at the plans for Beijing International Airport and the already-built modern miracle, the Millau Viaduct and watch your jaws drop to the floor. Astounding, honestly.

Gherkin..?? quote> It's that building that's shaped like a pickle, or an elongated football sitting on its end.quote> 30 St Mary Axe, sometimes known as Swiss RE, after the company which commisioned the building and which occupies a good deal of it. Another Foster and Partners masterpiece.

Would any of our hugely talented British BATters like to try their hand at Leeds Town Hall? I think we have a serious shortage of Grand Victorian and Edwardian architecture here (I know there are fantastic models of Battersea Power Station and St Pancras station in-progress!). If anyone is interested, i'm prepared to help by taking some digital photographs of details and the back and sides of the building and the wonderful dome over the auditorium, which is never captured in these profile shots. We have the renovated mills and factories, now we need the civic pride and grandeur for our [ex-] Victorian power house cities!

BTW, I am planning to release and addon for the Diagonal Park Fences, that will include +- 8 additional pieces, and I will include an ovelay diagonal texture with exactly the same texture. If possible this weekend. quote> Excellent news. I wait with baited breath...

Dragonanime: I downloaded all the texture packs on the STEX, just as a matter of neccesity for the multitude of lots i've downloaded. Thank you kindly for the suggestion anyway.

My first post after months of reading... This journal is absolutely fantastic. I've had a peep at a good few of the journals hosted here and, good as some of the others are, i'm yet to see one that shows such a consistent attention to detail and eye for realistic aesthetics. I reckon Jeronij would sooner cut of his own leg than employ a.... dare I say it.... grid system. Cheers for the inspiration! I'm very fond of the Citadel, as it reminds me very much of the Victoria Citadel at Gozo in Malta. Do you know this place by any chance? If I may be so bold, I have a suggestion (or is it request?) I'm trying to build a realistic city centre park, a la Central Park NYC, using your wonderful (and much-implimented) fences (see picture). I was wondering if you would consider making a diagonal lot that is half nice grass and half white pavement, so it would fit more neatly into the surroundings. God knows i've tried doing it myself with the lot editor, but I can't find suitable textures! So, if anyone else can help, i.e you have a texture that is half nice grass and half white pavement or an overlay texture that is half nice grass and half transparent (diagonally) then i'd be very grateful for the help. And another picture of the park i'm oh-so-proud of, with the City Hall and monument on show:
