Kingdom of Nova Terra, Update 5.5: Hotel Regina

[MandelSoft]

Ok, lets critisise the pics.

Buildings - 
Canals - 
Flat land - 
Street layout - 
Windmills - 
Highways -  (A at-grade intersection? That's not realistic)
Railways - 
Rail catenaries -  (Missing detail)
Farms - 
City walls -  (Not existing in most dutch towns. All demolished)
Signs - Doubt. Great that you've used my signs, but they are not used in the right way. The top sign is used for a highway-highway interchange, which is not the case. Anyway, it a great detail.

As you can see, you did it quite well. A applause for you. 

Best,
Maarten

[Simpson]

Really splendid, your city looks good

[Sciurus]

It's beautiful! I never went to Netherlands but I find t beautiful!

[bat]

Great work there on your "Netherlands" there! Looking forward to the next update...

Ok, the results are in and it's decided, the next update will be about the German Farmland and after that one we will be traveling to Madrid

Thanks to all who voted and I'll be waiting to hear from you all.

  Great update i really enjoy it . Keep it up

[tooheys]

Alan, not bad, not bad at all.

Firstly, loved the rolling farmland in the previous update 

The Dutch update also looks great and it is clear you put a lot of thought into the planning. Well done 

You obviously pay attention to detail but there was one thing that did stand out that is shown in the following pic.



The elbows on the some of the bends are a tad ugly.With a bit of experimentation I'm sure you could get the smooth result like the two curves in the middle. I know it's a minor detail but it's those little things that make a good MD a great one. I hope you don't take that as critiscism, rather constructive feedback. You may not agree, I may well be wrong (not the 1st time  )  but perhaps something to think about.

Regardless, as I stated above, a job well done. Look forward to more.

As an addition to Tooheys words:
Windmills are never placed between trees: the trees take away the wind!
Anyway, tehre is a much mor beautiful winmill by Oppie. You will find it at Simcitycentral.

You did a lot of good work on your Netherlands project. Nice. I am especially curious about how you made the canals with the green edges. It looks like you relotted callagerafx's canals, deleted the cays and replaced them by shrubberies. Is that correct?
I will try that one of these days.

Good work!

thanks for the comments, all nice so far, as always the replies will come with the full update.
As you probably know, our next destination is the German Farmland, I've been working on it but it's not finished yet... lot of work at school...

The town is around 70% finished, there missing estructures are some farms and plazas that I'll start doing tomorrow. I hope to post the full update on friday... without anything else to say I present you today's teaser:

[alan_vzla]

Ok, first of all, I never intended to double-post.... but since there were no replies....
Anyway, I planned to put a new teaser today and here is it:

[metarvo]

Those buildings are nice, and the wildflowers also add a nice splash of color to this shot.

[FrankU]

In both pictures the combination of houses and nature is very nice.
The dark castle with the fir trees gives a kind of Caspar David Friedrich atmosphere. But there is a lot of white  mist? under the trees. What is it?

The second picture shows a very nice street althought you made the houses a bit too brigt. You can see that the white surfaces "eat" a bit of the coloured ones. Pity.

But you catch nice atmospheres in you pics.

[kimcar]

  Nice teaser mate, can`t wait for see all of it.

[Simpson]

Wow my friend 
This is really splendid, I love the picture with the castle
Incredible work and also I'm looking forward to the next update

[Lilojame]

A rural trail...
