bat: Thank you bat I just love doing those!  :thumbsup:
Jmouse: Thank you! I'm glad it reminded you of your childhood, the zigzag on the left is the embankment on the river which runs through my city, guess I should've included a bit of the river in that pic as well :P. Thanks again!
rooker1: Haha, thank you I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Pat: Thanks pat!
bat: Thank you!


Thanks again to all of you!

Hi Callibat!
Very nice CJ (Or I guess it's MD here!)
I really like Surrey Park, it looks beautiful, and the final effect is refreshingly realistic. Great work!

Callbat wonderful update here and I love the shot with the river bank in the residental shot...

Calbat, once again I notice and appreciate your selection of BATs. But eel and pie!? Sounds like a big plate full of culture shock to me! :D

I love that BAT to the left and behind the arch in photo 2, and I like the water mod you're using - which one is it? The bridge looks great, too, and now that I see the river and seawalls, the "zigzag" makes sense. In that last update, it looked kind of like a sidewalk, but I knew that couldn't be right.

The park looks nice, albeit not exactly what I'm used to seeing, and the Park Corner is a unique idea. Then the last photo provides a good reference so I won't get lost when I visit the Kingdom of Kent! ;) BTW, the building in the right center of the last photo with the first-story arches - is it available anywere?

Until next time...

That's another new great update! Fantastic work! :thumbsup:

I didn't vote for you in the competition because I have a railroad heart but I came to your MD and I do like it.

I haven't been in Britain and know it therefore only from screen, cinema and books but your MD comes close to the picture in my mind. I especially like the way you photoshopped your pics, enough to stress the atmosphere, not too much to disturb the content.

I just the diagonal piece at that avenue bridge - it makes me feeling that there is something missing there ...  &Thk/( Maybe with some terraforming try and error you might find a better solution there ...

Take care and don't forget to make backups!

Bernhard  :thumbsup:

Looking good, callbat!

I love your work with the bridge and the River Kent! Can't wait to see more, my friend!

Very good work indeed. Your layout is realistic and very life-like too, with a lot of detail.  :thumbsup:

Everyone, I have some bad news, I've lost my entire region along with all of my work. Yes I know, a tragedy indeed.
and what's worse is I start teaching again next week and I won't have as much time to work on updates &mmm. So I hope you enjoy these pics that I took before I lost everything. I hope to have another update ASAP. :thumbsup:

Smarty218: Thank you, and yes it's MD here lol
Pat: Thank you as always for your wonderful comments, I too was very pleased with the resi tower shot.
Jmouse: Haha yes we have a bit of a reputation for bad food but I belive we're doing a decent job of getting rid of it. The water mod is by PEG and available on ST. He has a selection of water mods so I suggest you browse his works and choose one that suits your fancy. The building with the arches on the first storey is "Ottakers Bookstore" by ILL_Tonkso also to be found on the stex. Thanks again for your wonderful comment  :thumbsup:
Nardo69: Thank you, I also love trains  ;) I too was pleased with the picture effect and would you belive I cam upon it by pure accident? I would take into account what you said about the diagonal embankment at the bridge but all is lost now, so maybe when I begin city-building once more I'll take that into account. Thanks!
thundercrack83:Thank you very much
amapper: Thanks I do aim for a realistic feel!
n3w-y0rk-city: Thank you.

good work callbat :thumbsup:

it's very amazing ;o feel climate of london (yes is this London? I hope it's xD) all is all very amazing ;)

Nardo69

What a pity!!   :'(

I really liked your work ...

Unfortunately you know why I am always reminding people to make backups - I used my backups more than once, without backups I wouldn't have been able to do my CJ/MD for now almost three years ... and you know, DVDs are not that expensive anymore ... ;)

Nice area around the station! I like the situation at the column and the avenue that is starting there. It really makes me feel sad that it is gone ...

Take care and don't forget to make regular backups on your next MD region!  ;)

Bernhard  :thumbsup:


Jmouse

Oh no, not Kent!  &mmm I'm going to miss your great updates and beautiful pictures. Hope you'll be able to re-create the city using the same BATs you have now.

Love the last photo with the station, and overall just enjoy looking at all the custom content. Hope you'll enjoy your teaching job, but still find time to play the game.

Until your return...

Sorry to hear this news, my friend! I hope you're able to work things out, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how you do it!

Pat

Callbat that soo sucks, I really enjoyed coming into Kent and seeing what you have been doing and how you do it... This update was soo great too and the facts where very good too!!! I do hope you get some break time in teaching and able to play a little to rebuild, btw in the great words of Nardo69 "make sure you make a backup of everything" well almost his words but the general idea is to save a backup of all your hard work...  Hope to see Kent again soon....

batmans: Yes indeed it is London I'm so glad I was able to match the atmosphere. Thank you :thumbsup:
Bernhard: Oh yes I now know the importance of backups, such a sham that I lost all my work...I was really quite pleased. I'm glad you like everything and I think this update will surprise you  ;)

oh, and now I will never forget to make backups  :thumbsup:

thundercrack: Thanks mate, don't worry I've already restarted Kent and I hope to have a new update in a few short weeks.
Pat: haha! thank you my friend. I'm very pleased to know you really enjoyed my diary and it's comments like yours that keep this MD going  :thumbsup: My first week teaching was a bit busy but hopefully next week I won't be as occupied anymore.
bat: Thanks! I'm sure this update will surprise you

News Flash!
Callbat does something not British for once!
take a look:

Porto DeVincenzi:



Italy is my third favourite country. After Britain and Spain. So I decided that since panthersimcity4 and Criquette
(over at ST, you should really go take a look at their diaries) are already doing excellent Spanish cities perhaps I should try some Italian? I know it's not perfect (lack of boats in a port city for one thing) but I only just started last night when I got home from work lol. If you guys really like it I'll show some more Italian updates!
Don't worry Kent will still be shown, I've already started on the new Kent.

Ma-Ma-Mia! Thank-a-you very-much-a for looking!

don't-a forget to a-leave a comment!

jayo

I didn't realize you had a journal over here  :thumbsup: Great work  &apls &apls I see what you mean about the lack of boats  :D
I'm back
