[banditp61]

I can't wait for the release of this!

[thingfishs]

Only small update: I finished gazebo from Adelaide.

HD render:

Brilliant work Seraf Sorry I missed the unveiling. What are your plans for it now release wise?

[harishna]

wow that is what I call a fine looking gazebo

[ivo_su]

  Damn it?
What is this monstrous thing?
I congratulate you  for the  phenomenal  and spectacular  mega project with  which  you are  embarked. Just ask whether the construction of the whole ensemble that appears in the picture or just a building, because it is truly amazing  and I think  that long ago, so not done anything spectacular. Otherwise I'm extremely pleased with the  detail and  the way you  start to look these amazing B.A.T. - Projects. I definitely can not wait to download finished this jewel which you work now.

Girafe - I did some changes in textures colors, I hope they are better now.

Aaron Graham - Thank you

CaptainAmerica - Thank you

supremec - I think it should be better now

banditp61 - Thank you

thingfishs - I'm waiting for new version of bat4max for max2012 because I'm working with it lately, I don't want to export anything with max2011 because it produces so many graphic bugs :/

harishna - Thank you

ivo_su - Thank you! I already did two buildings from Columbian Exposition and most of the grand basin, I want to recreate the whole exposition but... well, it's monumental task so I don't know when I'll be able to finish it.

I want to take a break from Farley so I did some work on Penn Station: (Sorry for no updates from european projects, I promise next time I will show some progress on them)

[ivo_su]

seraf I can not believe how many large-scale project to be borrowed directly and left me without words. When all is ready I think will be the largest combination out there - after those of St. Peter and the Hungarian Parliament made by Yoder time ago. I'm worried just how many MB will come out whole composition. I think it can not be less than 30 but will be worth it. Go ahead you have my support.

[delija21]

Wow, this is looking promising What to say, all your models look fantastic and i'm sure this one will too. Keep it up

[supremec]

You started an AWESOME BAT!!   

[serebii666]

It looks like its coming along beautifully. Good luck on the Concourse roof, I recently built a scale replica of the station in minecraft and the concourse alone took more time than the carraige ways combined  . If you would like, I could e-mail you some pictures of the building (I did research and have over 100 pictures of the exterior and interior of the station) 

[Girafe]

looks promising, the textures are much better now (pink textures are removed)

[art128]

Holy little Jesus, that start looks already fantastic!

[seraf]

ivo_su - I don't know if I understood you correctly, but yes - I think if I complete this recreation it will be one of the biggest projects ever made for SC4 And can you tell me what "MD" means? ^^"

delija21 - Thank you

supremec - Thank you

serebii666 - Yeah, I'm really scared about Concourse roof but I'm determined to make it along with Concourse interiors

Girafe - Thank you

art128 - Thank you ^^

After a long time I'm back to work at the terraces:



and a little update from Palazzo Chiericati, it's almost done, only textures left.

[metarvo]

This looks just wonderful, Seraf.  The palazzo has a luxurious feel, even without the textures.  I'm looking forward to seeing them.

[Girafe]

Terraces look amazing. It remembers me a masterpiece of architecture in Russia, Peterhof palace

Anyway really good job Seraf 

[ivo_su]

seraf I apologize for the delay in answering you but as I see I did not write "MD" but rather "MB" which means mega bytes. It's really too early to talk about it but I think that when the entire project is finished it will be over 30 mega bytes.
Otherwise, glad to see progress and I think that the things you make are beautiful. Slowly it began to acquire finished and outlines the real picture of the composition. The architectural style that you have chosen is really lovely and everything looks like in fairy tales. Do you have  any idea how much current as the tiles will cover this? I guess will be several LOTs.
Good luck with your project and I can not wait to see new photos of the development.


Regards,
- Ivo

[seraf]

metarvo - Thank you

Girafe - Peterhof Palace is a masterpiece but I think the Bethesda Terraces could be even more unique for some reasons Anyway both are masterpieces of human genius.

ivo_su - Thank you very much Terraces will be 8-9x15-16 tiles, about Exposition... I really don't know but I think it will be a LOT. 

After a long time only small update because I'm focusing now on Farley Post Office so I didn't make big progress on european projects:

Wilhelm Nationaldenkmal:



and small announcement of Opéra Garnier:

[Girafe]

Opéra Garnier seems to be an amazing project.

Did you find the blueprints you wished?

Did you know that under Opéra Garnier, there is one of the biggest swimming pool of Paris. I learned this on TV, it was for stabilizing the masterpiece 

[art128]

Opéra Garnier eh, one of the masterpiece in Paris.. Good luck with that...

[seraf]

Girafe - Yeah I found some drawings, I don't think that Bibliotheque nationale de France will be willing to borrow me the Garnier's atlas of plans of the opera by International Interlibrary loan, so I think that what I found must suffice... 
I read that underground lake was causing a lot of problems throughout the construction of the building. The building itself has some much more interesting stories in its history 

art128 - Thank you, I guess I will need much luck with that building ;P
