I have tried adding some noise to it. Hopefully this is more 'realistic'

I appreciate all comments!

It looks great.

But I think the / view is more textured then the \ view. Look at the front of both buildings. The shadow on the \ view seems wrong (roof).

It looks better than the previous. Since I'm dutch and I also care for a good design... May I have a go at refurbishing the station for a bit? I'll try adding some realistic texture in the weekend.

By all means, go ahead, i think its better if we have a nice set all in all, regardless who draws it.

Platforms by Zimmlock

When can we expect such a set. I've just found out about this one and I must say they all look pretty awesome. The last platforms are very nice and have a very Dutch feel to them. I, for one, am excited to use them.

Well, a lot of drawing has been done, but AFAIK we don't have a coder yet. It could take quite a time before it's finished, as I heard stations are very hard to code.

As for the platforms; They're very nice indeed (credits go to Zimmlock). I e-mailed Michael Blunck wether I/we could use his platform graphics so this set would be 'compatible' with his one. I'm still awayting an answer on that e-mail.

Besides, all that, it seems I'm the only one ATM who got time to work on this set. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Wow. I love this set

. I think I will use this in my games when it is complete.

Wow!!! That is some good work!

Where is Zimmlock btw? Haven't seen him in awhile!

bloody hell, they're lifelike! my girlfriend even recognized the third one as Amesfoort, with the overpasses. and the first one's truly like a general dutch station looks like. really great, Purno.

so when are these getting coded?

Well, thanks

Well, the overpass isn't exactly Amersfoort, but it is inspired by it.

and the first one's truly like a general dutch station looks like. really great, Purno.

Thanks again

so when are these getting coded?

so when do you volunteer coding?

well, i've also got some rails i really want to get coded, so i might get myself a quick course in coding after all.

but probably not.

Aye, that would have been nice. Anyone else voluntering, perhaps?

don't know, as usual i'd recommend Aegir. but he'd probably want to kick me in the balls for every recommendation by now.

I already asked Aegir, but he's too busy, unfortunately. Do you know someone else who's able to code stations?

hmm, i remember Oracle did some US stations, but i haven't seen him in a while. and Csbasa probably could do it, but he's always busy being innovative on everything, isn't he?

i currently can't think of anyone else, really.

It surely looks nice but I have a comment on the underpasses and overpasses. I think the walls to the side of the stairs should have a different colour then grey. Usually these walls are tiled with white or yellow tiles to make the tunnel that connects the underpasses light. Giving it a different colour will also make the fence around the staircase stands out more.

Similarly, the flight of stairs for the overpasses are too massive. No constructor will ever waste that amount of concrete just to get a flight of stairs. Occasionally you'll find some electronics units under a flight of stairs but more commonly the area underneith it is just empty.

In general I must say that the platform tiles look fabulous, together with the additional stuff one will find on a general Dutch platform.

Thats an awesome looking station, but the scale of the bridge is too large imo.

By the way: how about elevators to help the unable and elderly cross platforms?!
