First reply, yay!

Nice start for an MD. The pictures are looking really good, and some very nice Photoshopping with those WW2 pictures. I like the history too, which makes the sense of realism even greater

One thing I notice is that Zuid-Haarlem is located at excactly the same postition as Zoetermeer, where I currently live

I assume that you edited the map of the Netherlands and replace Zoetermeer with Zuid-Haarlem.

I hope that this MD will have a lot of nice updates!

Best,
Maarten

Looking at the map I see no A10 Ring Amsterdam. I also see no A58 South of Breda (on the map it runs through Breda) so that means that the map has to be from before 1989. I also see no A4 south of Delft. So the map is very old. Zoetermeer is a so called "Groeikern" wich means that the government stimulated building processes in that place. City's like Almere and Nieuwegein are also groeikernen and they are mostly located near a big city (Zoetermeer -> Den Haag, Almere -> Amsterdam, Nieuwegein -> Utrecht). I think Zoetermeer was a small village at the time the map was made

Nice work, JJsa!
I love to see the development.

One thing though, I see your Dutch is a bit rusty. Surely it does not need to be perfect understand your project and to enjoy it, but it is possible you are a perfectionist and like to have some advice on the language part of your work. If you want, you may PM me.

These drawings were made by me in a train travel! I hope you enjoy! They Represent possible roofs of houses in Zuid-Haarlem.
