Wow. This is really impressive. The details are wonderful, rendered only by
one who has had first hand experience of them. Major kudos to you, Jonathan.
You are truly an “Ashcanner” as I fear that I am not.
I have to say that your level of detail has actually disturbed me as a builder.
For I (as you have made me now realize) have had a pretty romanticized view of
“the city”. I revel in constructing “realistic” buildings in “realistic”
colors, but only in the sense of those buildings in the splendor and glory of
their interesting architectural designs and details. I concern myself with
textures and treatments, as if I were creating work of art, not a slice of
reality.
That is not to say that your work is not art, only that it is MORE. You are a
“realist” ashcanner, which I guess is an oxymoron; it makes me realize that I am
but an ashcan pretender.
But still, that is how I want it. I want my cities to be “perfect”. I want to
build in great detail, but I haven’t it in me to “go the distance” as you have.
You have done what I cannot bring myself to do, and for taking “the city” to the
next level, I applaud your work. I am not worthy:-)

This creation only uses the name, though. It does not represent the (...) (18 years ago, 1-May-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town) !!
