funy joke, oh yea, cool port.  I laike the corner textures better, they look more 20th century.

[thundercrack83]

I'm a fan of the corner texture, too, Robin, though they both look great to me. Excellent work with the ports, my friend!

Oh, and congratulations on 500 comments, too! Only the third MD to get there so far!

Robin wonderful updates here and I am loving the Jokes of the post!!! I do however miss the qoutes of the post though.... Anywho its good to see you MDing again...

[nedalezz]

Massive, sensational update! The work you put into your cities is something to be marvelled at. Just a question; in picture 41.10, that BAT is incredible! Any links or idea who made it?

Good morning,
SOME REPLIES,

emilin, thanks my friend for the nice comment. 
bat, the pics of the harbor will be in the update tonight, so stay tuned. 
rushman5, thanks for taking the time to reply.  At this point I'm unsure which base texture to use as I thought the other looked better. 

Oh, and congratulations on 500 comments, too! Only the third MD to get there so far!

Incredible, at least for me.  This is my most sucessful MD.  Although I have only had two others, but I am very proud of this one. 
Pat, I'm glad you like the jokes and the quotes.  Anything to make life a little lighter and happier.
nedalezz,  The building you are asking for can be found here [LINKIE] and is called COCO Park made by dmscopio.

Joke of the Post
Making a bet at a bar
Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on. It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. "I'll bet you $10 he'll jump," said the first guy. "Bet you $10 he won't," said the second guy.
Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. The second guy hands the first guy the money.
"I can't take your money," said the first guy. "I cheated you. The same story was on the five o'clock news." "No, no. Take it," said the second guy. "I saw the five o'clock news too. I just didn't think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!" 

Until tonight, enjoy your Day
(my tonight  )

   Very good update Robin. Nice to see that you use park around your work .A lot of work over ther.  BTW great joke too.

[tkirch]

Great joke.  And the update is fantastic.  Your pictures are so realistic, I think they look amazing.

[Air6]

Your last update is just wonderful. I really like your city. Great work 

[rooker1]

Just to keep you up to date.
Sorry I haven't posted my progress on the Seaport LOTs I'm working on as I didn't get the time I thought I would have to finish up the finner points and I have lost a little bit of the inspiration, I'm not very happy with how it has turned out.  But what I will do late tonight is post what I have and hopefully get some feed back and be reinspired by your comments. 
I'm also waiting to see what Yoman has for (this Brat, inside joke) me.  The seaportcrane that he created last is just amazing!!!  I'm using them everywhere. 

And here is a way back play back.  I made this stuff back in February of 2006.

Quote from from a boy my wife babysits.
The kid loves going to the internet and he keeps track of his passwords on a post-it note.
I noticed his Disney password was "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto," and I asked why it was so long.
This is what he said immediatley back at me, "Because....they say it has to have at least four characters."

Everyone have a fantastic day and I'll check in here tonight.

Alright, here it is finally.
Some LOTs that I think I can share with some confidence that they are okay, not great, but okay.
There are some small details I need to add, but I thought I would get everyone's opinion first.

Is it just me, or is there a LOD error with the cranes [see the pictures where the crane is behind the ship]?

Love the seaport, by the way.

[bat]

Great work on these LOTs! And wonderful pictures in your previous post!

Congrats on more than 500 replies!!

[thundercrack83]

Stunning, Robin! Stunning! Your works with these ports is fantastic, my friend. Every time you have an update here, I'm filled with inspiration and want to go build ports, too! Keep up the outstanding work!

Love the seaport, by the way.

Yeah there is, there used to be one from the exact opposite direction also, but xiziz fixed that, but when I discovered the one from this view also he supplied ultra complicated LODs that just won't render correct. So now I'm gonna wait until he redoes the textures.

In the meantime robin, just don't take pictures from that angle 

Seaport looks awesome btw, much busier than my garbage one

EDIT - may want to reduce the number of cranes on the dockside there (my big uns) maybe by just 1 or 2, not that many). And I'll be sure to have you test the newly textured cranes

[emilin]

Wow! Those lots look stunning! You can actually understand how those containers go from the ships and onto the trains and trucks - something that I have never been able to achive.

By the way: In the update before the port lots there are some very nice looking bus shelters, what are those?

[squidi]

great new updates robin 

i really like your residential and industrial areas from the update the page before

about the port lots:
they really show your knowledge about ports and lot editing and yomans cranes are looking very good
for my taste they maybe looking too busy  what only shows how much work u was puttin in them
maybe you should think about to reduce the number of trucks sometimes but i say that not becouse it doesnt looks good it doesnt confirm with the GE pictures i saw (maybe i havent seen the wright GE pictures)
if you really like it that way, let them in becose it doesnt look bad

Bah they suck 

[squidi]

[Yoman]

The container terminal is excellent a must for any city
